DREAM . PLAN . ACT
The journey starts here, from humble beginnings with high ambitions, NH Coaching wants everyone from all backgrounds to find tennis, after all, it is a sport for everyone and a sport for life!
It started as a dream, a career in Tennis was always in the script, hitting against the wall outside my house for endless hours, playing points, matches, even celebrating with the imaginary crowds, yes it annoyed the neighbours at times, but it became obsessive, relentless, the sport taught me the value of discipline, dedication and hard work. Ultimately, I would always lose to the most consistent player in history, the wall!
Helping others is in my D.N.A. so it's only natural that coaching and I would find each other. It's a journey, one that is demanding, yet highly rewarding, it gives back what you give to it. The plan is to put tennis on the map for people who thought it might not be accessible to them. I wasn't afforded all the opportunities to pursue tennis to the fullest as a player, the reality is that not many are. But that shouldn't stop you from playing it, doing your best and seeing where it may take you!
Giving people a chance starts in the community, in schools, clubs, and parks. It can be played anywhere, granted you'll need a racket, a ball and some space, but with a bit of imagination, you can have some fun. Inspiring the next generation by introducing them to tennis, being a role model, whilst also allowing them to discover and embrace their own style in one of the best sports in the world is the mission.
