Meet Helen, Your Carlow Tennis Coach

I'm a lifelong lover of tennis, with over 15 years of coaching experience.

My story

Where it started

I started coaching through my local club's junior programme, where I discovered how rewarding it is to help young players grow. Since then I've earned my coaching qualifications in both the UK and Ireland, and spent more than 15 years helping kids and adults in Carlow enjoy the game.

My approach

How I coach

  1. Patience first

    Beginners, especially young ones, need time and encouragement. I never rush anyone.

  2. Learn through play

    I focus on nurturing each player's natural ability in a way that's enjoyable and confidence-building, because learning is best when it's fun.

  3. Tennis for everyone

    Everyone deserves the chance to enjoy the game and feel welcome on court, whatever their age or ability.
