About Me

Tennis has been a big part of my life from a young age in the Netherlands, and that passion naturally evolved into coaching.

For me, coaching is not just about improving technique, but about building confidence, discipline, and a genuine love for the game.

I enjoy creating positive and structured environments where players feel motivated, supported, and excited to improve every session.

My biggest strength is bringing energy, passion, and enjoyment into coaching because when players enjoy the process, real development happens.

I am open to international opportunities and willing to relocate.

I bring a professional and reliable work ethic, combined with a positive and energetic presence on court. I value discipline, consistency, and clear communication, while always creating an environment where players feel motivated and enjoy the process of improving.

I am always looking to grow, learn, and contribute to a team or academy that shares a long-term vision for player development.

Testimonial

Lawrence has been an incredible tennis coach for both me and my two daughters. I’ve been training with him for about a year through private sessions, and the improvement in my game has been tremendous. He is extremely reliable, dedicated, and patient, and he knows exactly how to adapt his coaching to help you progress while keeping you motivated and confident on court. For my daughters, he has been running group classes over the past year, and they absolutely love them. He makes the sessions fun, engaging, and age-appropriate, while still focusing on proper technique and real improvement. They genuinely look forward to attending, which says a lot. He also adapts to the kids’ personalities and needs which is a great advantage. Lawrence is professional, passionate about what he does, and truly invested in his players’ technical development. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great tennis coach, whether for adults or kids.

Coach Lawrence from GlowUp Tennis has been outstanding with my children. My boys started playing tennis with him over two years ago as complete beginners, and the progress they have made since then has been remarkable. He is very approachable, kind, and professional, while also maintaining strong discipline and structure during training sessions. Coach Lawrence has a great sense of humor, which makes lessons enjoyable, and the boys truly love training with him. I highly recommend Coach Lawrence and GlowUp Tennis to any parents looking for a coach who combines skill development with a positive and supportive environment.

To whom it may concern, I’ve known and worked with Lawrence for 5 years, and have seen him coach and work with players firsthand. I’m happy to recommend him for any tennis coaching position. From building tennis programmes and frameworks for structuring a positive programme. Lawrence is patient, teaches tennis in a fun environment, including cognitive behaviour learning. He is reliable, and great with players of all levels, from children at beginner level, through to high performance. He explains technique clearly and his knowledge of the tactical side of tennis. Within lessons he breaks down complex skills into simple steps, and keeps sessions engaging and safe. He’s punctual, professional, and takes real ownership of his students progress. What stands out most is his attitude to teaching. Positive, encouraging, and creates a learning environment where players feel confident to improve with his knowledge, he's always an asset to any project.

It is my pleasure to recommend Lawrence, who has worked with us at Kahli Tennis Academy. During his time with the academy, he consistently demonstrated an outstanding work ethic, a genuine passion for tennis and coaching, and exceptional reliability. He built excellent relationships with our players and was equally popular with children, adults, beginners, and advanced players alike. His positive attitude, professionalism, and enthusiasm made him a valued member of the coaching team whenever he was with us. The only reason we were unable to offer him a permanent position was due to work permit restrictions. Had this not been an issue, we would have welcomed him to our full-time coaching team without hesitation. I have no hesitation in recommending Lawrence to any organisation looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and dependable tennis coach. I am confident he will be an asset to any coaching programme.
