Hi! I'm Marisa Johnson

Welcome To Rip It Tennis!

My mission is to help you become the best version of yourself on and off the court! We start with fitness, footwork and gaining your confidence as a player.


You can grab your free 7 day footwork challenge here and stay up to date on the latest courses and coaching:

Tennis + Fitness Courses:

SkipFit Tennis Program is a workout plan designed to help you gain speed, tone up, build power, and improve endurance. With these short but effective 10-30 minute workouts, you'll feel and see the results in 28 days or less 🙌

HotShot Technique Enhancing Course is like having a coach in your pocket. This video library breaks down the serve, forehand, backhand and volley technique, giving you a drill progression plan to master each stroke.

A Little About Me:

Tennis was my life... that is until life hit me hard with a series of unfortunate events. Let me explain:

I started competing at age 10 (wasn't very good 😂 but loved it too much to stop). I built my ranking in NC enough to play college tennis at BYU-Hawaii. That's where I met my husband and got married.

After college I found myself in a slump and that is when I first had to rediscover my love for tennis and love for my health/body. It was the first time I truly discovered a nutritous diet and the wonderful world of strength training. Which is how I differentiated myself as a tennis coach and decided to focus on the footwork/fitness aspect of the sport.

I also really love business and creating, and after college I worked on a series of courses to help you imrpove your game! But then the craziest thing happened.... I got pregnant! And this is where the adversity hit me.


When my son was born he was diagnosed (on his birthday) with congenital heart disease. To our dismay, this is a life limiting condition. He has 3 rare heart defects and has to endure multiple open heart surgeries.


We were inpatient for 204 days after I gave birth before we finally made it home. And living in this survival mode for so long left me with a lot of anxiety and depression.


But there is good news! My son is safe, healthy and well 🤗 And I used my trials to grow. I chose to do the inner work so I could find my peace and I further certified in the methodologies I used so I can help others as well!


All of my learnings are coming in full circle as I come back to the courts and help other's believe in their abilities, with a deeper focus on mindset and physical wellness.


As I continue to grow I will always be sharing and I'm excited to see what more I create to help you in all aspects of your life!


Thank you for being here! I truly appreciate your love and support ❤️
