About Michael Boothman

RSPA Elite Professional. More than 20 years coaching tennis.

I'm Michael Boothman. I coach tennis in Sarasota, I founded SRQ Tennis, and I build the systems that keep a small business running. Most of my week is still spent on court.

How I Coach

Everything I teach comes from a system I call the Six Pillars. Most of every session is live ball. I coach contact instead of copying a pro's swing, and players see their progress as numbers they can check week to week. Last week 6 out of 10, today 8 out of 10.

These days most of the people I coach are adults who already play and want to get better. I still coach juniors, and I talk to their parents the same plain way. More on the coaching page.

Why I Build

Running SRQ Tennis came with a lot of admin. Attendance, lesson packages, payments, messages to parents, and a schedule that changes every week. So I built software to handle it, and now that system runs in the background while I coach.

Other local business owners have the same problem, so I build websites and automation for them too. That work lives on the building page.

Outside Work

I'm a husband to Amanda and a father. Being a parent taught me most of what I know about coaching, especially patience and knowing when to push and when to wait.
