Mikele is very knowledgeable on more details than I even knew there was to know about every maneuver, even down to the different title of every grip, and I could really tell a difference from my old way of thinking to understanding how even 1 minor change of movement, could change everything and make for a more relaxed swing. You can tell he has so much wisdom to share on this sport, down to the very analytical. The only thing that made it difficult, at least for me, as a beginner is wanting to hear the instruction a bit slower and put that into practice first before being given a lot of information at once. I feel it runs very smoothly for an Advanced class, but I know there's other reviews in here where some Beginners are able to obtain the information quick & just fine! But you're not making a mistake by going to Mikele because he will tell you way more information than any other coach would take the time to help you with your form. He's a great genuine guy! read more

Mike is a highly technical tennis coach who was super detailed and thorough in his advice on how to improve my ground strokes and serve.

My brother coached my two older sons for years, teaching them his favorite sport. Coach Mike, coincidentally would often be teaching other kids in a nearby court and watched as my boys develop their game. As my son's skills improved -- and uncle's free time diminished! -- Coach Mike became their coach and took my boys tennis to another level. He's fun, yet firm, and always keeping practices interesting while instilling a strong work ethic. read more
