Meet Michelle

Michelle Okhremchuk

Michelle Okhremchuk is a former National Champion of Ukraine, accomplished Division I NCAA athlete, and internationally trained tennis professional.
She trained at the world-renowned Mouratoglou Academy in France — home to legends like Serena Williams — before bringing her talents to the United States collegiate and professional tennis world.
During her time at the University of Nevada, Michelle not only secured a top NCAA ranking but also set the university’s all-time record for most wins in its history. Before her collegiate success, she held the prestigious #1 ranking in Southern California in the Women’s Open Division.
Today, Michelle is a USPTA-certified coach, recognized as the 2019 USPTA Player of the Year, and continues to work with players of all ages — from first-time juniors to competitive athletes — helping them unlock their full potential both on and off the court.

My Story: From Ukraine to Southern California

Growing up in Ukraine, life was often black and white, with limited opportunities for young athletes.
At just six years old, Michelle fell in love with tennis — and it quickly became her world.
By the age of 12, she was sent to train at a top academy in France, traveling internationally and competing across Europe.
At 17, she made the courageous move to the United States to chase her dream of playing Division I college tennis, eventually building a new life around the sport she loves.
Through years of training, victories, and life abroad, Michelle discovered not just a passion for tennis — but a passion for growth, resilience, and empowering others through sport.

 

Why I Coach?

Tennis changed my life.
It gave me purpose, discipline, confidence — and a way to dream bigger than my circumstances.
Today, my greatest joy is helping young athletes fall in love with the sport just like I did.
But even more importantly, I coach to help players grow beyond tennis — to become confident, resilient, and proud of who they are becoming both on and off the court.
Whether you’re just starting out or reaching for the next level, I’m here to guide you through every serve, every setback, and every breakthrough.
