world. Gene was a regular hitting partner for the more advanced students who
needed additional hitting time, as well as a regular hitting partner for the
touring players that were coming in to train for various tournaments.

her ranking from 78th to 32nd in the world.

footwork, and cardiovascular endurance into each and every clinic and lesson.
He pushes hard to get results, and enjoys seeing it pay off in his student’s
games when they build confidence and stamina.
Gene is
looking forward to working hard with our already top-notch program in order to
improve its diversity and continue to make it the quality program that everyone
from all levels of play will enjoy. |
