Watch a video of Chris Tucker, May's AEGON Coach of the Month as he receives his award from Simon Jones.
Tennis coach Chris Tucker has been presented with May’s AEGON Coach of the Month Award in recognition of all his work with junior performance players.
Chris, who coaches as Elstead Tennis Club, has spent the last month training players who have been competing in grade 3 and grade 2 tournaments and has travelled around the south watching each individual to help support and improve their future development. Before each match, Chris spends a lot of time and effort to prepare each player to ensure each player had every chance of doing well.
One of Chris’ students, Harry Rock, has just been awarded matrix funding from the LTA, which is a huge achievement for both player and coach. Chris has worked with Harry from a young age and has developed him into a fine tennis player. Chris’ high level of performance coaching and support has given Harry the opportunity to play at this level.
Ben Matthews who works with Chris said: “His hard work and preparation has given all his players a good start to the summer term and hopefully these players will keep performing to their highest standing.”
