Head Coach Donna West- LTA Level 3 Accredited Plus

 

I am passionate about tennis and I have been playing for 25 years.  I coach social and competitive tennis including mini tennis, junior, adult and 1 to 1’s.

I am LTA level 3 and RPT qualified and have Level 1 RPT in Mental Toughness enabling me to teach the full range of technical, tactical, movement and mental aspects of the game.

I have attended training camps at the Rafa Nadal Academy in Mallorca each year since it opened in 2016.  In the UK training has included ‘The Tennis For Kids’ initiative, working alongside Leon Smith the Davis Cup Captain..  I have also trained with Judy Murray on several occasions for the ‘Miss Hits’ and ‘She Rallies’ campaigns to introduce more girls into the sport and more recently  I was chosen by the LTA to help deliver the Prime Video LTA Youth Girls Programme.

My favourite player is of course Rafa Nadal whose focus on the ‘next point’ has helped him achieve world No 1.
