• Girls' Varsity Tennis Coach

  • Sep 2015 - Dec 2015

  I coached the Branham High School Girls' Tennis Team in San Jose. When I picked up the team this year, they had gone 3-11 the prior year. We set the goal of going 7-7 and very nearly reached that goal. We were in third sets of the deciding matches against two opponents but just barely came up short. We finished the season 6-8, 4th in the League, and had an incredible group of girls. I coached the Branham High School Girls' Tennis Team in San Jose.

• Boys Varsity Tennis Coach

  • Feb 2015 - May 2015

  I coached the Leland High School Boys Tennis Team in 2015. I played there as a high-schooler, and it was a great experience to return as a coach. The year before, they had been dethroned, finishing 2nd in the league after some unexpected losses. When I began with the team, we accepted eight freshmen, six of which played in our top 10. With the team as young as it was, we still regained our title of League Champs and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for us! I coached the Leland High School Boys Tennis Team in 2015.
