Sam Fecteau
RSPA Elite Tennis Professional
Sam's coaching style is rooted in holistic player development, shaped by over 20 years of experience working with athletes of all skill levels throughout New England and Oregon. With expertise in coaching both able-bodied and wheelchair players, Sam is dedicated to helping every athlete reach their full potential by creating custom lesson plans that emphasize building strong fundamentals and refining technique.
"For me, teaching isn't just about nailing the perfect serve or backhand - it's about watching people grow, build confidence, and fall in love with the game like I have throughout my career. I love seeing my students improve, whether they're beginners just learning the basics or seasoned players sharpening their skills. Being at STSC has provided me with the opportunity to work with Salem's great community of tennis players who are eager to learn and improve their game."
