Connie Leone
20 Years of Playing 9th Year of Coaching 5th Year of Head Coach Role at Beyond Tennis AATC Course/WorkshopThis year marks the 20th year of being involved in the sport as a player and later on as a coach. My years of playing allowed me to compete in State and National Tournaments, Junior and Senior Pennant and represent Victoria. Unfortunately to an early onset of chronic injury my goals of representing Australia diminished but over time kept playing from a fun, social perspective. The first stepping stones for coaching were made here at the Elite Tennis Academy with Lynton back in 2009. Gaining as much as I could by coaching at the ETA, other coaching companies and studying in the sporting field, it helped me create Beyond Tennis in a partnership and find my feet as a coach. Working as a Head Coach gave me the opportunity to develop myself as a coach and bring my knowledge, skills and qualities to further help the students at the ETA.

Philip Brown
My belief is that you only get out what you put in, so I am a strong believer of hard work determination. Growing up tennis was never my first choice in sport but came to enjoy it more after completing football at a junior age group. I am terrified of heights and I generally dislike seafood. Stefano D’Elia

I like to teach self-belief and the only limits are what we place upon ourselves. If you can dream, then you can realize your dreams. I work with people who are from marginalized groups and abilities. I am passionate about working with people with disabilities and helping them to achieve their goals and dreams, no matter what their age or ability.
