About Me

I’m passionate about helping people achieve their goals. I started playing tennis at the age of 5 and have honed my skills over the years, both on the court and through coaching others. Outside of sports, I enjoy reading, spending time outdoors, and exploring new experiences. I also love a good comedy—it’s the perfect way to recharge and stay positive.

Testimonial

Training with PJ has been a game changer for my tennis. We started working together in 2016 with the goal to reach a top 50 position in German national rankings, which we achieved in 2023 (#47 DTB). He combines intense, well planned sessions with clear, practical technical instruction that immediately improved my strokes, footwork, and consistency. PJ breaks technique into simple cues, then reinforces them through smart drills and match play. Beyond the physical side, his mental training stands out. He taught routines, focus strategies, and confidence building habits that helped me stay calm under pressure and compete smarter. PJ is professional, motivating, and genuinely invested in his players’ progress. I recommend him to anyone serious about improving at any level of tennis.

Testimonial

I’ve been coached by PJ for nearly 10 years. He has incredible technical knowledge that I’ve found to be better than any coach I’ve had elsewhere in the UK, South Africa and the US. He can easily diagnose what’s wrong and creates effective drills that have helped me continuously improve. Beyond this, he’s an amazing human and personable person that you enjoy being around - making the sessions fun and supportive. Over the years he helped me come back from a long-term injury, trained me for competitive matches and helped me keep my love for the game at a recreational level !! I’m so glad I found PJ and can wholeheartedly say he’s the best coach I’ve had!

Testimonial

We had four lessons with PJ Nomdo in January 2026. PJ is an excellent coach and, even after only four lessons, we feel that our tennis has materially improved. PJ is good at identifying where there are weakness in technique, and explaining what needs to be changed and why. He also provides really helpful explanations of when to play specific shots and how to make decisions in matches. Added to this, PJ keeps sessions interesting and fun - mixing up drills and exercises so that things don't become boring. We couldn't recommend PJ more highly, and can't wait to be back in South Africa to organise more sessions with him

Testimonial

I first met PJ when I was 5 years old and from the moment I stepped on court with him tennis became such a fun and happy sport. I have trained with him for the last 15 years, and was a full time tennis player for 5 of those years. As I began to take tennis more seriously PJs technical skills and strategical knowledge really came to the fore. Tactically he is so smart and he can read the game of tennis better than anyone I have met. He always gives me insightful feedback about my technique, strategy, shot selection and mentality that is very well articulated, allowing me to fully hear it. On top of all this, PJ has an incredible ability to believe in people. He believed in me even when I doubted myself and that support, knowing that your coach is fully behind you, is the most empowering thing. I could always trust that he would help me in any way he could. We travelled to many ITF tournaments together, and he was always professional and committed on tour and was able to create a stable, supportive, growth-orientated environment even when travelling was difficult. I have worked with multiple coaches over the years but the combination of who PJ is as a person along with his incredible coaching ability has made my relationship with PJ the most influential one in my career as a tennis player. PJ is very special individual. He is compassionate, understanding and supportive but he is also diligent, focused and pushes you to improve.
