STEFAN WOOLLEY - HEAD COACH & FOUNDER
I started coaching out of a passion for helping people and seeing their joy from learning something new in a creative way. I love the sense of two-way learning as I am not satisfied until the client is on the right track. I stop at nothing to find a way to make something work for the player and provide conceptual paths to explore tennis with an holistic approach. Involving clients with the tennis community can grow their network and skills at the same time, therefore fast-tracking learning and opportunities. My coaching edge comes from the time I spend watching and analysing my players matches (if wanted), as this scenario is the only realistic outlet to see what actually happens on the court, from there we develop a tennis plan specifically tailored to how they develop their overall game. I have been competing myself since a junior at a high level in tournaments and still train and compete, providing the opportunity of being a hitting partner for players looking at competition and a Pro Career.
