Coaches

The strength of my coaching business lies in the quality of my coaches.

I am a Tennis Australia Certified Advanced Level Coach. And so is my other full time coach, Helena Walters. For us to keep our certification, Tennis Australia requires that we are on a program of continuous learning, in other words keeping abreast of the latest information about player technique and coaching methods.

All my coaches must attend regular internal workshops where the latest industry information is presented.

I've had more than 20 years coaching experience and was a ranked junior player for Western Australia. Helena Walters joins us from the United Kingdom where she was also ranked as a junior and brings an honours degree in sports management.

My other coaches are Tennis Coaches Australia (TCA) Development coaches who have attained their qualification through rigorous on-court and off-court lessons and examinations. I also have coaches undergoing a traineeship that have completed Tennis West's Orientation to Coaching Course and attended an internal training program.

Coach Traineeship Program

The coach traineeship is part of the Jamie Venerys Tennis Star Program and offers career opportunities for young players. I work with Tennis West and Tennis Coaches Australia to prepare young coaches for accreditation through a mentorship program and paid work experience.

As a course presenter and examiner for the TCA Development and Advanced Level coaching courses, I understand what it takes to make a great coach!
