Peter has been coaching in Ballarat for 14 years and has a lifelong involvement in tennis as a player on the pro tour, and a coach, manager and parent at all levels of the game. Peter and his family live in Lal Lal, his wife Rochelle and twin boys Jarrod and Brayden (13) all love playing tennis.

He was the private coach of Zoe Hives (from Kingston) in her junior development years from 2006-2013 at Ballarat Regional TC. During this time Zoe was Winner of the 2011 Australian National Championships (14 and Under), winner of ITF Junior events in 2012 and represented Australia in the Junior Federation Cup Team in Barcelona September 2012.

She has won 1 WTA and 2 ITF titles.

Peter also loves being involved in the Hot Shots Program and Club activities.

“There is very little difference in technical knowledge about the game among most experienced Coaches. However, there is a vast difference between leaders in their ability to teach the “game”, tactics and motivate those under their supervision.” – John Wooden
