What Makes A Good Tennis
Coach?
There are many factors to consider when choosing a good tennis coach.
Quaifications
It is always ideal to go for someone who is qualified rather than self-taught tennis coaches.
Hence we recommend that the coach must have at least an STA level 1 coaching certification.
Experience
Qualifications can be acquired, what you learn out on the court is much more practical. Choose a
coach that has at least 10 years and during this period, they must ne actively coaching people in
tennis.
Rapport
Finally, what will matter is the communication and rapport you have with your tennis coach. It
is very important to be comfortable with your coach. Some of the things to consider are-
- their personality
- communication skills
- character (patient and understanding)
- are they motivating?
- are they keen observers of your techniques?
- do they provide you valuable tips?
