“Not only is Mark a great tennis coach but he’s one of the best men I know. His honesty and trustworthiness are rare. I’ve known him for over 20 years and I’ve seen him grow
in the sport. He brings the energy of three to every session and his positive attitude is infectious.”
– Christopher Crabb, Tennis Pro
“Over the years, I’ve had many various trainers and coaches. Everyone of them had developed their own 1-size fits all program, usually based on the latest fad diet or workout routine. Mark has been completely different… He has a vast knowledge of virtually all workout regimes and diets, however, he tailors it to my personal needs. As I am sure you know, everyone is different and needs a specific program that works for you. Mark is that trainer, he understands the fluidity of training and coaching and will adapt to you specifically, not his own personal agenda/beliefs. Rarely do other trainers have the maturity to understand the importance of this dynamic. Thanks for all your help Mark.”

“Our family has had the privilege of working with Coach Pfau for over 10 years. His kind and gentle approach is matched only by enthusiasm and passion. He has helped both of my son’s character as much as there athletic skills.”
– Kira Kosove, Mom of a Young Football, Basketball and Tennis Athlete
“”Being an athlete since I was very young I learned through trial and error the coaching style that best inspires athletic achievement and personal growth. In high school I met the greatest coach ever, Mark Pfau. We named him “Coach Sir” because our tennis team was not used to a coach with such high training standards. Coach Sir quickly grew on my heart as I noticed that, athletically, my physical performance was improving faster than it ever had before. His training style is intense, passionate and always with the best interest of the student in mind. As a Coach, he is inspiring. He pumped us up as a team constantly with empowering words that motivated and pushed us to new heights. While he was our tennis coach we became League Champions. Mark Pfau is not, however, just a coach. He is an outstanding human being. He is one of the most important people in my life. I graduated from Notre Dame High School in 2007. I earned a scholarship to play college tennis. I’ve since graduated from college and now, years later, I still call Coach Pfau for guidance, comfort and wisdom. He is truly one of a kind. Once you are his student, you are his friend for life.”
