About Me
My Experience, My Passion
My passion is tennis. Both my parents were players and professional tennis coaches (I grew up at the Hawker Tennis Centre in Canberra and started coaching at age 14).
My family has a long history of playing and coaching tennis. My father was recently inducted into the ACT Tennis Hall of Fame, whilst my brother has a distinguished coaching career and has recently been appointed as Head Coach of the Tennis Australia National Tennis Academy in Brisbane.
My mission since I started coaching in the ACT back in 2004 has been to ensure that we have a world class training environment to rival any international academy, right here in Canberra.
I have proven over my time at the ACT National academy, that players don't need to go anywhere else through their junior development years to become world class players.
Over the past 16 years I have helped many aspiring elite junior tennis players develop their games and reach their goals of playing US College and professional tennis.
I believe the passion and love of the sport combined with hard work and a great training environment is the key to any player reaching their full potential.

Private Lessons
$80/hour
OR
$90/1.5 hours (between the hours of 9am and 3pm Monday to Friday)
Private lessons focus on an athlete's individual priorities including
technical development, development of weapons, improvement of movement patterns, consistency drilling, tactical and game style improvement, and mental toughness development.
Small group sessions
$80 per person (2 players per session, 2 hours duration).
$60 per person (2 players, 1.5 hours duration)
Small group sessions are critical to an elite tennis players development and often an overlooked part of training as many coaches either deliver private lessons or large generic squad group training. Obtain individual attention whilst focusing on intense drilling and point play during these sessions.
"Improvement in tennis comes rapidly when passion and effort from both coaches and players combine with a great training environment. The players who improve the quickest are the ones who have the right balance of training and volume within their week, consisting of high quality private and small group sessions as well as matchplay and squad training."
