About Me
Hi, I’m Philip Toledo.
I love working with people of all ages and abilities to help them achieve their goals. I’m an easygoing coach who aims to make everyone feel comfortable on court, tailoring each lesson to the individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.I’ve coached tennis for over 10 years, from complete beginners to competitive players. I grew up playing tournaments myself and represented Bristol University, winning 22 of my 23 matches. I still compete when time allows and currently rank inside the top 1,000 in the UK.Off court, I enjoy football, basketball, snooker, rock climbing, and yoga, and I often bring lessons from those sports into my coaching. I also have a strong interest in data science, which I like to integrate into performance analysis and player development.

What We Offer
Tennis is one of the best sports for personal growth. It constantly challenges your mindset, focus, and ability to stay present. My coaching develops self-awareness, independence, and confidence through guided problem-solving and tactical learning. Sessions prioritise tactical goals first, then the technical adjustments needed to achieve them. Footwork, variety, and mindset are at the core of my approach, with improvement driven by focused, high-intensity repetition-
improvement = hours trained × intensity trained.
