Why do you love coaching?

What I love about coaching is that it gives me the opportunity to connect with people of all ages and backgrounds and pass on my passion for the sport. 

Why do you love playing tennis?

I love playing tennis because it is so versatile. You can play an intense game of singles where you're invested in every single point, or you can play a social game of doubles with a few mates and catch up. 

Your favourite tennis player and why?

Roger Federer, because of the elegance and ease with which he played, and his attacking style. 

Your favourite shot to coach and why?

The one-handed backhand, it's becoming a rare breed these days and it's nice to keep it alive!  

Your favourite shot to play and why?

My forehand because I'm an aggressive player and I love using it to dominate a rally.
