MEET THE PB TEAM

PETE BRIDGEWATER

PB TENNIS MANAGER & HEAD COACH

I have played tennis from a young age and enjoyed playing up to a county level standard. I have now been coaching for over 20 years with experience in coaching players of all ages and standards.

I am a passionate and enthusiastic coach with lots of energy; and pride myself at being able to adapt my coaching style to get the most out of each individuals game. I am friendly, approachable and importantly am here to help you get the most out of your tennis.

I coach players who have never hit a tennis ball, up to having had regular hitting practice with internationally ranked players.

Tennis has brought me a lot of enjoyment, and it is my aim to pass this on and get as many people involved in tennis as possible.

“Pete brings the level of support and professionalism expected in the growing world of personal training and coaching. My boys particularly benefit from Pete’s vast knowledge and most of all, the enthusiasm he brings to everything he does.”

I have played tennis from seven years old, and have over 10 years’ experience coaching players of all ages and abilities. I have a range of experience, having worked with a variety of players, including complete beginners, players of all ages with SEN, and internationally ranked juniors.

I hold LTA and RPT Level 3 coaching qualifications and an undergraduate degree in Sport and Exercise Psychology. I am currently completing a PhD in collaboration with the International Tennis Integrity Agency, researching supplement use in professional tennis.

I am enjoying working with players within the Team programme and developing and delivering some of our trips!

I particularly enjoy seeing players grow their love for the sport and strongly believe that tennis is an excellent vehicle for developing important life skills such as resilience, teamwork, and self-confidence. Tennis has given me a great deal over the years, and a key goal for me is to pass that on and facilitate opportunities for individuals to participate and build skills at all levels.
