Marty Carbone began his teaching career back in college, working with young kids at Capital Region Tennis & Fitness. As the years passed, he gained teaching experience at Tri-City Fitness in Latham, as well as teaching clinics for adults at Wolfert’s Roost Country Club in Loudonville, Troy Country Club and Tri-City Guilderland. Upon graduating from Albany Law School, Marty decided that the call of tennis was too strong to turn down. He took a job at Schenectady Racquet & Fitness Club as Tennis Director and Head Tennis Professional from 2003-2006. Marty has been working at Tri-City Fitness part time for two years now, working with kids and adults of all levels. He is a certified instructor with the Professional Tennis Registry.
In addition to teaching, Marty officiates all of the USTA Eastern Junior tournaments at Tri-City. When not on the tennis court, Marty can be found in the courtroom as a full time practicing attorney. He is the founder and managing partner of Carbone & Carbone LLP, Attorneys at Law, with two offices located in North Greenbush and Lake George, NY.
Marty’s teaching philosophy is the same as many others; when the players have fun on the court, they’ll be more adept at learning new strategies and tweaking mechanics. His primary goal is assuring that his students enjoy themselves; he knows that tennis is a lifetime sport, and he does what he can to make sure people want to keep playing. One of Marty’s strengths on the court is explaining why he teaches certain things, rather than asking his students to go on blind faith. “Most players need to understand techniques instead of just hearing them. That’s what makes them strong players mentally.” Marty looks forward to working with all his players on court; his enthusiasm and dedication truly shines at Tri-City Fitness.
