Tennis Teaching Essentials Course

I am always asked when do you rest?

Well my roles within the Professional Tennis Registry are as follows:-
Full time tutor
International Tester
Plan the whole calender year of courses
Write the education course programmes
Book all the courts for these courses at a bargain price
Lecturer
Bit part office worker

Funny enough most court bookings for these are completed through the medium of no other than Facebook! so much more easier than fighting through receptions and leaving messages.

When i get into the office its busy, but generally my work ensures a huge amount of road mileage and this tax year is no let up with 22,000 racked up.

For my umpteenth course this year already the PTR Tennis Teaching Essentials course gives potential coaches the ability to organise well, communicate well and demonstrate well. In 4 days you get to work on teaching lessons, running drills, detecting and fixing errors in core strokes, working on 21 demonstration strokes along with simple progressions on how to teach these and finally gaining knowledge to ensure you can excel in the written assessment.

David Lloyd Enfield, always a great venue, bar the road works on the road to hell was a mix of nationalities. Sweden, Croatia, New Zealand, Ghana, Ireland, Czechoslovakia and of course England sent candidates from each country. Including the once WTA Number 17!

Early starts is always key to beat the traffic although you can guarantee an accident at 05.30 in the morning doesn't help matters and it turns out 4 diversions in 4 days had to be taken into account.

Bristol was the week after and yet another David Lloyd Centre. At least the accomodation was only 10 minutes away from the centre and slap in the middle of town! The good thing about stay away is i can get on with writing more courses or working on projects, as well as catching up with some good friends from that side of the world. Good Friday was a good test day and i managed to leave the centre at 2pm for the long journey back to Essex. All was good until reaching the damn M25 whereby another car fight in the roadworks led to a two hour delay. Still could have been worse i guess!
