Renard started playing tennis at the age of 11. As a nationally ranked player in the juniors he then went on to play collegiate tennis (scholarship) for Hampton University. He and his team won the NCAA division 2 title making Hampton the number one ranked collegiate team in the nation. After college I played around the world on the satellite and challengers professional circuit. After the world tour I went on to represent and play for one of Europe's strongest professional club teams in Germany for 10 years. Having retired from professional tennis I began a new chapter teaching others the sport I love.' I taught lessons in Germany and after several years moved back to the United States. I have been teaching tennis full time to all ages and skill level from beginners to nationally ranked players for over 30 years. I enjoy teaching all levels. I especially enjoy teaching beginners the fundamentals and a solid foundation they will have for the rest of their lives. Fluent in German.
Coaching for me is about helping you reach your tennis goals. I believe in improving your performance as a tennis athlete first, with winning being the result of achieving your goals.
Our program challenges our students to strive for improvement in areas, rather than a “winning at all costs” philosophy. We also believe in working together with our students in a cooperative manner in which decisions are collaborative and the training structure is flexible.
You, the student, should feel that the lesson is uniquely tailored to you and taught by a trained professional who enjoys teaching and being on the court with you.
