Isabelle DebondiJunior Coach

Emerging leader program (currently).

I started coaching tennis in December 2022 when I was 13 years old. My friend and I started volunteering around October, and during the Christmas holiday program I got my first coaching job.

I coach kids aged 7 to 10 years old, but have worked with kids between the ages of 5 and 12. I enjoy coaching all ages.

I love coaching all the little kids and watching them improve throughout the year. Meeting new kids and helping them build their confidence and tennis skills is also something I really enjoy.

My favorite tennis memory is playing tennis with my Mum, Sister and Dad on the weekends when I was younger.

My favorite player is Ash Barty. When I was younger, she was the only professional player I watched on TV, and she inspired me a lot because she is Australian.

I use Asics shoes and a Wilson racket, which I really like, but honestly, I just go with whatever my parents offer to pay for!

I am left-handed!
