With a BA (Hons) in Leisure and Sports Management, James has been coaching for almost 20 years and first started playing at the age of five. He soon progressed to playing competitively for Buckinghamshire, gaining selection for 4 consecutive U18 County Cups.

James had an impressive record as a player, reaching the last 32 in the British Junior Nationals at U14 level. He also achieved a 3-year unbeaten record in the University of Brighton’s Men’s Tennis Team in B.U.S.A.

He set up JWT Coaching in 2010 whilst at Bicester Tennis Club, and has been able to attract an array of talented, experienced and enthusiastic coaching staff, whilst also fostering and mentoring some of the younger players to pursue their own coaching accreditations.

He enjoys coaching players of all abilities and enjoys discovering and developing players to their full potential, allowing them to compete and gain success in competition. This success is only achievable with equal commitment from both player and coach, working collectively to enhance the technical, tactical and physical elements of your game in an enjoyable and motivating way.

James continues his championing of new talent and is currently Bucks Boys Under 9s County Captain, working alongside some of the best coaches in Buckinghamshire.
