Wan Rahman
I am a tennis coach with 30 years experience from Malaysia seeking for a better opportunity elsewhere. Being involved in the tennis business for many years, I have learned a great deal about life itself. Tennis is so much about problem-solving, and working things out for yourself and thinking things through, and being able to understand what’s going on on your side of the net, but on the other side of the court as well.

In tennis you really need to think quickly and act quickly, so decision-making is such a huge part of it. Being a tennis coach helps me create a bond between players and make them understand that they have to take responsibility for themselves.
Travelling to places like Europe, South East Asia, Australia and America has helped me understand about different cultures. Apart from introducing good techniques there are more to it than just plain instructing. Students from all walks of life come with different range of abilities and mindsets and you have to improvise. That makes me unique in terms of my presentation.
I have based here in Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia for last 15 years or so and few years ago propelled our National juniors to victory during the ITF Development Fund team.

Testimonial
Coach Wan. My tennis coach for the past one and a half year. He's taught me many techniques like topspin, backspin and serve. He might be a little rough at times, but generally he has good intentions. He improved my game by giving me tips such as timing shots and positioning. Although he taught me many techniques, he prioritizes on the fundamentals which I had difficulty with, for some time. Without his coaching, my skills wouldn't be as refined as it is today. -Ian-
