Our role as a Tennis Coach is in my mind to help the Players maximize their potential. Figuring out what they want to improve on, add to their knowledge & develop their games.

Spending time getting to know the person behind the player is crucial to having an environment that is relationship-based. I think you need to be a people’s coach & not only a player’s coach if you want to succeed as a coach.

Coaching is not just about passing on knowledge, but also about facilitating an environment & supporting the development of a strong & resilient character in the person.

If you don’t get to know them, you will have no idea about:

1) What motivates them

2) What inspires them

3) What scares them

Leaving you with close to no chance of maximizing their potential both on & off the court.
