I have been playing padel for around a year and a half, having taken it up when it was first introduced at Redland. With a long background in tennis, I quickly took to the sport.
I began assisting with padel coaching at Redland alongside my tennis coaching and have really enjoyed the unique differences between the two sports.
I am keen to continue developing my coaching skills and look forward to helping introduce padel to even more people in the future.
From competing nationally at a young age in Tennis to having 10 years of coaching experience, I put my skills to Padel and started playing in 2023. After quickly falling in love with the sport, I started coaching later that year and became head coach in 2024.
I have represented Avon in the county championships and also won the consolation event after qualifying to the main draw of the national championships.
I look forward to continuing to introduce the sport to many people.
