Catch up

Wow times flies when you are busy.
Since we last spoke i have been busy with the coaching and continually setting up new ideas and programmes. Adding schools and more importantly preparing schools to continue in September.

Remember this helps to build the club up from the ground up and from here you can start to bring the parents into the tennis equation. I have entered the Frinton Vets Grass Court Tournament and my training began a few months back. 4 Sets a week, 2 on court workouts and 2 five mile bike rides. Not forgetting a Sainsbury look alike trolley load of balls to serve each day.

With over 15 hours of hitting in lessons a week i am feeling confident which is vitally important. This key ingredient is of some importance when playing matches. You have to prepare yourself and know you are not week in any particular area when you enter the arena.

When i practice i try to just zone in on one key aspect of each shot, forehands maybe the footwork, backhands the space between body and racket, Serve the takeback......i think you get the picture.

A few weeks from now i shoot to West London to coach the Army Team ready for the Inter-sevices at Wimbledon. In the meantime, i am on the lookout for another tennis coach to work alongside me in September having built an adequate business already and also on the look out for young talent to work with in my potential performance programme.
