Testimonial
I write to provide the highest recommendation for Kimani Henry as a tennis intstructor. I have been taking a weekly four-person clinic from Mr.Henry over the past two winters and he provides insightful feedback and makes the clinic fun for everyone involved. He is a consummate professional. I have been playing tennis for approximately 15 years and have taken lessons and clinics from dozens of instructors over the years. Mr. Henry is among the best, and I recommend him without any reservation. I would be pleased to discuss my experiences with anyone who may have questions.

I am writing to recommend Kim Henry for the position of teaching pro. For two seasons at Century Country Club, I was fortunate enough to work alongside Kim, during which he was very well received by both the members and fellow teaching staff at Century. While at Century, Kim's ability to communicate effective tennis instruction while being personable, friendly and engaging with players of all levels, both young and old, set him apart from average teaching pros. He knows numerous drills for both the individual and groups of players, runs NTRP and is great with kids. Kim has proven to be extremely reliable and dedicated to the improvement of his students. He is soft spoken, excellent with technical analysis and I highly recommend him as an addition to your staff. I am certain that he will be an exceptional member to the teaching staff if hired. For any additional information or questions, please feel free to contact me.
