Carl Thorsen, Lead Performance Coach - North East, USPTA Pro

Carl Thorsen works as a Lead Performance Coach for the 360Tennis Group in the Tri-State area. Using his understanding of the 360 Tennis Philosophy, he both consults and strategizes with Lee Hurst on the direction of many of the top Sectional and National players he currently trains, through video analysis and constant communication.

As a Player, Carl worked with Lee, his coach, from February 2003-October 2005. Within this time he went from playing 6th singles for Cornell University to achieving a ranking of 1100 ATP in singles and 600 ATP in doubles. Having this experience as a competitor allows Carl to convey knowledge about tennis, the tactics involved, and the mental strength needed to achieve peak performance.

As a coach, Carl has worked for 360 Tennis full time for the past 3 years. Here, he aims to help the athletes reach their full potential as both people and competitors. To achieve this, a variety of small yet challenging group and private lessons are utilized to give the athletes a better awareness of their strengths and weaknesses. Teaching them how to be organized and goal oriented helps the athletes take this awareness and apply it properly so that they may improve and eventually compete at their best.
