Hi There!
I’m Niba, a tennis coach and performance strategist working with adult players, juniors, and developing athletes who want structure, clarity, and real progress.
My background spans competitive play, collegiate tennis, and years of coaching in high-level club environments. I’ve designed and led adult programs, worked closely with juniors in their developmental years, and supported players navigating the transition from learning fundamentals to competing with confidence. Across all ages, my focus is the same: helping players understand why they’re doing what they’re doing, not just how.
I hold degrees in psychology and public health, which deeply shape my coaching approach. Improvement isn’t just technical. It’s behavioral. Players often get stuck not because they lack effort, but because they’re overwhelmed by information, inconsistent with habits, or unsure what actually matters. My role is to diagnose, prioritize, and build systems players can trust.
With juniors and developmental players, I emphasize strong foundations, smart patterns, and confidence-building habits that support long-term growth. With adults, I focus on efficiency, decision-making, and training structures that fit real lives, limited time, and real match pressure.
Whether you’re looking for detailed video analysis, ongoing support, or simply want to book a Zoom session to talk through your game and ask questions, this space is designed to meet you where you are. Coaching doesn’t always start with fixing something — sometimes it starts with a conversation.
