Monica Sandberg
Tennis Professional
Coach Monica is a dedicated tennis professional, coach, and founder of Sandberg High Performance Tennis Academy. With extensive experience developing junior and high-performance athletes, Coach Monica is passionate about helping players build not only strong technical and tactical skills, but also confidence, mental toughness, and a growth mindset.
Coach Monica is a PTR/USTA and GPTCA/ATP-certified tennis professional and serves as Head Coach of the Eleanor Roosevelt High School Mustangs tennis program. Through her academy and high school coaching, Monica focuses on movement, consistency, strategy, athletic development, and the mental side of competitive tennis.
For Coach Monica, tennis is about far more than what happens between the lines. She believes the challenges young athletes encounter on the court provide a powerful foundation for life beyond the sport. Learning to recover from mistakes, solve problems under pressure, manage emotions, persevere through adversity, and take ownership of one’s decisions helps young athletes develop resilience and confidence that carries into school, relationships, careers, and everyday life. Most importantly, tennis can teach athletes to find intrinsic validation—learning to measure success by their own preparation, effort, growth, and ability to overcome challenges rather than relying solely on external results or recognition.
The Art of Sports
Coach Monica’s coaching philosophy is simple: great athletes are developed through purposeful training, resilience, and a willingness to learn from every point—and great coaching should ultimately help develop confident, capable young people who are prepared for life as well as competition.
Mastering the Tennis
Coach Monica is the Head Coach of the Eleanor Roosevelt High School Mustangs tennis program. She led the girls’ team to the 2025 League Championship and continues to grow youth tennis in Eastvale. Many of her students have earned high USTA rankings and gone on to play college tennis.
Mentoring Young Athletes
Coach Monica mentors our young athletes on and off the court, helping them build resilience, confidence, and a strong work ethic through tennis. Her coaching goes beyond technique. She guides players to find motivation from within, measuring success by effort and growth rather than trophies alone.
