Kerry Dock
Kerry Dock has been based in Sydney as coach for 20 years. |
 |
- He has coaching experience at all levels having taught many beginners at local and school level up through to junior and senior open tournaments and touring with players on the ATP and WTA tours.
- He has coached over 5000 players and trained many coaches with a high percentage of players going on to attain national rankings and world rankings, but more importantly has helped many social and recreational players of all abilities, ethnic and economic backgrounds enjoy tennis by teaching sound basics and instilling the desire to keep improving and learning.
- One of Kerry’s aims has always been to create a tennis education system that made tennis affordable and high quality for a wider market of people, not just the middle and upper classes. In July 2007, Kerry came up with the idea to take David’s fitness and footwork methods that he encountered first in 1993 and combine them with his traditional tennis coaching methods to create the Tennis Blast Program. The program has become a reality 2 years later in October 2009.
