I have been very lucky thus far to be under the guidance and tuition of a true legend of the game of tennis, someone who works tirelessly to improve and shows a true passion and love for the game. Even after all these years he is always looking to learn, and above all his enjoyment of the game is infectious whenever you are around him as a fellow coach or as his student of any age, he will get you smiling whether you are 4 or 84 and give you a run around. To all tennis coaches out there enjoy doing the greatest job in the world, keep it fun, keep learning, keep inspiring and keep working hard. - Jamie Vivian
Yes, Phil has truly been the most loyal, talented and inspirational coach I have ever worked with....and there have been a few! Brought tears to my eyes and many fond memories indeed. Let’s keep adding to the list of clubs as there are many years to go. - Diana Wilkinson
Hey Phil great post, I can't believe you have been coaching 40 years, what an amazing effort, thank you for hiring me all those years ago(22 to be precise) Holly park junior tennis club, I was stacking shelves at Waitrose not really knowing what I wanted to do, I remember meeting you for the interview and you said that you were doing a taster session at a school and did I want to come along, so off we went Diana, you Mel and me and that was it I was hooked, I had found my passion, so thanks again for giving me the opportunity to get into coaching, for be a great mentor and giving me a great base to build from. - Jaime Cotton
Hi Phil
Wow what an amazing tennis journey you have had and still continuing.
I am so grateful for you introducing me to tennis coaching back in 1993 in those heading days at Rookfield TC alongside the ever enthusiastic Diana Wilkinson. You both saved me from the fashion modelling industry. I had no career and financial direction. You gave me the opportunity to escape and go again in life. So I will never forget that. I learnt so much being with you and Diana. The sport has allowed to meet so many amazing people here and abroad and allowed me to make a very good living. Once again so grateful to you Phil. - Chazz Khan
Huge thank you to Phil for the mention in this inspiring post and thanks for starting my coaching career off. Would be great to get everyone together again. Thank you for starting my teaching career. I clearly learned from the best as a young coach and now look where I am all thanks to you sir. - Jon Guntley
Well done Phil 40 years is amazing, enjoyed reading about your life and experiences. Thank you and Diana for all of your help when I first started at Holly Park and Georgians had 2 great years, those years I will never forget! - Karl Mills
Phil thank you for your daily input to tennis and life. You are also one of life's greats. - Andy Dowsett
Great inspiration Phil. Nearly 12 years since I met you in MK on my first course as a 16 year old and I took a lot from a fellow left handed player. I have also had the pleasure of working with some of the people in your list whose knowledge and love for the game has also helped me as a coach. Great Post and hope you have a fantastic 2016. - Matthew Evans
