MEET NATE
Nate Chesbro, aka Nice Guy Nate, is all about teaching the joy of tennis. As a champion-level junior he built a foundation of tennis knowledge that takes the guesswork out of the game. He learned from champion instructors and went on to coach champion players, and along the way he picked up the one thing the best players all share: a genuine love for the game.
After careers in insurance and real estate, Nate returned to playing and coaching. Since moving from Bend, Oregon to the desert with his wife, he's won local individual and team titles while keeping the focus on fun and sportsmanship.
His teaching is built around making tennis enjoyable from start to finish. He'll take you from beginner to competition level and teach you to play with respect every step of the way. USTA Safe Play approved.

THE N·A·T·E METHOD
"Repeat the skill. Aim for ten in a row."
— Step Three
Attain the desired skill. Broken into pieces small enough to actually master, then rebuilt into a stroke that fits your body.
Repeat the skill — ten in a row. Not three lucky ones. Ten clean. That's the standard. That's how we know it's owned.
Enjoy the moment, trust your training. The rally starts, you stop thinking, the training carries you. Now it's play.
