About Me
I started my tennis journey in the United Kingdom leaving school at 16 to try to make it as a pro tennis player.With no financial support at the time the only way to continue was to head to France and progress as a player on the french money tennis circuit and team matchers in Europe.I did this for around 5 years enjoying tennis and travel.
After a win at a Tournament in Pontivy Brittany I was asked to start coaching some of their players and my coaching career started. I coached in Pontivy and clubs around the area for the next 15 years. I coached both of my children to international level one whos highest ranking was 196 ATP.
I continued to competet in ITF veterans events reaching a world ranking of number 3 and also represented Great Britain at the world team event in Austria in the over 35s.
