What do you enjoy most about coaching?
There are many things I enjoy about coaching but the most rewarding would have to be watching the joy and sense of achievement a player gets when they have been taught a new skill and successfully execute it in a match environment. Also, seeing kids who come down to the club once a week for a lesson become completely immersed in the sport and end up at the club every afternoon after school. In a participation sense, there is no better feeling as a coach.
Why should people come to Tennis Approach?
I have spent most of my coaching career working to establish and provide a coaching business that is unmatched in Western Australia, not only producing elite junior players but also offering a pathway for all children and adults to achieve their tennis goals.
In all my years of coaching, I can confirm no two players are the same. Everybody wants something different out of tennis, and Tennis Approach is here to help each player reach his or her individual goal.
What do you enjoy most about coaching?
It's fantastic to see kids developing from the red ball stage of ANZ Hot Shots and gaining the confidence to play pennants for their club. I also love seeing kids enjoying themselves in training and wanting to improve their game.
What do you enjoy most about coaching?
I love teaching the fundamentals of the game of tennis. I also love seeing kids progress and gain confidence on the court after a few terms of coaching, especially the young girls. Tennis is a sport for life so I know what I teach kids now will be useful at some point in their lives, whether it's competitive play, social play or a casual hit with family and friends.
What do you enjoy most about coaching?
I like seeing the children put what they have learnt in training into a competitive match - that is the real gauge of a child's improvement. I also enjoy identifying areas of improvement in a child's game and giving feedback to instantly improve their game.
