21.01.2022 * * * Congrats to these two passionate tennis lovers who absolutely nailed their Coaching session this avo! *... Not only did their Serves and Groundstrokes improve with repetition and drills focusing on acceleration, power and timing - but also our awareness and acceptance about #SocialDistancing - and our flexibility to change our court venue to outside after our local Rec Centre was closed x #WhatAGorgeousAvo #WeHadSoMuchFun * Its times like this where kindness, acceptance and flexibility really are important in all areas of life x *** { Please note everyone was prepped about infection control, followed the updated Tennis Australia Guidelines of COVID19 Continued Play, were 1.5 metres apart, applied hand sanitiser before, during and after } *** Did you know ... * The current coach membership stats in Australia show that only approximately 30% of our coaches are female and many players have never had the opportunity to be coached by a female Coach. .. Thankfully this % is growing each year for a few positive reasons: *Tennis Australia is increasing investment in female coaching participation, increasing opportunities for females to start out their coaching career and to further develop into a full-time career coach. *All Women’s Community Coaching Course. *Women’s President Scholarships . *Female Networking Opportunities and Workshops. *Role Models and Mentors: *Our Australian Fed Cup Team playing in the Final last year. *Professional players like Ash Barty leading the way. *Local Club Coaches inspiring their female students to get into coaching. *Education Opportunity to grow, develop and become the best coach you can be. How wonderful that this 30% continues to increase every year x I was sooooo fortunate to have a female Tennis Coach growing up rurally in the 90s. She was inspiring and truly the catalyst for myself wanting to be a Tennis Coach. Thank you Alison Kirk for passing on your love of Coaching to me and showing me from an early age that I could achieve this dream x #17YearsAsATennisCoach Happy Tennis-ing Everyone Megan * * #ILoveTennis #MeganHenryTennisCoach #TennisCoach #TennisLife #TennisCoaching #TennisWest #TennisWA #TennisIsEverything #TennisInstructor #SoMuchFun #RuralTennis #Fitness #Fun #TATennisCoach #TennisAustralia #CardioTennis #KidsTennis #OneOnOneCoaching #TennisAddict #TennisAddiction #TennisForLife #Tennis #PrivateCoaching #WomenInTennis #WomenInCoaching #PrivateTennisLessons

09.01.2022 Another Day Another Tennis Update x Stay Safe Everyone x ...

We know our community loves our sport and that many people are looking for ways to remain fit and active whilst adhering to very strict social distancing guidelines. We are also acutely aware that this directive will impact the livelihood of our valued tennis coaches. However, this is a government mandate, and needs to be strictly adhered to by our tennis community. Tennis West staff are working remotely to limit contact but are all still available to support you through this challenge: Information and resources to support coaches will be sent to all Tennis Australia Coach Members individually and our Coach Development Manager, Sheridan Adams is available when required. Your Tennis West representative is available for Clubs and will remain in contact as we try and work our way through this together. Contact details are attached.

06.01.2022 * { LOW IMPACT } * As a Tennis Coach for 16 years, I've had quite a few people ask over the years: 'Can I play tennis with an old injury?' ... *... Its a great question to consider- so here's my honest answer... * Tennis not only increases bone density, lowers body fat, improves muscle tone, strength, flexibility & social connection ... but it is also ..... LOW IMPACT This means tennis is gentle on our precious bodies while being suitable for all fitness levels and all ages x Here's an honest snapshot of my tennis body and the 'old injuries' it has somehow collected over the years of 'wear and tear' by playing other high impact sports 1. Aneurysm repair x 2. 2. Fractured left wrist x 2. I had to do it a 2nd time just to check if I did it right the 1st time 3. Left Hip Labral tear + Torn Adductor muscle 4. Left fractured ankle and torn tendons. ( Needing ankle stabilisation surgery - but who really has time for a moonboot for 12 weeks - I'll get to that one day ) 5. Fractured Coccyx bone. When I literally fell and broke my bum. 6. Complete clean break of the left humerus bone. Took 12months to heal. Despite the above - tennis is really gentle on our bodies....x Tennis has even strengthened my bone density Sooooo if you are carrying a few old injuries like me, or happen to be perfectly fit, moderately fit or just wanting to sweat and laugh to fabulous music ...then tennis is for you as it is seriously gentle on the body x Tennis is a whole body work out that is proven to increase your life expectancy and is also a great way to socialise, meet new people and learn new skills! #ILoveTennis #MeganHenryTennisCoach #TennisCoach #TennisLife #TennisCoaching #TennisWest #TennisWA #TennisIsEverything #TennisInstructor #SoMuchFun #BushTennis #RuralTennis #TennisAustralia #CardioTennis #OneOnOneCoaching #TennisAddict #TennisAddiction #TennisForLife #Tennis #Winter #WinterTennis #PrivateCoaching #PrivateTennisLessons
