Michelle Seidl

Grant Grinnell has spent his entire professional life dedicated to developing the most effective and efficient methods to helping athletes find their best fast. I have personally benefited as a current 6.0 tennis player, and as a full time coach more from Grant's methods than all of my other resources put together. I estimate that Grant's teachings have fast forwarded my knowledge base and instructional abilities ten years, and frankly I may have never reached the level I feel I am currently without Grant's help.

Jesse Schouten

"You're amazing! In ten years of taking tennis lessons, I haven't found anyone that can come close to your teaching style. Thanks for making my Maui trip so special.. All those glowing testimonials on your website were absolutely right on... Grant is the Greatest."
