Over February, March and April, with the help of JHMT, I will be attending my level 2 tennis coaching course at Loughborough University.

The tennis coaching courses are designed to get people into coaching and require you to do voluntary work at your club to gain experience that will help you with coaching in the future. I have already completed my level 1 course, and I can't wait to start the level 2, which is longer, more in-depth, and will give me more coaching opportunities once I have achieved it.

The reason I am keen to start coaching is because I would like to help inspire others to play tennis and be a positive female role model. Over the years I have played tennis it has been very difficult to find role models that I look up to, so I would love to help change that.

The level 2 coaching course is a bigger investment than the level 1 and without JHMT's vital support with an Inspire grant I wouldn't have been able to do it. Thank you!
