Testimonials
I’ve connected with so many players over the years. Here’s what just a few have to say.
I’ve trained with a number of coaches over the years and Mike Van Zutphen is by far the best. When I was stuck in my game and not improving he helped where 3 other coaches were not able to. After making progress on my mechanical issues, Mike has now helped me progress my game further than ever. His strategy classes and training methods are eye-opening, and unlike any other I’ve found in my history of playing tennis. I would encourage any player, work with Mike for doubles strategy, techniques and methods, fundamentals for both beginning players, intermediate and advanced. You really have no idea what you’re doing wrong or what you need to do to win more and play better, until you experience his training.
