"Tennis has been such a big part of my life since I can remember and I wouldn't change it for the world.  I love my job. I get the most enjoyment out of my job, watching people improve, no matter their standard and seeing the elation on their faces. I have experienced a lot in my tennis career and would like to pass on the knowledge I've gained. I believe learning to play tennis should be centred round a fun environment, so try to balance lessons with both knowledge and fun.  I take pride in being a Tennis Coach and count myself lucky to have to skills to be able to teach others how to enjoy the game as much as I do".  Tracy Smith
