Coaching services
My freelance coaching services include
individual and group tuition to children, juniors and adults from
beginner to upper-intermediate level.
I coach in north and north west London, conducting lessons
at venues in Highgate and Kilburn.
My coaching methodology has developed through observing
a variety of approaches used by the experienced coaches
I've been fortunate to work with. Recognising that players
have different requirements and learn in different ways,
I've become well-practised in a number of methods that
enable me to provide flexibility in my coaching and avoid
a one-way-fits-all approach.
Regardless of the method used, my aim is to develop the
technical, tactical, physical and mental aspects of players’
games. With beginners I focus on the basics of stroke development
and movement through structured drills. As players develop
I help build confidence at the net and introduce tactical
aspects. For more experienced players I identify and focus
on specific areas for improvement.
While I emphasise the importance of finding time to play outside lessons, I try to ensure players have the opportunity during lessons to practise what we've worked on in competitive points-based situations.
