... just a quick thank you for all your hard work throughout this great course. You have been an inspiration to the group with your excellent coach-education methods. When I met you over a year ago I basically did not have a clue about coaching tennis! Now I feel on top of the world when coaching tennis to people. You have guided me through 2 LTA levels with patience and a belief in me, ... this course has been my source of sanity and I thank you...from the bottom of my heart.
