Max from the Sport, Sports and Sporting Activities Centre sport marketing department suggested that I keep a tennis blog. He’s a whiz kid that has just completed a university degree in Sports Science and is here working as an intern. Perhaps he knows what he’s talking about perhaps he doesn’t – but since business has been so bad recently at the tennis centre for which I am responsible, I am willing to try anything.
Let me introduce myself. I’m Teresa the tennis coach. I’m a kiwi with blond hair and blue eyes and am currently visiting Britain because this is where my roots are. Maybe it was a mistake and maybe it wasn’t but my dad and my mum came from Britain and I have always felt that I needed to spend some time here. Not that I’m seeing much of Britain. Life for me is much the same as it was in New Zealand. It’s all about tennis courts, tennis balls, tennis rackets and providing tennis tuition. Or at least it would be, if I could solve my tennis centre marketing problem.
The tennis centre is situated in the Sport, Sports and Sporting Activities Centre which itself is situated in a beautiful converted country manor in a beautiful rural part of Devon. It would be a lovely place to retire but is not exactly going to win a prize as rave location of the year.
The tennis facilities here, however, are fantastic and I hope to be able to talk about the tennis courts and lots of other things to do with tennis here in this blog.
If you too are interested in tennis, I look forward to seeing you back here often.
