Cari is an excellent tennis coach for all skill levels and takes a fun, engaging approach with a focus on improving fundamentals. I have seen a large improvement in my sons game in a short period of time. Very professional, disciplined, focused and tailors the game to meet your needs! I highly recommend Cari as a tennis coach.

Cari is truly a top-level tennis coach. We have had 10+ tennis coaches in the past 7 years, and Cari has been one of the best if not the best. Rather than approaching her coaching in a robotic, one-system-for-everyone way, she is super attentive to each student and works hard to figure out the solutions that work best for them. She will adapt and adjust her coaching methods until she finds the right solution for an individual.

Whereas some coaches give too little technical feedback and some swarm the student with a constant flow of technical feedback that can be overwhelming and easy to forget, Cari hits a happy medium where she gives really pointed, useful technical feedback but in the right doses and at the right times. I've learned over the years that this seems to be one of the hardest things for a coach to do well, and I think she does it as close to perfectly as I have seen.

One of the things that stood out to me early on, though, is how much attention she gives to students out of session. She’s the only coach we’ve ever known who checks in with her students — consistently — to see how they did in a tournament or match. I’ve even seen that she even goes to some of their matches when possible. This just exemplifies how much she cares and thinks about her students.

Her own technical ability is clearly of a very top level. Her ability to hit all kinds of shots, perfectly, at any time is always impressive. It’s a testament to how much time she put into figuring out how to play at a top level.

Overall, she is committed to doing things 100%. She pushes her students to do their best, but in a compassionate way. She doesn’t slack off herself when coaching. And she impresses on students the idea that they have to put in the work with serious intent if they want to get better.

Despite the college/pro-level intensity, she is also good at making sure the lessons are fun. Having fun leads to greater success, and it appears she understands that implicitly.

I am sure I am missing some points to add. Overall, though, I think you get the point. She is a top level tennis coach who pays a lot of attention to detail and also cares a great deal about her students. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

My son has been training with coach Cari for the past couple of years. She has been amazing throughout the whole time my son has been with her. His skill set has dramatically improved from his serves to his ground strokes as well as match strategies. She is very technical and hands on with her students. She is very passionate about teaching tennis.

Carolina has helped me become an avid tennis player from starting as a complete beginner. Her encouragement and attention to detail really assists with progress and has helped me stay motivated and increase my abilities in tennis significantly.

Caris a super friendly and committed coach! She takes responsibility for giving her students a great plan for building their game. And not just that but also mental confidence. I've known her for over 10 years, pro players now. And I can definitely say she's been a part of helping build a great foundation in terms of tactics, mental strength, and emotional support
