I have been very blessed in my 25+ years of teaching & coaching to have worked with excellent student athletes & families in both basketball & tennis. Obtaining my Master's degree in 1972, preceded a successful stint as successful athlete at the collegiate level in the state of Iowa before returning home to Fairhaven, MA in 1996 to care for my mom. Itching to again coach, led me to Old Rochester High School in tennis for (11) glorious seasons. It was then I studied & applied more of tapping into the mental aspects of sports performance and passed those successful concepts to my players. My W.I.S.E. system works! (Wellness Inner Sports Edge) The goal is to control ones emotions, increase confidence & enjoyment of your sport without pressure, tune out negativity and gain a competitive edge over your opponent by maximizing your inner energy. Being WISE is a valuable asset & weapon.
My motivation as your coach is to establish a trusting relationship and help you establish a new level of confidence in reaching your goals. The ultimate aim also of becoming a productive member of society with contributions that are meaningful. There is more to life then sports and I hope to prove that in our sessions.
God Bless as I look forward to working with you,
Coach Jim
