At APA, I work with national and international junior tennis players, delivering tailored S&C sessions. I collaborate with tennis coaches and sports medicine experts to design and implement long-term athlete development programmes aligning with APA’s philosophy. My role focuses on fostering a high-performance culture, ensuring that the athletes' physical developments meet the specific demands of tennis.Key Contributions:- Deliver on-court and in-gym interventions to enhance overall athleticism- Adapt training methods to improve the transfer of learning to on-court performance- Collaborate with an MDT to integrate innovative conditioning techniques into the coaching programme

I worked with athletes from Under-9s to Under-18s, using tailored techniques and periodisation strategies to suit each age group. My focus was on tracking performance and managing athlete loading effectively, alongside coaching in one-on-one, small group, and large group sessions.In the in-season, I planned and delivered Strength & Conditioning (S&C) sessions for the Foundation and Youth Development Phases, aligning them with the physical goals of each mesocycle. I aimed to keep sessions engaging while achieving desired outcomes through specific exercises and constraints.In pre-season, I led on-pitch and in-gym S&C for the Under-18s, handling warm-ups, live data analysis, and fitness maintenance. I also learnt to use GPS software to analyse and present data, helping make informed decisions on athlete development and game time.My approach combined performance tracking, load management, and innovative S&C methods to support the long-term development of young athletes.

This experience includes coaching the lecturers and staff in the School of Health and Exercise Science at the University. I also programmed training plans, re-assessing what is best for the individuals' progression after every six weeks.

I coached both the Futsal and Squash University teams through sport-specific/general physical preparation Strength & Conditioning sessions. As well as, taking warm-ups before training sessions and matches.

I coached players from u5s to u15s through skills training. I also gained the FA Level 1 certification after the first year of coaching to become a more confident and proficient coach. I also needed to learn communication skills and manage the relationships with the players, parents and other coaches as this was a family-orientated club, and full involvement was encouraged.
