MARINA ASIMAKI

Personal statement

I am passionate about helping people learn tennis and stay active, with extensive experience in coaching. I love working with children and thrive in creative environments where I can engage with them. My training sessions are well-organized, yet I am always ready for spontaneous changes and interactions with my students. My primary goal is to ensure everyone enjoys themselves. I am dedicated to listening to each student and helping them improve and grow within the training environment. I maintain a positive attitude, providing encouraging feedback even when things don't go perfectly. With a strong interest in psychology and experience from University and my own professional tennis career, I enjoy sharing my practical knowledge with athletes and students, striving to boost their self-esteem and confidence. My teaching method is student-centered, focusing on the needs and desires of the learners. I enjoy involving everyone in the learning process, creating an inclusive and alternative training environment where everyone feels happy and capable.
