“It was a hot and sunny mid-morning when, after having found some balls in the surrounding bushes, I picked up a plank of wood and started to paddle away at the practice wall. I had been at if for four hours before realizing that I was late and my mum was gonna have my tush for it. There and then my love for tennis had begun. This same beautiful game would take me to over 15 countries around the world as I gathered tremendous experience and exposure as both a player and aspiring teacher. I never thought I would find myself in a northern country, blessed with 4 beautiful seasons. Here in the land of snow, ducks, ice and beavers, I am still enjoying my true calling of teaching tennis amongst exceptional teachers, sharing their love of wisdom and learning.
