Testimonials

Aspire Tennis Professionals has been critical to Methodist Ladies College’s strategic planning for the future and continued improvement in the prestigious Independent Girls School Sport Association program.

Sam Maxwell and his team have helped develop long term goals and programs whilst providing students with a safe and enjoyable learning environment. The growth and development seen in many young players in the past 3 years has been impressive and this is demonstrated in MLC’s improving tennis results.

Sam and his team of coaches encourage every student to aspire for personal growth, improvement and to achieve their own individual goals. This gives the students the confidence to transfer their new found skills into the wider community by playing tennis socially or competitively.

Sam Maxwell has coached my son tennis for the last 3 years. Riley started lessons when he was 5 and still looks forward to his weekly lessons. Sam has an amazing rapport with my son and the other students in his class.

He uses a variety of games and equipment to make the lessons varied, fun and interesting. The children are always engaged and actually playing and there is no “waiting” time where children are standing around waiting for their turn.

I couldn’t recommend Sam, his staff, or his coaching methods more highly.

Sam Maxwell has been coaching me in tennis for 4 years. I began as a very mediocre player and through his teaching, encouragement and support my tennis has improved dramatically. His is an excellent coach; patient, but with the right amount of drive and determination to push the training to ensure improvements in both game play and technique.

Sam’s skilled approach to group lessons for young boys required him to effectively manage their time and development in a disciplined yet fun approach. His success at this is evident, not only from the manner in which they have learnt much but also that they cannot wait for tennis lessons to begin again each term.

I have found Sam to be very generous with his time, energy and attitude to the boys and their parents.

It has been a pleasure to have met Sam and I am very happy for him to coach my son for as long as he is available and willing to do so.

My son who is turning eight has attended Sam’s coaching sessions for several years and it has been an absolute pleasure to observe not only his level of skill improvement and understanding but also the incredible enthusiasm that he has developed for the sport as a direct result Sam’s tutelage.

As a high school Phys Ed teacher, having also lectured physical education to B’Ed students both in England and at ECU, Joondalup, rarely have I seen someone so passionate about their sport with such incredible ability to plan and deliver such carefully planned, progressive and fun sessions for children. He has an impressive ability to inspire, challenge and get the very best out of his students.

I recently have had my racquet restrung (and re-gripped) by Aspire Tennis Professionals.
I received expert advice, guidance and assistance when selecting a string and tension. Sam was able to explain to me in lay terms what different strings and tensions would do to my game. He made a solid recommendation to me based on his knowledge of the product and my own game. I found the service exceptional and my racquet was ready for pick up on time. My racquet hit extremely well when I took it out for a bash. The restringing hit exactly as Sam had previously informed…more control without sacrificing power.
