What Elite Students Are Saying:
"It's like night and day...we've made monumental differences"
"The Elite program is like physical therapy or rehabilitation where you start in one place with a tennis injury, and then over the course of the 6 months you rehab that injury to the point where at the end you are left in a much better place than when you started. I think that’s really important and it’s what makes Elite different and I think superior than any other form of coaching that you could receive from Essential Tennis.
You can pull up a video of me 6 months ago hitting a forehand or a serve vs me hitting one today and it’s like night and day. It’s the serve, its the forehand, it’s the backhand. We’ve made monumental differences in those strokes."

"We've planted the seeds for the future..."
"Elite is completely different coaching because there’s one focus, it’s very simplifying, it slows everything down. There was continuity between our emails where you’re being held accountable to learn a skill before we move on to the next one. I’m very picky with the coaches I choose and in regular lessons I wasn’t really being held accountable to work on something until I got it and I could do it.
I think what we have done in these 6 months has planted the seeds for the future and I think that’s the most important thing. I feel like I’m on a path that is going to help me improve all those different layers of being able to do something when you’re by yourself vs a hitting partner and then eventually in match play. Those seeds have been planted and I now know what to do."

"The Elite system really works..."
"The Elite system really works. I feel like my forehand actually improved without not that much work because I received a real framework and I did the practice of just dropping to myself. I would say pretty quickly I was able to get a feel for how good it feels to be relaxed.
I would call it quantum improvement, which is gold if you really want to get better because little quick fixes don’t change your game profoundly. I think that if I’ve tasted what it feels like to hit a forehand with less tension I feel like I can go back and really work that into my game.
I’m very confident that if I do what my coach laid out that I’ll improve every aspect of my game in a quantum way. A fundamental, impactful, transformational way. Not just kind of tweaking my shots but transforming my shots."

"I was just guessing what was wrong..."
"I definitely improved as an Elite student. I can see very important differences and improvement in most of the areas that we worked on. Now if I make a mistake that I used to make before I immediately know what I did wrong and I immediately know how to correct it so the next shot I don’t make the same mistake.
Before Elite I would make a mistake and knew that something was wrong because I lost the point or I hit an awful shot but I was not sure what I did wrong. I was just guessing what was wrong. Now most of the time when I lose a point I know immediately what to change to it’s very easy to autocorrect in real time."

"Definitely worth it...now I feel equipped"
"Looking back having done it the price was more than fair and I got way more value than what I actually paid for the program. I would say to someone who’s considering investing the funds: definitely worth it. Particularly when you compare it to taking lessons or traveling to a clinic somewhere where the cost is essentially the same but you’re not getting 6 months of help.
I promise you if you do the things we talked about today you will wind up 6 months later in a way better place than when Kevin or Ian or Megan found you. They will leave you better off than when they found you, and that’s really all you can ask for. Now I feel equipped. Equipped to now do this on my own and be able to self diagnose and self medicate and self treat the issues that arise."

"The value with Elite has been exceptionally good..."
"The value with Elite has been exceptionally good and I had high expectations going into it. The whole system that they’ve built, everything from doing the analysis and providing an Action Plan and holding the student accountable. The whole system has been an exceptionally good way for me to learn.
If you’re looking for a quick fix or if you aren’t willing to put in the work or maybe cut down on other activities they are doing then Elite probably won’t be a good fit. But if you really want to improve and if you care about your long term improvement then this is definitely the best way to do it."

"I know I will continue to improve..."
"If you check how much you’re investing in your game in clothes, in racquets, in lessons and you calculate very quickly “ok I’ve been paying my pro for one year, one or two lessons a week” and how much did I learn? How am I different today than a year ago? In my case I thought for a while and I couldn’t come up with anything relevant from one year of normal training.
That’s as opposed to my Elite training. I can mention many things that now I’m doing better, and not only what I know I improved in these 6 months but what I know I will continue to improve following the same methodology. For me it was definitely worth the money and the time invested."

"I have 100% confidence in the coaching..."
"The times that I’ve practiced with my husband he’s been like 'wow your game totally changed'. He could feel it when I was serving, things were starting to change in a way where he said 'your serve feels totally different, it feels like the guys I play with'. He had some comments that I’d never heard him say and we’ve been playing together for 10 years. That’s another reason why I feel confident my game will keep improving, it’s cool to have someone like that who’s known me before and after my Elite coaching.
It is an incredible privilege and a golden opportunity to work with the Essential Tennis coaches. If you have a deep commitment to improving then what Elite brings is so professional and so supportive and thoughtful and effective. I have 100% confidence in the coaching and in the experience of Elite. I would say you can get a ton out of it. Whatever you put in you can get a ton out of it."

"I've taken a few lessons...but Elite is so much more"
I’ve taken a few lessons here and there, which were good, but Elite is so much more. It’s the video feedback, the Action Plan. All of the tools that Essential Tennis uses are huge. You’re really looking at me in the whole process of the forehand, for instance, and improving that and making it better.
The value is absolutely there. I think the knowledge and the expertise that Elite provides is exceptional. I feel really lucky to be able to have their ear, whenever I want to email or call or whatever I’ve got them one on one. They’re only looking at my video when I send it in and they have top rate experience. They know they game, they’ve played the game, they know how to coach and teach and explain it to me. All of it is first rate.
