Scanlan provides a passionate and individual approach to each Tennis player he works with. "More importantly than winning Tennis, I focus on successful Tennis. Are you improving as a player, are you becoming a better person because of the work you put in on the court? If we can answer yes to these questions, we are successful in our training and coaching, and you will be successful on the court!"

Scanlan has amassed over ten years of coaching experience amongst Tennis clubs in Wisconsin and the Chicagoland area.
