Find a Tennis Coach
How do you find a tennis coach? On this page you will find information about where and what to look for in a tennis pro along with bios of the Bath & Racquet Fitness Club tennis instructors.
You should know why you want to take lessons. The more you can tell the pro the more he can help your game. Do want to beat one of the Jones's. Do you want to have more fun. Do you want to learn how to play doubles better? Do you get frustrated serving? The more specific you be, the more help you find a tennis coach that is right for you.You should tell your tennis instructor your level of commitment to improvement. Are you willing to lose to everyone you play for six months while you change your backhand stroke to move up a level. Are do you want your coach to tweak what you do for improvements. Remember Tiger Woods has changed his swing or stroke twice since becoming a professional and stank for 6 months. Must tennis pros are associated with a tennis club. There are independent tennis pro's but they are difficult to find. At the Bath & Racquet Fitness Club you will find that we have 5 instructors on staff to choose from. The first place I would look to find a tennis coach would be a large club with an established reputation. If possible I would want to meet the tennis professional to see if I liked them. It is your money you should have fun.
