Testimonials

An Essential Tennis Reference!

"As Tennis Coaches it is a constant battle to come up with and invent new training drills and exercises to keep our players interested and eager to learn.  Having used the Global Sports Coaching manual over the past 6 months I have found it an essential reference when planning weekly lessons.  It is a great coaching tool to have at hand, and as a coach I am constantly referring to it on a weekly basis."

Tracey Burrus, LTA CCA Coach South Leeds Tennis Centre, UK

Ideal for planning My PE Lessons!

"Dealing with young children in a school environment can be very challenging especially when taking them for sports activities some of which you may not be familiar with.  After buying the Global Sports Tennis Coaching Manual I have found the games and drills in the mini tennis section ideal for planning my P.E lessons, they are very clear and easy to follow and consequently my kids at school are loving tennis."

Alex McCunnall,  Primary School Teacher Caldew-lee Junior School,  Carlisle, England

Fantastic Tennis Resource!

"The GSC coaching and fitness manuals have been a fantastic resource to my lesson plans and overall coaching. The manuals have aided me to keep my lessons fresh and interesting, as the manuals provide hundreds of new and innovative drills. Not only has it been a great resource for myself, but also for the coaches assisting me, as well as the coaches starting out. These manuals have been a worthwhile investment that I would recommend to all coaches"

Steph Collis, TCA Development Coach Head Coach Orrong Park Tennis Centre  Melbourne Australia
