About Matt
I developed a passion for tennis from a
very young age. Being talented in ball sports, tennis was a natural
progression, and this lead into coaching. I gained valuable experience
and qualifications both in New Zealand and at coaching programmes in
Switzerland, Brazil, Florida and later in Portugal .
Today, I manage a successful coaching
business in East Auckland, where I hold the position of Head Coach at the Howick Tennis Club. My coaching practice extends to other clubs and
schools in Auckland and I have recently employed the services of
assistant and guest coaches from overseas.
I am conscientious and dedicated to
developing my coaching skills to better respond to the needs of a
diverse range of clients from gifted to challenged. During the winter
months, I like to travel abroad to gain fresh insights and contacts to
bring back to my coaching programmes.

Matt's coaching style is...
- Enthusiastic but patient
- Technical & empowering
- Competitive, strategy and performance driven
