G’Day, I’m Tom,

I am 18 years old, recently completed high school and I am a passionate sportsman. My particular favourites are tennis, soccer, surfing and golf. I have been playing tennis since I was 5 and have been playing at a competitive level since I was 10. It is safe to say I like to stay busy and whenever I am not playing tennis you will probably find me at the beach, searching for some waves.

I love tennis because it is mentally and physically challenging. You can be creative due to all the different shots you can play. It is a game that never gets boring as no shot is the same, no opponent is the same and even the weather can play a part.

My favourite part of coaching is seeing players develop in as little time as possibles their half hour lessons, and seeing them turn up week in and week out excited to hit the court for their weekly lesson. As a coach I like to pick weaknesses in a students game and target these areas to optimise their performance.
