Taking Your First Swing
This guide is tailored for adults who want to enjoy tennis without feeling overwhelmed by complex techniques and jargon. With 25 years of tennis experience and 8 years of coaching in Canada, the U.S., New Zealand, and Australia, I’ve seen firsthand how intimidating tennis can be for beginners. When I started my own coaching business in 2024, I noticed a huge gap in beginner-friendly resources for adults. So, I designed this guide to break things down, making tennis simple, fun, and accessible.
In Taking Your First Swing, you’ll learn how to hit forehand and backhand strokes with the right grip, get tips to make clean contact with the ball, and master easy drills to improve coordination—all while using equipment that’s just right for you. Whether you’re picking up a racquet for the first time or want to add a bit of technique to your casual games, this guide is made for busy adults who want to enjoy the sport without the stress of committing to weekly group or private lessons. It’s time to feel confident, motivated, and most importantly—have fun on the court.
