Lost Forest Pros
Todd Whitley, Director of Tennis
I was born in Houston, Texas and grew up playing top level junior tennis in Texas. I currently reside in Houston with my wife and sons who all play and enjoy tennis greatly. I began teaching tennis over 17 years ago. I've traveled and worked in many clubs and gained a great appreciation for the club environment and the value of its members.
Apart from teaching tennis and all its multiple strokes and strategies, I will help a player, of any level and age range, through a system of intense repetition and mental toughness techniques, develop a core set of skills necessary to overcome adversity both in the game as well as in life.
So be prepared to have fun and hit a ton of balls!! Todd.Whitley@LostForestTennisClub.com
