COACH

Why do you love coaching?

I love coaching because I love seeing the students become so passionate about something that is so good for them.

Why do you love playing tennis?

I love tennis because it is such an inclusive sport that I am always so excited to play with any of my friends, as you can play at any level! It brings people together but also pushes them to be better, and I think that’s really important in sport.

Your favourite tennis player and why?

My favourite tennis player is Alexei Popyrin - his Adelaide international match interview will forever be my favourite due to the pure emotion he showed.

Your favourite shot to coach and why?

My favourite shot to coach is definitely a forehand, as I feel like once this skill has been learnt one can then rally with friends which makes someone more excited to play.

Your favourite shot to play and why?

My favourite shot to play is also a forehand because I find there are so many options with how I want to play it.
