A bit of information about Martin.
I've always loved tennis but only started seriously playing at university after some talented friends were a player short for their team. I quickly realised that I'm a much better coach than a player and have enjoyed helping players of all abilities to improve their game ever since! Back in South Africa I started a performance academy and an outreach introduction-to-tennis program in the rural Western Cape. After moving to New Zealand I lay low for almost 10 years settling the family into our new home before being roped in to coaching again in the beautiful Kapiti Coast, and loving every moment I can devote to it!
