” I, Harry Bourchier, Coach at Hobart Tennis Academy – have been working closely with John Playle (Head Coach Hobart Tennis Academy) during 2014, the time and effort he puts into his players exceeds what is required. I’ve been around the Hobart Tennis Academy environment long enough to know if the players keep taking in what is said their games will improve dramatically. I also know it is the best training culture in the country.” HB
