Our son is a performance level player in the top ten for his age-group in the UK. Phil has been his one-to-one coach for about 18 months now. During the time Phil has not only been extremely professional and thorough in his dealings and communication with us but he has also really made a positive difference to our son’s game.

Phil’s tennis knowledge is outstanding but he also really takes the time to understand what motivates our son. He wants to know what our son's challenges are in terms of the technical/physical side of the game but he also recognises that for developing players the mental demands of tennis - dealing with the highs and lows, how to handle losing, how to handle winning, etc - are equally important.

It’a fair to say that Phil is much more than a tennis coach and mentor for our son; he’s also an inspiring role model for players of all ages and abilities because of his own on-court presence, persona and performance, but he’s also a trusted advisor and much-needed source of tennis knowledge and wisdom for parents and guardians of young players.

Phil is a highly experienced coach who brings his enthusiasm and energetic approach to all sessions. Sessions are fun, inspiring, varied and appropriately challenging tackling all aspects of the game. Phil is very supportive and promotes positive attitudes to the sport and each individual’s learning encouraging them to be confident, reflective and self motivating.  1 to 1 lessons are tailored to individuals needs and stage of development and progress under his guidance is evident.
