Donna Andrews has won the October Aegon Coach of the Month award for her work as Head Coach of Tennis For Life.
Donna started Tennis For Life 12 years ago and became affiliated with the LTA two years ago. Her commitment and energy is inspirational to all her players, juniors and adults alike. This can be seen through her dedication to training tennis leaders, her increased focus with working with people with disabilities and the confidence she instils in people to enable them to play beyond their expectations. All this hard work and dedication has meant that Tennis For Life membership has grown 30% in 2014.
On receiving the award, Donna said: "winning a national award from the LTA is amazing. I feel extremely proud of the recognition I have received and inspired to continue to develop Tennis for Life for all its members.
"As a tennis coach I enjoy the coming together with new players of all abilities; working hard together and staying together; and enjoying their progress and success, no matter how small. The future is exciting."
