Caroline Care - AEGON Coach of the Month
Caroline Care from Haddenham Tennis Club has won the AEGON Coach of the Month Award for August 2012.
At her club Caroline has shown a consistent increase in the number of juniors she has started on the competitive pathway.
During the last 12 months she has grown the number of junior players, who compete regularly, at Haddenham Tennis Club from 6 to 61.
Her methods are a really good demonstration of how the introduction of competitive play to the coaching programme can see results.
Caroline is driven to ensure the numbers of children on her programme increase and that they all have the chance to play competitive tennis. She has been extremely well supported by the club committee.
This year she also stepped in to take over the captaincy of the 12U Buckinghamshoire Girls' County Team and the Lionel Cox 11U/12U teams at short notice.
With Caroline at the helm the County team finished as runners up and the Lionel Cox Team, with the 11U's coming first in their event, were second overall in the competition.
