Zack Lahmar
Zack brings more than 20 years of experience in tennis coaching, player development, and athletic performance, and we’re thrilled to have someone with his background joining our tennis community.
Zack works with players of all levels. Whether you’re a junior looking to develop your game, an adult looking to play better and have more fun on the court, or a competitive player looking to take your tennis to the next level, Zack brings a wealth of experience and a very player-focused approach to his coaching.
Tennis has been a huge part of Zack’s life for more than two decades. Before becoming a coach, he was a professional player and a member of the Swedish Tennis Federation Team. He went on to play college tennis at the University of South Alabama, where he served as team captain while earning both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Exercise Physiology.
Over the years, Zack has had the opportunity to work with players of all ages and abilities—from juniors and recreational adults to nationally and internationally competitive athletes. While coaching and working in strength and conditioning at Saddlebrook Resort in Florida, he worked with ATP and WTA professionals including James Blake, Mardy Fish, and Jennifer Capriati.
Zack has also spent much of his career building and leading tennis and performance programs in Fairfield County, including serving as Director of Tennis at Darien Tennis Club, Director of Sports at INTENSITY Fitness and Tennis Club, and Director of Racquets at Trump National Golf Club.
His coaching philosophy is centered around helping players understand how to play the game—not just how to hit the ball. He combines sound technique with smart shot selection, movement, fitness, and a high-percentage approach to tennis, while adapting his coaching style to the individual player.
Please join us in welcoming Zack to the team. We’re excited for you to meet him and experience his coaching firsthand!
