Applying for an international tennis job? Employers should be able to understand your playing level, coaching experience and qualifications within 30 seconds.
A strong tennis coach CV must present the most important information clearly and immediately.
Employers need to see:
● Age and country: Include your age, nationality and current location.
● Playing history: List your highest ATP, WTA, ITF or national ranking, along with your most important results.
● Playing video: Provide a recent, clear video showing your forehand, backhand, serve, movement and overall playing level.
● Players coached: Include the names of the players you have coached, the length of your work together and their improvement or results.
● Education: State your university, degree and graduation year.
● Certifications: List your recognised tennis, fitness and high-performance coaching qualifications.
Keep your CV short, accurate and focused on measurable achievements. Coaches applying for international tennis jobs should make this information visible on the first page.
