Konrad Ryba
Teaching Professional
I have played tennis my whole life, starting more seriously around age 9-10 where I began playing USTA tournaments and training with many of the best coaches in the Midwest. I played positions 1-2 on my varsity high school tennis team, and began coaching clinics and private lessons during my junior and senior years of high school. During college summers, I worked as a coach at Five Seasons Sports Club in Northbrook, IL, where I gave hitting lessons and managed junior tournaments for up and coming players. When I moved to Urbana, IL, I began working as a coach at Atkins Tennis Center at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, and frequently ran tennis clinics, gave private lessons, managed tournaments, and even strung tennis rackets for players in my down time. Before I moved to Boston in 2017 I was also a hit-in coach for clinics at the Glenview Tennis Club (IL) for some top juniors, and got the opportunity to play with ATP pros with career-high rankings as high as the 300s. I have always loved tennis and look forward to being a part of the team!
