About Irvin

I teach tennis lessons to anyone and everyone. Never touched a racket? No problem! Do you want to go up a level, make the high school team, or be able to play with friends? Kids, high schoolers, adults, couples, and groups. I love tennis!

Worked with Rick Macci (coach of 5 world #1 players including Williams sisters and Andy Roddick), Jose Higueras (head of U.S. high performance program), Jeff Salzenstein (former top 100 player), Hans Podlipnik- Castillo (Wimbledon QFist), and many others. Head high school coach for 12 years, tennis serve specialist, active tournament player, patient teacher.

Passionate about helping underserved kids throughout Seattle learn tennis and have organized and connected with many initiatives to do so.

I used to work in tech and coached high school tennis.  I got tired of tech and decided to teach full-time.

My goal is to help you achieve your goals whether that be improving technique or beginning to learn to play.  To that extent, I am fairly flexible in my approach.  For beginners, I focus on technique, proper grips, and generating topspin.  To do this, I focus on  hand feeding a lot of balls early on to develop proper technique and to train the muscle memory.  Specifically, I teach a semi-western forehand, two-handed backhand, volley fundamentals, split stepping, proper footwork and serve mechanics.  I also work with students who have one-handed backhands.  I am a big believer in putting in a lot of time on the serve and serve return.  For more experienced players, I will work with you to either identify areas for improvement or to work on areas you’ve identified you would like to improve.

Tennis is an extremely difficult sport to play so it will take a lot of work on your own time regardless of the coaching you receive. Have a clear understanding of your goals and what you are trying to achieve. If you are a beginner, there are two schools of thought. I ascribe to teaching top technique from the beginning. Other coaches teach simplified strokes to have better short-term results. Understand the philosophy of the coach and whether that is a good approach for you.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
They should have a clear understanding of their goals and how much work it will take to get there.  They need a racket and a pair of tennis shoes.  Find a coach who is the right fit personality and who is passionate about giving you the best instruction.
