nadim naser
Former top-rated German junior turned tennis coach. Coach of high-performance juniors. Winner of the Ollie award.
Nadim is a former top-rated German junior, who came to the USA in 1998 as a 17-year-old to play the pro circuit. He achieved a world ranking in singles on his first attempt, but a severe shoulder injury changed his path. In January 2000, Nadim joined the University of South Florida men’s tennis team and played 4 years for them, winning conference championships, captaining his junior and senior years, and making the All-Conference USA Team.
After graduating college with a B.A. in Marketing in December 2003, Nadim took on coaching high-performance juniors (incl. No.1 U16 in the USA) full-time before going back to school and earning his M.B.A. from the University of Tampa, where he acted as Assistant Tennis Coach for the women’s team between 2005 and 2007.
From 2007 until 2017, Nadim resided in Miami, FL before moving to Southern California where he currently resides.
While in Miami, FL he enjoyed a 4-year spell from 2007-2011 as Co-Director and Head Pro at the renowned Cliff Drysdale Tennis (CDT) operated Ritz Carlton Tennis Garden in Key Biscayne, FL and Co-Director of the CDT Junior Summer Camp at Crandon Park. This is where his passion for technical tennis instruction came to the forefront, honing his skills in high-performance junior development, as well as recreational adult training.
During his first year in Miami, Nadim met Florian Meier, founder and owner of OnlineTennisInstruction.com (OTI), quickly forming what now is a life-long friendship. Since that time in 2007, Nadim has studied the game of tennis extensively from an instructional perspective using video analysis tools and adopted the OTI progressive system later on, ultimately joining forces with Florian as OTI Master Instructor in 2014. To date, Nadim has created and led hundreds of private lessons and clinics around the US, Central America, South Africa and Europe and travels to 10+ destinations domestic and abroad every year to instruct eager athletes. Also, on YouTube, the OTI team around Florian Meier, Gregg LeSueur, James Ludlow and Nadim enjoy global popularity in the online tennis community. Nadim is also founder of his own business, Master Your Tennis, where he trains and mentors athletes of all walks of life in personal one-on-one and small group comprehensive tennis experiences.
Coveted as one of the most well-known tennis technique instructors today, Nadim is always eager to enhance his knowledge and instruction skills and become the best tennis instructor he can be – for all ages and all levels. “I love to learn – when someone tells you they know it all or act like they do, it’s only downhill from there. Stay curious, listen and always look for new ideas while staying open-minded. Enjoy the process and the result will come, good things will happen and you will achieve your vision”.
