About Coach Kacper

Meet Your Coach: Kacper Niepokoj

Hello! Thanks for stopping by - I'll try not to bore you :)

My relationship with tennis began at 4 years old when my mom put a racket in my hand and dragged me to the local courts. Tennis has been an instrumental part of my life ever since. I was incredibly fortunate to train under world-class coaches, including former world #460 Harel Srugo, former world #1 and seven-time Grand Slam champion Liezel Huber, and legendary coach Tony Huber. These coaches are not only responsible for developing my game and technique as a junior but their wisdom and knowledge heavily influence my coaching style and philosophies.

While I had done some volunteer coaching as a young teen, my official coaching journey began at 16 after a superior labrum tear in my shoulder changed my path. A few months into a largely unsuccessful recovery, a foundation I had played for reached out with a coaching opportunity. Despite initially feeling discontent with the idea of becoming a coach, I discovered a deep fondness for helping others develop their game, and coaching became my second chance at life in tennis (guys, don't get too emotional now).

Coming up on my fifth year as a coach, I've worked with various clubs, foundations, and academies and helped run tennis events for brands like Nike, ON, Wilson, and Lacoste. I'm also PTR-certified and specialize in coaching high-performance juniors and adults—though I have a soft spot for beginners. Whether you're just starting out or competing at a high level, I'm committed to helping players of all backgrounds develop their technique, game strategy, mental toughness, and, most importantly, love for the greatest sport in the world!!!!
