"I've never met a coach quite like Coach Kent. As a former competitive tournament player, I wish I had him as my coach when I was a junior. He is one of the most comprehensive tennis coaches I've ever met, dealing so effectively with every aspect of the game. He continually surprises me with his breadth of knowledge and analytical approach to tennis. He is a true student of the game, constantly sending me links and videos of other pros to help reinforce what was accomplished during lessons. With respect to the technical and strategic aspects of the game, he is without equal. Kent coaches both of my children and has transformed their game. His side-by-side video analysis is a delight to see especially as my daughter's forehand begins to resemble Swiatek's or my son's serve takes on Federer's rhythm. As my son says, 'I learn more from one lesson with Kent than an entire month of clinics.' It's so refreshing to see that both of my children have found a renewed confidence in their ability, and the comfort of knowing that their coach can truly help them. Thank you Coach Kent!"

"Kent Friedman is one of the best tennis pros we've ever had the pleasure of working with. Both my children (ages 10 and 13) and I are his students and our game has progressed tremendously in our time together. I've never met a pro who can not only analyze technique as well as Kent, but communicate as well to his players. He is a continual student of the game, constantly referencing other well-known coaches and professional players. He's always searching for new and innovative ways to explain both technique and strategy to his students. Kent's video analysis is also an amazing teaching tool he brings to the court. Being able to see slow motion side-by-side comparisons along with his astute commentary is so very helpful. We would highly recommend Kent to any serious player looking for an incredible coach!”

Coach Kent has been a terrific coach for our son Alex who is now in high school. He is extremely comprehensive and focuses on all aspects of Alex's game. Kent is a very technique-driven coach, focused on precision for all strokes. Alex's game has improved tremendously under Kent's tutelage. Coach Kent's commitment to his players and love for the sport is evident in his coaching.

 Kent has been coaching my 13 year old son for the past year and transformed his game. He has a deep understanding of the body mechanics of tennis, combined with a great teaching style. Kent quickly identified how my son can improve his technique and focused on the most important aspects of his game. He is an outstanding tennis coach. Highly recommended!

I was referred to Coach Kent by the parent of an outstanding young tennis player who was coached by Kent. How lucky we are to have him coach my daughter!

Coach Kent has helped my daughter to improve her tennis game tremendously. He is a very effective coach and brought marked improvement in my daughter's tennis skills just in a few classes.

Coach Kent has a way of explaining tennis techniques and concepts using vivid analogies that my 10 year-old can easily understand and apply to her play. He is a very experienced coach who quickly identified technique issues and employed appropriate method to achieve results quickly.

Coach Kent has a lot of tricks up his sleeves when teaching and makes every lesson fun and exciting. My daughter always looks forward to learning tennis with Coach Kent.

"Kent is an amazing tennis instructor who really cares about the game. He emphasizes correct techniques and makes the game and learning fun!"

I found Coach Kent at a time when I was looking to supplement my 6 year old daughter's training, which I personally supervised from age 4. There are good coaches, and then there are great coaches. Good coaches instruct you what to do; great coaches first understand your game and develop the game around your personality and existing skill sets. There are even fewer who are able to communicate this effectively and patiently to a stubborn 6 yr. old.
Aria went through a few coaches whose coaching motto was to shut me out immediately from her training. I found it refreshing when Coach Kent was keen to incorporate me (dad) as an integral part of her game development and worked seamlessly with her other coaches at RRC, which is no easy task. This has helped me focus on the finer nuances of the game when I coach Aria independently. Aria has been with Coach Kent for just about 6 months, and she has already improved tremendously in all aspects of her game. He spent the first 2 months just observing her with gentle corrections here and there, which helped build trust with a 6 yo. Coach Kent is a tennis academic - he quotes articles and books - sends me links. Tennis is an expensive sport, but I have no hesitancy is saying that he absolutely deserves what he charges. I feel fortunate that Aria's tennis journey started with Coach Kent.. Its a long journey and I look forward to her progress in the coming years...onwards and upwards!

Kent Friedman is an impactful coach and person! His private lessons with my high school daughter significantly improved her game. She had weekly sessions with him so the mental and muscle memories of shots and strategy really stuck. That, combined with his “balanced motivation”, resulted in a decidedly better player on the courts. Another key element about Kent is his well rounded approach to coaching. His combination of seasoned tennis experience/stories, great digital tools, ideas and drills truly tailored for her game, detailed feedback on shot mechanics, and his really balanced approach in communication resulted in my daughter liking his coaching and achieving great results. Overall, Kent is a go to coach for all types and ages of tennis players!

I can’t recommend him enough and if you want a pro that is absolutely dedicated to improving your game, he is the one. It’s been a pleasure over the past two years to be coached by him He diligently improved my game over the past couple years and he is a Tennis pro like no other. Passionate dedicated and loyal. I am truly grateful to have him as my coach. As a college player, corporate and now 20 plus years as a USTA member and captain - he dives in with his unique sense to strategy and physicality. Coach Kent is the best you’ll get!"

“I grew up playing competitive tennis through High School but didn't play in college and stopped playing for 20 years.  Moving to the suburbs and finding more opportunities to play rekindled my interest in the game and my competitive spirit!  I joined multiple local teams and leagues and quickly realized how much the game had evolved and that my game was stuck in 1985.  I needed to rebuild my game, learn new techniques, and work on developing competitve match play strategies.  I started working with Kent a few years ago.  We developed plans together to accomplish my goals and ‘Level Up’ my entire game.  Kent has a deep understanding of stroke techniques, strategy, and the ‘intangibles’ of relaxation and focus.  He is a phenomenal teacher and very patient!  Kent has improved my game beyond what I could have imagined and he has helped me build a new foundation for continued progress.  I can't thank him enough!”

"Over the course of the past several months, Kent has completely rebuilt my forehand and transformed it into a stroke that I have confidence in and which produces (largely) consistent results. I have found his video sessions particularly valuable. As a coach, Kent is very details-driven, excellent on the mechanics of the stroke and blessed with a seemingly bottomless well of patience. I cannot recommend him highly enough."

“I recently began working with Kent and he has helped my game tremendously.  Kent is an excellent coach who appreciates my desire to improve my tennis fundamentals.   He is a student of the game who not only is focused on improving my technique on the court but also sends me relevant articles to continue learning when i am not playing. Kent identified ways to improve my stroke consistency and translated those changes into simple fixes. His instruction has improved my game considerably and significantly increased my confidence on the court.  Kent is a pleasure to hit with and I always look forward to my time on court with him.”

“Kent is a terrific tennis instructor and through his technical abilities and approach to teaching tennis, my game has vastly improved.He very quickly assessed my ability and was immediately

giving me constructive advice and tools to use to work on improving. While his knowledge of tennis is very technical  Kent is very creative in his approach to teaching; using both on the court drills and in the use of technology.  Kent videotaped me playing and was able to compare my strokes side by side to the pros to show me what i was doing right and wrong. This was VERY helpful! He is really engaging and knows how to get the best out of his students!”
