The Comeback
He hadn't touched
a racquet in
twenty years.
Brian was a competitive junior, a college player at Lewis & Clark, and an assistant tennis pro out of college for three years — teaching juniors and adults. Then he stepped away.
For thirty-eight years he poured himself into strength & conditioning, building Training & Discipline — his boutique studio in central Palm Springs — into the closest thing the desert has to a sports-science clinic.
Last year, Graham Kaye called.
Kaye — Johnny Carson's longtime personal coach, now Head Tennis Professional at Woodhaven Country Club — mentored Brian back onto the court. Within months he'd earned his RSPA certification and re-entered the ITF World Tennis Masters Tour.
"Tennis has been a passion of mine since I was eight years old. I'm motivated to see people of all ages and skills develop the same love of the game."
The result is a coaching practice no one else in the Coachella Valley credibly occupies: tennis taught through the lens of a master trainer. Stroke production, kinetic chain, and injury prevention treated as a single conversation rather than three.

The Other Half
Tennis is half
the answer.
Training & Discipline is Brian's boutique personal-training studio in central Palm Springs. Owner-operated, distraction-free, backed by an NSCA-CSCS Master's-level S&C bench.
For tennis players that means kinetic-chain work, off-court conditioning, return-to-play protocols, and injury prevention for the 40+ comeback player.
The on-court instruction is one half of how you get better. The studio is the other half.
