Mental review · Sample

Set 2, 4–4, 30–40

  • Rushed to the line after double fault — 6 sec between points.
  • Head down, racket strings check skipped.
  • Next step: towel → breath → one-word cue before serving.

"Reset · Refocus · Compete."

Sound familiar?

Practice hero, match nerves

Plays freely in practice, then tightens up the moment it counts.

Can't close it out

Up 5–2, then the lead slips away point by point.

One error becomes five

A single miss spirals into a lost set.

Losing the love

Tennis started as fun. Now it feels like pressure.

Founder & Head Coach

  • No. 1 in New Jersey
  • Top 100 U.S. Recruit
  • Past UTR 12
  • $25K Pro Events
  • WTA Hitting Partner

I've been where your player is. I spent years training full-time in Florida and competing at the top U.S. junior events, Men's Opens and $25K pro tournaments. For three years I was a hitting partner and coach at Axis Tennis Academy, training every day with high-level juniors and WTA pros, and I saw what separates players who freeze in big moments from the ones who rise in them. It's rarely their strokes. It's how they think, plan and compete.

Since then I've coached every level, from beginners to high-performance juniors and competitive adults, most recently as Assistant Director of Tennis at Preakness Hills Country Club. My coaching is honest, positive and built around real matches. I'm completing my RSPA Professional certification.

FAQ

Who is Mindrally for?+

Competitive junior players aged 12–18 who train seriously and play tournaments — and the parents who support them.

Is this therapy?+

No. We're mental performance coaches, not therapists. If we see something that needs clinical support, we'll refer you to a licensed professional.

How do sessions work?+

All sessions are 1-on-1 or small group over Zoom, so you can join from anywhere.

Will you change my player's technique?+

Never. Technique belongs to your on-court coach. We focus only on the mental side.
