Changing Swings and Minds Daily

I built Swings & Minds to help players develop as complete competitors. Every session blends technical coaching, mental performance training, video analysis, and real match strategy so juniors and adults improve with clarity and purpose. My program is designed to strengthen your swing, sharpen your decisions, and elevate your mindset. When you train with me, you learn how to think, move, and compete with confidence—on and off the court.

From Neighborhood Courts to Lifelong Coaching

My journey began at eight on San Antonio public courts, then moved to Windcrest Tennis Club, where my first real coach, Sandy Samuelsson, taught me how to shape the ball, build a reliable serve, and think the game-planting the seeds for the teaching style I use with players today.

Growing Through The Game

I grew through tough high school battles at Stratford, teaching my way through Texas A&M, and serving as Head Pro and Assistant Pro at respected Texas clubs. Those years added up to 30,000+ hours on court, helping beginners, varsity hopefuls, and seasoned adults build stronger games and stronger minds.

Purpose, Vision, and Growth

My purpose with Swings and Minds is simple: develop the whole player. I help juniors and adults sharpen their swings, train mental routines, and learn how to compete with clarity and composure-so the confidence they build on court shows up in school, work, and family life, too.

Coach Karl

I’ve spent more than 45 years playing, competing, and coaching tennis, and everything I teach comes from real on‑court experience. I started coaching at just 20 years old, and since then I’ve worked with juniors, high‑school athletes, adults, and competitive players across Texas.


My approach is simple: I work on the swing and the mind at the same time. I blend technique, movement, strategy, rituals, and mental performance so players learn how to think, compete, and perform under pressure. My goal is to help you become a stronger, more confident player on and off the court.


I keep my coaching fully professional and safety‑focused. I’m a USPTA Elite Professional with active membership in both the United States Professional Tennis Association and the United States Tennis Association. I’m USTA Safe Play compliant, and I maintain Adult and Pediatric First Aid, CPR, and AED certification. Every player I work with trains in a safe, trusted, and professionally supported environment.
