Role-models

A role model is an integral part to a players development; someone who you can look up to, and who can inspire you to work that little bit harder to achieve your goals. There are many players in British tennis who have been successful in each of the four pathways and it is their success which can pave the way for others. Each camp will offer the opportunity for players to spend time with a different role model, listen to them speak about their journey and experiences, ask questions and spend time on the court with them. Below we showcase five role models within British Tennis - great examples of the calibre of former players and experts who you will have the opportunity to spend the day with.
