\"\"<\/a>My name is Laura Bugg. I am fresh from the UK and have recently been appointed as Coach and Talent Development Manager for WA .\u00a0Prior to taking this role I worked for The Lawn Tennis Association as a Talent and Performance Coordinator for six years which involved identifying, selecting and developing some of the best 12 & under national players in the UK. The role also involved running and tutoring coach education workshops and courses.\u00a0 Earlier in my career I worked at a High Performance Tennis Centre for 10 years where I coached and ran the strength and conditioning programmes for elite juniors from the ages of 8-20 years.<\/p>\n

My new role as Coach & Talent Development Manager for WA will be to work closely with the Talent Development Coaches. These coaches are working with some of the best 12and under athletes in WA.\u00a0 I am looking forward to coordinating and delivering Tennis Australia\u2019s coach education courses and workshops and hopefully I will get to meet many new and passionate coaches who are passionate about developing players through the MLC Tennis Hot Shots programs.<\/p>\n

I am very impressed by the Super 10\u2019s competition which is happening all over Australia. I think it is a great opportunity for young athletes, as it involves the best 10 and under children competing against each other in a fun, competitive and enjoyable atmosphere.\u00a0 Super 10\u2019s is currently in its 3rd week in WA with over 35 children taking part. I hope to see some of the stronger players from Super 10\u2019s at regional & national camps and competitions in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
