My dear fellow coaches,
We have worked for more than 20 years at home and abroad as coaches for different tennis associations, as talent scouts, as player development coaches and in the education of many coaches. We have also coached teams, and developed programs for competitive teams and recreational players in clubs. We have learned to deal with officials and parents on a daily basis and are now passing this experience on to members of the Coaches' Club in every detail.
