Lindley Arnold is an educator currently living and working in Grand Rapids. His areas of focus include coaching tennis and building positive relationships with children and families. As an educator he enjoys teaching tennis to children and adults. In their pursuit to be the best player and person they can be, Lindley uses his skills from inside and outside of the classroom.

His approach to tennis is: The first lesson he learned in tennis is that “not all talent is distributed equally”. However, with hard work and dedication a person can only be limited by their own constraints.

To help you to be the best tennis player that you can be. I will teach you how to use the correct technique and strokes for each shot. You will learn how to hit the right shot at the right time. While training we will have fun, and play loose and be confident.

Besides working in education, Lindley travels all over the country attending training sessions for tennis skill and coaching improvement. This is done to gain new skills, and techniques from coaching ideas to inspire others.

When not playing or coaching tennis, Lindley enjoys spending time with his wife, daughter and two sons.
