Since a young age, I have been deeply immersed in the world of competitive tennis, showcasing my skills and passion on the court at a high level.

Additionally, I have had the privilege of representing both my club and county in various prestigious tournaments and events, emerging victorious in numerous matches, leagues and tournaments. The journey has been filled with challenges and triumphs, each experience shaping me into the player I am today.

Having immersed myself in the world of tennis since the age of 2, I have accumulated an abundance of knowledge about this sport. Over the years, my passion for the game has driven me to comprehend every minute detail, enabling me to distinguish even the slightest inaccuracies in players' techniques and strategies. This profound understanding has not only sharpened my own skills but also granted me a unique perspective that I utilise to analyse and guide others, fostering continuous improvement on and off the court.

My Story
Ever since I was 2 years old, my father took it upon himself to introduce me to the world of tennis. His intention was simple yet profound: he wanted to instil in me a lifelong love for sports. His wise words have stayed with me throughout the years, resonating deeply within my heart. I remember him saying, "There are lots of lessons in sport and tennis which you can take into your work and personal life. For example, with tennis, you get annoyed about certain shots etc and that affects your game going forward, or have the attitude that there's nothing you can do about the previous point but there's something you can do about the next point." My father's guidance continues to inspire me to embrace life's obstacles as opportunities for growth and to always strive for improvement, both on and off the tennis court.
After my father's recent passing, I find comfort in the cherished memories we shared and the invaluable lessons he taught me. One such lesson was the importance of personal growth and pursuing my passions. With his encouragement, I embarked on the first LTA coaching course, and now, in his honour, I am determined to continue the journey and become a coach myself. Each step I take on this path becomes a tribute to his unwavering support and the lasting impact he had on my life. By choosing to name my coaching organisation after him, I ensure that his memory will forever remain alive and vibrant.

I have many regrets in life, but choosing AKC coaching definitely isn’t one of them! I had initial doubts over whether Kayaan would be a suitable coach at only 17 years of age, but my game has improved immediately with his expertise ranging from technique to footwork, and even to mentality when playing tennis. He has highlighted even the smallest errors that were hindering my progress and has opened up a new appreciation for the sport that I hadn’t had before. I would highly recommend Kayaan to anyone looking to see consistent advancements in their performance.
