“Isaac Walton has been coaching our daughter, Lily, since she was four and a half years old. Like many kids she juggled multiple spots - ballet, swimming, netball and athletics - but her weekly tennis lessons always remained a highlight. Isaac allowed her to develop at her own pace , fostering a love for the game without pressure.

As an extremely tall child, Lily’s coordination took longer to develop than her peers, but Isaac’s patience and encouragement ensured she never felt limited in her potential. To our delight, she chose to specialise in tennis at college, setting her sights on earning a US University scholarship. She is now training hard with Isaac to achieve this goal.

Isaac has been incredibly supportive of Lily’s development, encouraging her participation in the Kapi Mana Wellington Junior Development Programme and various summer camps. His coaching has been instrumental in her progress- this year alone, she qualified for the TNZ Junior Masters, TNZ Junior Championships, and was awarded a Tennis NZ wildcard into a Junior ITF event.

We couldn’t be happier with Isaac as her coach. His dedication, expertise, and belief in Lily’s abilities have been invaluable in her journey.”
