Running profitable and sustainable competitions within your coaching programme with Selena Coburn

Episode 4

Monday, April 1, 2024 • Duration 53:44

In this podcast Selena Coburn, LTA Level 4 Senior Performance Coach and R2 Graded Referee, takes us through the essential information to effectively deliver tennis and padel competitions to service players in your programme and in the local area and to help build your business.

Retention is vital to help grow a sustainable tennis and padel programme, and having a fun competitive outlet is proven to keep players in the game for longer. The Harvard Business Review reports that increasing customer retention rates by 5% increases profits by 25-95%. It also shows it's 5 to 25 times more expensive to acquire a new customer than it is to retain an existing one. So investing in competition is good for business.

Selena’s R2 Graded Referee status has allowed her to obtain experience at all levels of the domestic grading system, running events all the way from Grade 6 LTA Youth Matchplay's up to Grade 1 LTA National Tour tournaments (including the Berkshire Junior County Championship). Such domestic pedigree led Selena to make the international jump and become the Tournament Director at various Tennis Europe (12U Cat2) and ITF Junior (J30) events

All Selena's good work resulted in her being named “Official of the Year” for the Central and East region in 2023, going on to finish runner-up in the LTA National Tennis Awards.

As a Level 4 Senior Performance Coach, Selena is currently based at Bradfield Tennis Centre (Berkshire), club where she has been coaching and delivering competitions for the last 7 years.

Who better than Selena, to guide us through all her top tips to delivering a profitable and sustainable competition calendar in your programme/venue to help drive player retention and development.

The benefits of embracing inclusive tennis with Louise Assioun & Sue Morrison

Episode 3

Friday, March 1, 2024 • Duration 54:06

In this podcast industry leaders, Luoise Assioun & Sue Morrison, with more than 27 and 30 years of inclusive coaching experience respectively, discuss opening up sporting environments to people with disabilities and the benefits of embracing inclusive tennis within your coaching programme.

Across Great Britain, an estimated 11 million people have a disability, and they are less likely to participate in sporting activity than non-disabled people, which can be a result of a lack of inclusivity and accessibility to sport. Embracing inclusive tennis then represents a huge opportunity for coaches to help grow their programmes.

Louise Assioun and Sue Morrison have worked throughout their coaching careers to make tennis more inclusive, and to equip coaches with tools that facilitate the delivery of disability tennis sessions. In their commitment to ensuring sport is an environment for all, one of Lou’s and Sue’s most recent ground-breaking moves was founding LUSU Sports in 2016, which focuses on the designing of equipment and activity programmes to support coaches involved in disability tennis. To this date, many tennis programmes and schools have benefited from their projects and ideas, meaning more disabled children and adults with long-term health conditions being active while engaging with tennis.

Listen to this podcast to discover the top tips Louise and Sue use to be more inclusive, and explore what benefit this can bring to you and your coaching programme.
