Jihee Lee - Performance Tennis Coach

Korea

I’ve been coaching Korean High Performance Junior Players in Seoul Korea since June 2021. I have travelled with them over 15 weeks per year, have achieved great results through hard work, dedication and trust.

I have coached & travelled male & female numerous ITF Juniors top 100 & 200 ranked players & who got into Division 1 NCAA in the past few years and won many singles and doubles titles in ITF Juniors events.

My coaching career started in Melbourne Australia in 2017 after playing pro circuit for 10 years. I won national & International singles & doubles titles when I was on tour.
I can speak fluent English and like learning languages.

About Me

I studied Physical Education Development and graduated at Myeongji University in South Korea after that, turned into pro. Played mostly ITF circuit and challenger events. I am still able to have a hit with my players.

I’m committed to my coaching, I’m passionate about my players’ development. I genuinely love working with people, helping them to enjoy, improve their tennis & to be good people.

I love travelling, working out, challenging myself, taking pics and being in the nature. I’m into calisthenics, running and hyrox so have done a few Marathon events and will continue to enjoy my hobbies. 

I’m positive and bright so like to spread good energy to others.

Testimonial

Knowing Jihee personally from the tour. Jihee spoke fluent English and was one of the top coaches to work with me over the last 20 years. She thrived in every area of the development pathway that she worked in from beginner, through to high performance, and Tour level players. I cannot recommend her enough and watching her further improve and develop into one of the leading female international coaches has been a pleasure.
