About Us As more and more children turn to sport at a younger and younger age there is a need for coaches to really understand how to meet this need. The problem is that most of the information available to coaches focuses on models for older players. Read the Full Story
Coaches View First the clothespins scoring system was an insane hit and now we've had our first little kids tournament and the parents and kids are so excited it's crazy. Evolve9 ideas have helped us improve and grow our program. The tournament helped the parents make the connection between what we have been doing in class and how it helps the kids learn to play. Thanks! Lori Mills - Racquet Sports Supervisor - Courts Plus/Elmhurst Park District   Read the Full Story

Evolve9 Testimonials

What a great speaker! Wonderful and needs to used again and again. Lots of Great suggestions, Enjoyed every minute of it and would recommend it to everyone. I learn so much!

PT, MA, USA

First of all the workshop was tremendous. As a result I have been experimenting & incorporating what I learned into all my lessons, adults as well as juniors. The results have been astounding.

GY , Rochester NY

Mike's experience and enthusiasm for the 5 - 10 age group is obvious and I consider this one of the most worthwhile professional and personal development activities that I have undertaken.

RK, Melbourne, Aus

The Hot Shots Workshop was a life changing experience. Brilliant and evolve9 are to be congratulated. Amazing!

JV, Perth, Australia

Great to have a presenter with a sense of humour and who is so in tune with the kids learning process. It was genius, it is the best ever workshop I have been to. Everything was relevant and I look forward to applying it all.

SS , Sydney Australia

It was fantastic to meet you last week. I so enjoyed your sessions and have already put several drill ideas into play! The rallying really does work if you provide a target within a range!! Thanks again for the great insight. I am a true believer in your methods and glad to have you as a mentor.

BR , Wheaton Tennis Chicago, USA

I've used a lot of the ideas you've shared in the PTR class I took last spring. It has made a great difference in my classes not only for the kids, but for me.

MB , Maywood Tennis Club, NY, USA

"It is very evident through Mike's energizing presentations how passionate he is about the game of tennis! His wonderful sense of humor and his great knowledge of the game make a winning combination!"

Mary Lloyd Barbera - Director of Marketing, Membership, and Special Events - North Carolina Tennis Association

Mike's innovative approach to teaching children is developmentally appropriate, visionary, and FUN! His understanding of physiology and psychology coupled with a thorough knowledge of tennis stroke technique offer the depth that places him as a leader in his field. Presentations are informative, entertaining and cutting edge. After participating in one of his seminars the learner comes away looking at the game of tennis and the opportunity to teach young persons in a completely different way. He not only inspires the learner, he motivates the individual to be even more curious about mastering the art of teaching!

Lisa Duncan - President Teaching Concepts inc.

The most professional entertaining, thorough, interactive and enlightening workshop I have attended in a long time.

PO , Melbourne, Australia

evolve9 captures the essence of progressive skill development for young aspiring tennis players. Mike's approach is based on very sound growth and development principles and it is characterized by the progressive accomplishment of age and level specific tasks. He communicates with clarity, wit and passion. evolve9 programs are a must for anyone wanting to improve their teaching skills with young children.

Butch Staples  - Head Tennis Professional - Midtown Tennis Club - Chicago

What an excellent speaker. The way in which he presented the workshop and developed the relationship with the group over the three days made it very easy for me to take a lot of useful information. I would recommend this evolve9 workshop and its beliefs on tennis to everyone.

JWB , Adelaide, Australia
