In this video I’m very happy to welcome back pupil Cole Mogan to the game of tennis after a three year absence. I taught Cole the game from the ages of 8-11, and now at 14 he’s getting back into the ‘swing’ of things, and hitting forehands and backhands as if he never took a break from the game, just has to get fit, be on his toes and improve on his footwork and he’ll do well in High School Tennis next coming season. For tennis instruction that will stay with you FOREVER, head over to The Tennis Vault, and get your game sharpened & polished up with our videos

These two videos below are priceless for me, as Kelly has never ever played tennis before in her whole life. I came to London to stay at hers and her husband my good friend Rafael’s house, to work with some Vault clients during my European Trip. She has decided to take a chance and see what she can do out on a tennis court holding a racket trying to hit a tennis ball, and the result we got today after her first time ever was amazing!! I’m so proud of you Kelly, good job!!

These two other videos today are also from a known person from an earlier post here on my Blog, it’s Tennis Vault client Piers Baker. He is an intermediate player with lots of self taught wisdom and shot variety to put a few for sale and still have enough left to play a match with, a very versatile and crafty fella. I am now on the third city of my very First European Tour Teaching & Coaching in person, I’m visiting Piers & Marissa in Nottingham England. I met with Piers also today at the local club courts, (thank you for allowing us there), and after 3 days of 2 hour lessons on both his Forehand and Backhand, the results are on these videos. As you will see, Piers hits a big and smooth ball, cheers big man!! it was non stop fun all the lessons with you!! I look forward to coming back to Nottingham again next year!!

These two videos today are of Tennis Vault client Dirk Uhlenbrock. He is a self considered beginner, he has seen my videos on the Internet and had private lessons before with me in the USA. I am now on the Second City of my very First European Tour Teaching & Coaching live in person, visiting Munster, it’s in Germany, and that is thanks to his and Marcus Von Bohlen’s support. I met with Dirk this afternoon, after 3 days of 1 hour lessons on his Forehand and Backhand, the results are down below on these videos…
Forehand in 5Min – Lukas Uhlenbrock

This quick and casual i-Phone video was made today, in Munster Germany, during my 1st Fall-Season European CMOR Trip. Shows Lukas Uhlenbrock’s Forehand after literally just a 5 minute lesson, just the tail end of his mama Sandra’s lesson, and let’s keep in mind here that he never ever even tried touching a racket before!! Passionate since birth for football (soccer), and a good little player himself (I saw him in action on little-league practice), this was literally his very first time on a tennis court… what do you think, pretty good?! Well, I’d say he hit the ball pretty nice & sweet for a 1st timer!!…
