COACH

Why do you love coaching?

I love coaching tennis because it allows me to share my passion for the sport whilst helping others develop skills, confidence, and love for the game. It gives me the opportunity to collaborate with like-minded people who share the same enthusiasm for the sport, creating a positive and motivating environment. 

Why do you love playing tennis?

I love playing tennis because it has provided me with incredible opportunities to travel, compete around the country, and meet lifelong friends who share my passion for the sport. It has also taught me valuable skills such as discipline and problem-solving, which I carry with me both on and off the court. 

Your favourite tennis player and why?

Nick Kyrgios is my favourite tennis player because of his unique style, raw talent, and unpredictable nature of the court, making every match super exciting to watch.

Your favourite shot to coach and why?

Teaching volleys in tennis is my favourite skill to coach because it combines quick reflexes, precision, positioning, allowing players to take control of the net and finish points off with confidence.

Your favourite shot to play and why?

My backhand is my favourite shot to hit in tennis because it feels like the most natural and powerful swing for me, allowing me to control rallies and create angles that keep my opponents defensive.
