Woody

Where are you from?

Born Sydney, New South Wales, grew up in the Blue Mountains NSW and Albany WA.

What sort of coach are you?

Fun, active and enthusiastic coach who enjoys seeing his client work hard, learn and play well.

Why do you coach?

It’s fun, I get to work outside (mostly), stay fit, I think I’m good at it. I get great pleasure in seeing people improve and enjoy the game.

Most memorable moment/s from your coaching so far

Many Darcy Slater/Foundation cups wins, many player tournament wins, seeing a few play in the nationals at Melbourne park, many players received scholarships for US College. I really enjoy when a kid/adult plays their first match, whether that be a hotshots match, pennants match or first tournament match. Seeing and helping that player learn, improve and test themselves is still very rewarding.

Favourite tennis player/s?

Nadal, Barty, Kyrigos, Federer, and I liked Stefan Edberg growing up.
