Jon Gregory - Club Coach
Coach Profile
Jon Gregory joined Pewsey Tennis Club at the age of 9 and has been a member
ever since, joining at the same time as current Head Coach Martin Wright.
He has represented the club in league teams for both adults and juniors
in that time and also as a junior he represented Wiltshire at the County
Cup Event.
A keen competitor, Jon played in many competitions during junior years
and managed to achieve an LTA rating of 4.1, although he hasn’t
entered an LTA singles event for many years.
Having gained his LTA Tennis Assistant’s Award in 2002, he decided
to take the next step and become a licensed coach and during the summer
of 2003 he gained the LTA Development Coach Award (DCA). He attended the
course with Martin.
He worked at the tennis club during the years of 2003/2004 before leaving
for University in September 2004, although living away he still played
in the men’s league teams during the summer.
After graduating in 2007 with a BA(hons) degree is Leisure and Sport
Management, he returned to the area but worked elsewhere, although still
playing for the club in the league.
At the start of 2010 he agreed to return to the club as a coach to work
alongside Martin following the departure of Jon Veale. Since joining,
he has upgraded his DCA coaching qualification to the LTA Club Coach Award.
Jon is the current Men’s League Team Captain and Men’s A
Team Captain, and the team has won the Swindon and District Tennis League
in 3 of the last 4 seasons.
Last season the team comprising Jon Gregory, Martin Wright, Jon Veale
and Robert Guthrie managed to go the whole season of 14 matches unbeaten.
Looking to the future, he hopes to continue to enhance his coaching skills
and knowledge by attending LTA courses on a regular basis, and is also
hopeful of another successful year in the Men’s League. One of his
aims for the club is to try and get more juniors competing on a regular
basis.
Jon is available for private/group coaching for juniors and seniors.
