A career that matters

what The Industry says

Nick is intentional to develop the player from the inside out so that they are not only successful tennis players, but people as well.

I started working with Nick when I was 10yrs old. He was my primary developmental coach, building my game and confidence, and has been part of my team at different times throughout my professional career. Nick’s philosophy is to consistently focus on improvement by excelling in specific tasks on court daily. What I loved most about working with Nick was his focus on me, as a person, rather than who I was on the tennis court. Nick has a value centered, wholistic approach to coaching. His approach focuses on every student finding what brings them joy while encouraging them to be the best version of themselves every day. It’s a thoughtful, positive approach that definitely brings out the best in you.

As a graduate of two Ivy League schools, training and teaching in surgery at Harvard Medical School, and as the parent of five children playing competitive sports, I have never seen a teacher as gifted as Nick Saviano. His uncanny ability to assess a player’s personality and mental stages of a player’s development to transmit his unequaled knowledge of the technical aspects of tennis have helped our daughter’s game and national ranking skyrocket in just one year at SHPT. Needless to say her strokes have improved, but more importantly she has learned to believe in herself and compete for every point.
