Biography
Lucy O’Dore (Sanders) is an LTA Level 4 tennis coach for A Star Tennis, with 10 years of Tennis coaching experience and 20 years of playing experience. Lucy is originally from Worcester but moved to Solihull two years ago.
Whilst gathering a first-class degree at the University of Worcester studying Sport Coaching Science BSc, Lucy developed her coaching to become more games-based (learning through the game of tennis) by incorporating up-to-date research. This helps Lucy to create a fun, realistic environment in which players can learn their tennis abilities – whilst still playing the game we love! Lucy believes tennis should be for everyone and strives to include everyone in her lessons through positive attitudes and inclusive approaches.
Lucy has experience coaching a wide range of players from 3-year-olds up, whether at recreational level of striving for national standards, as well as teaching in America and the UK. She also has significant experience working in school-based settings and as such has a wide range of strategies in place to get the best from groups of younger players.
Lucy’s accomplishments:
- LTA Apprenticeship runner-up 2014
- Taught a U10’s female player to national selection
- Gained first-class degree in Sports Coaching Science (BSc)
- Ran a very successful part court scheme, increasing attendance and achieving the Communities and park award 2021
