Meet Coach
Aaron Krisan.

A high-level competitor and thoughtful teacher who helps young players understand their game, build repeatable skills, and compete with greater confidence.

Player. Competitor. Coach.

Experience that
becomes instruction.

Aaron brings the perspective of someone who has trained, adapted, and competed at demanding levels of the sport—and who knows that a useful lesson must make sense to the individual player.

He competed in NCAA Division I singles and doubles at the University of South Alabama. His later competitive record includes a USTA Southern Player of the Year award, consecutive Atlanta Senior Invitational Men’s 35 singles titles, and selection to represent the United States at the Italia Cup.

Those credentials create useful context, not a one-size-fits-all coaching formula. A young beginner does not need the same lesson as a tournament player. Aaron’s job is to translate deep tennis knowledge into the right cue, drill, target, and challenge for the athlete standing across the net.

That is the idea behind Krisan Tennis: serious attention to detail delivered with patience, encouragement, and a practical plan.

Coaching principles

High standards.
Human coaching.

Good instruction does not simply identify what is wrong. It gives a player a better option, a way to feel it, and enough relevant practice to make it usable.

01 · See the player

Start with the individual

Goals, experience, learning style, confidence, movement, and current technique all shape the lesson. The plan changes when the evidence changes.

02 · Simplify the work

Choose the useful cue

A player cannot act on six corrections at once. Aaron prioritizes the change with the most value and gives it language the athlete can remember.

03 · Connect it to play

Make technique functional

A stroke becomes valuable when it helps solve a point. Practice progresses toward movement, targets, patterns, and decisions rather than ending at appearance.

What players should leave with

Clarity for the
next ball.

A lesson should create more than a tired player and an empty basket. It should create understanding.

Players should know what they were trying to improve, what a better version feels or looks like, and where that skill fits in a rally or point. Parents should be able to understand the current priority without needing a technical lecture. Over time, those small pieces become a more complete game.

Aaron’s competitive background brings credibility to the process. His teaching approach makes that experience accessible to a child learning a first rally, a junior preparing for a school lineup, or a tournament player looking for a more reliable pattern.

Train with purpose.

A serious game can still
be built with joy.
