ERWANN LE RIDANT

TENNIS PHILOSOPHY:

For me tennis is more than a sport.

Tennis is something that surrounds the efforts of the mind and body together.

With tennis, you can teach confidence, determination, endurance, satisfaction and teach skills that allow you to react quickly to any application of life.

Within tennis there is also the simple element of fun, removing yourself from all the other distractions of everyday life, and enjoying the moment.

Tennis is a sport for life, you get out of it what you put in.

BIO:

Tennis has been the one constant in my life dating back as far as I remember. Born in France and growing up in Africa, my life journey with tennis has brought me all over the world.

As a boy I had dreams of becoming a professional player. When I turned 16, I moved to the South of France for training. Unfortunately, a back injury quickly diminished that dream and I had to withdraw from competing. As life would have it, tennis kept on calling me back. I re-connected with tennis traveling with my cousin on the ATP tour. In my late 20’s after a short tour in the French Army, I moved to the United States and began working with what would become my greatest friend and mentor Tarik Benhabiles.

TRAINING HIGHLIGHTS:

Assisted many juniors to reaching their goals of college acceptance.
2010, achieved 2 Grand Slam titles, Wimbledon Doubles title and US Open Doubles title on the WTA tour as a coach of Vania King
Developed and ran junior and adult programs at a club level designed to invite various levels of players, some for fun, some fitness geared, some social, and others technical.

Anyone with a passion for tennis will benefit from my training style. Whether you are serious about enhancing your technical level in preparation for competition, or whether you want to sharpen your skills, or have fitness with fun in mind, I can help. I have worked with all levels from beginners to professional players working with juniors to retired seniors.
