AboutDavid
I started playing tennis at the age of 8 and since have had a passion for the sport. I am committed to promoting the game with the goal to inspire and improve each player to reach his or her full potential.
I am now coaching in Southend-On-Sea at various locations with previous positions at Stonards Hill Tennis Courts in 2020 and Epping Tennis Club, and successful school outreach programmes in both Essex and at the All England Tennis Club in Wimbledon.
Currently an LTA Level Four Senior Club Club Coach.
I also have extensive player training including:

- ITF Junior Quarter Finalist Hawaii 2008; Quarter Finalist Bermuda 2008; “Road to Wimbledon” national competition Finalist 2005; - Third in Sunday Telegraph Junior Grand Prix national Finals, La Manga, 2005. - Essex Captain under 16 and under 18; Essex number one Junior player , under 12 and 14 and under 16; Top Ten UK Junior under 14; Winner Essex Closed ages 12 and 14
My attitude to competition is both physical and mental - you can't control whether you win or lose but you can control how much effort you give.
