🎾 Tennis, Explained – A Blog by Dominic Ross-Hurst
Welcome to Tennis, Explained — your go-to resource for insights, ideas and honest guidance about tennis development and club life with DRH Sports.
Whether you’re a player looking to improve, a parent hoping to support your child’s journey, or a coach wanting smarter ways to help others, this blog is built for you. Every month I share fresh articles drawing on my experience as a player, coach, programme lead and tennis parent to break down key topics, answer real questions and explore what really matters in the game.
A bit about me -
I’ve been involved in tennis all my life, competing as a junior and adult and progressing through the full performance pathway to reach a world-ranked level, which allowed me to travel internationally as a player.
After my playing career, I set up my own tennis coaching company and for the past 10 years have led large programmes at Letchworth Sports & Tennis Club and Milton Keynes Tennis Club, coaching juniors through county and regional pathways, including players who later became world-ranked adults.
I’m deeply passionate about coaching and believe tennis is a powerful sport for developing confidence, resilience and life skills, as well as providing a hugely rewarding journey both on and off the court.
