Coaching
In 2005 I successfully completed my LTA Development Coach Award and I am now qualified to coach tennis to both non-disabled and disabled players.
I am the first Tetraplegic to obtain this qualification and some of the organisations I have done work for are:
The Cliff Richard Foundation:
I became the first wheelchair tennis player to participate in the Cliff Richard Tennis Classic event.
“With the Cliff Richard Foundation now involved in providing opportunities for children with disabilities to play tennis it was fantastic that Mark was able to join us at the Tennis Classic. His achievements are truly inspirational and his participation in the event helped make the whole occasion a wonderful success”
