Nicknames

Ced, Coach Cédrick

Where are you from?

I’m from Guadeloupe, a small island in the Caribbean

What sort of coach are you?

A trainer who is calm, honest and passionate about tennis and the players, who is constantly looking for ways to help both on and off the court, as a person and to enjoy the game.

Why do you coach?

I was lucky enough to meet a coach who had human values that matched my own and incredible leadership. He was a coach who kept his word, respected his commitments and took responsibility. That made me want to become a coach when I saw the impact it could have on a player and those around him.

Most memorable moment/s from your coaching so far

I had many memorable moments:

1. Parents thanking me after their child had rediscovered the desire to play tennis.
2. When players have progressed to fulfil their dream of playing tennis in the US and studying at the same time.
3. A player’s first victory in an ITF $15,000 event, starting from the qualifying draw.
