We’re pleased to announce the EEvaluation, Pat’s newest service to help evaluate your strengths and weaknesses from your own home!

All you need to do is send in a video of tests (provided on our website) and a complete match of your player(s) to Pat.  Pat will evaluate the tapes, recommend drills, and show you what strengths and weaknesses you and your players can work on for your physical game.

For more information and to sign up for our introductory rate, visit our EEvaluation page today!

Pat has recently been announced as the Advisor to the USTA’s National Team, which is comprised of an elite group of USTA prospects as well as several pros currently on the tour.

The mission of the USTA Player Development Program is to develop world-class American players through a clearly defined training structure and competitive pathway as well as through the implementation of a comprehensive coaching philosophy and structure. The USTA Training Centers are one piece of the puzzle to accomplish this mission.

Pat will be developing a national training philosophy for player development to be sure that all the members of the National Team are physically fit to perform at their highest level.  Pat consults with USTA’s High Performance Coaches to evaluate their individual players needs and develop training programs for them that are then monitored by the coaches and trainers.  All this to achieve the USTA’s desired goal: “To elevate the level of High Performance Coaching in the United States with the intent of facilitating the development of world-class American tennis Champions.”

Pat travels to the USTA Training Centers in Boca Raton, FL and Carson, CA, several times a year to work with players and coaches.  He just came back from 3 days at Boca, and will be in Carson, CA, the 20th - 22nd of October.

As many in the tennis world know by now, and as mentioned by Belgian news outlets, Justine Henin will be making her return to the WTA spotlight in 2010. Pat is enthusiastic about Justine coming back, saying her return “will make the tour even more competitive, and that’s good for tennis.” Justine and her coach, Carlos Rodriguez, will be meeting with Pat down at Justine’s Sixth Sense Academy at Mission Inn and we will bring you further developments if and when they occur.
