Masato Perera Harvard Men’s Tennis
"Stefan has trained me since my freshman year of high school, elevating my game to the next level. He identified areas where I struggled and tailored my training to address them. He helped me refine my technique and add physicality to my game while through the TAO philosophy he helped me developed a positive yet competitive mindset."

"When it comes to strokes, players have a wide variety of grips and swings, but at the highest level, all players compete well under pressure and move efficiently. Stefan has an exceptional knowledge of biomechanics and movement patterns, and in just a few sessions with him, he helped me understand and implement several new techniques to get to the ball quicker and transfer my weight more effectively. His clear explanations and progression strategies made it extremely easy to adapt to the new patterns. Futhermore, Stefan has spent years exploring, in his own tennis and life in general, what it means to be mentally resilient and how to enter the flow state. His expertise in this area is a extremely valuable, as mastering the mental aspects of the game (patience, resilience, confidence under pressure etc.) is the only way to maximize our potential and enjoy the journey to the fullest."

"Stefan has been key to bringing my game to the next level. I began working with him over 5 years ago at a time when my base game needed improving. Stefan introduced focused drills and off-court training into my daily routine, and these elements greatly improved my consistency and point construction. Additionally, under his guidance, I have been able to significantly increase my ranking and tournament success. I also attribute this success to his TAO philosophy in bringing forth a great mental game that transitions well to competition.”

Sam Rappaport UCSB Men’s Tennis
"Training with Stefan’s TAO philosophy has been an extremely transformative experience as it relates to both my life on and off the tennis court. The TAO Training Philosophy takes a holistic approach, incorporating yoga, meditation, breath work, cold exposure and spiritual practice. This blend not only fostered technical improvements but also aided in my mental clarity and overall resilience. On the court, Stefan emphasizes fluidity, simplicity, and movement in harmony with the body. For anyone seeking a profoundly different, deeply spiritual, and highly effective way to approach tennis or life, TAO Training is the path to success."

"Being introduced to the TAO philosophy at the age of 16 changed my life. It taught me how to compartmentalize my training, connecting my body and mind with nature, changing my diet to allow me to feel at my best, and overall making me a more driven, fulfilled athlete. TAO fitness training truly pushes me to my limit, revealing physical and mental prominence that I never even knew I could achieve."
