Days roll into weeks and weeks into months. I am certain i have a great memory for names its just short term. On the main coaching courses i can see upto 300 new coaches a year, how the hell am i supposed to remember all the names! The odd phone call maybe ''hey Andy, i spoke to you on the phone about two months ago''. Ha Ha reminds me when people realise i have served in the army and they ask for Smithy who also served!
Which reminds me, chatting about times of past and generally being nicknamed 'Uncle Albert' due to my vast repertoire of stories from the war, who should ring but the army captain about coaching the army team for Wimbledon. 6 Days work, 4 days coaching the mens and ladies team and 2 days watching them play at Wimbledon. Shall i shall i not, an offer not to be missed and dare i say more work for the PTR with course bookings in the near future.
I have also decided that to work with tour players can be difficult if you are a total unknown as a player and coach. But sometimes it is who you know not what you know and not impossible if you have a reputation in the right place.
Next week takes me to Milton Keynes for a one day kids tennis course, Sutton for day 4 of the pathway course and two days in the office for an onslaught of courses that are up and coming.
As always my web has more added to it and this will continue for you all, but feel free to email if you dont understand anything or want advice.
