Hello my name is Curt, I am a Dedicated Tennis Coach with 17 years of experience providing tennis instruction to players of all ages and levels. I have a proven track record of motivating students with positive instruction to promote players to reach their full potential.

"I took my first ever lesson with Coach Curt. He was very professional and I could tell he has a great knowledge of the sport, He was very patient and gave me great tips on how to improve. I only had one class but I already felt like I learned a lot!

I work with athletes of all levels, from middle school to professional. Creating individualized plans for every athlete with regard to their specific needs. I’m comfortable utilizing biomechanical data (Uplift AI), retestable performance metrics (Keiser, Plyomat, Force Plate, VBT), slow motion video analysis (Edgertronic), and all applicable baseball metrics (Trackman, Rapsodo, Hawkeye) to formulate specific plans with structured goals. Created full return-to-play programs for athletes recovering from UCL reconstruction. From day 1 of rehab, to first throw, to first bullpen, to getting drafted and signing a D1 letter of intent. Wrote code to compile all performance metrics with the goal of showing closest correlation to the outputs we want. Active communication with high school and college coaches, as well as professional scouts.

Curiosity and precision guide my coaching—I help players refine technique, strategy, and court awareness while keeping sessions lively and constructive. I have several years of teaching experience and specialize in tactical development, footwork, and personalized practice plans. I coach beginners to intermediate level players through clinics, drills, and individual lessons. I really enjoy watching players grow in their pickleball journey.

For over a quarter-century, I've cultivated a love for football in athletes of all levels, from playing at the Univ of Iowa and Univ of Akron to playing with the Jacksonville Jaguars to the CFL and becoming an Arena Football champion.

Also coaching football runs in my family, my parents (father coaches football & basketball, mother is a life coach) and my brother (coaches football) are all coaches. My purpose for coaching is to leave an impact so great on my athletes that will help carry them successfully through their lives on and off of the field.

"As a parent, I couldn’t be happier with the progress my child has made training with Coach Dej. From day one, she has been professional, patient, encouraging, and fully invested in helping my child grow both on and off the court. She creates a positive environment while still pushing athletes to work hard and stay disciplined. Since training with her, my child’s confidence, ball handling, conditioning, and overall basketball IQ have improved tremendously.
