In 2000 Jenny took up her present position as a tutor for the LTA, her role involves the delivery of DCA and relevant short courses; Jenny has also delivered on the CCA and TDA. She is also a tutor for ScUK, particularly on their multi skills courses. Jenny has a detailed knowledge and understanding of the development of players at the fundamental stage, especially at performance level. Linked with this is the work she has done in the field of Talent Identification.

Jenny has an understanding of the requirements for players to play at a high level in all of the performance areas, as this was part of her brief as a CPO. Jenny’s background gives her a vast experience in the principles of teaching and their application to tennis coaching. Jenny can help coaches put theory into practice and improve the quality of their delivery.  Employment at Queenswood and  Herts LTA gave her an understanding and experience of developing coaching programmes and all that is required to ensure their smooth operation with regard to coaches, parents, volunteers and official bodies.
