At Exeter Tennis Academy, we are committed to developing competitive players into complete athletes. Our programs are built around a simple goal: helping players perform their best when it matters most.​Consistent support during competition helps young players manage pressure, avoid burnout, and grow in confidence. Our program teaches them to embrace challenges, stay resilient, and find joy in competing.
Background
Grant's insight is shaped by a rich background on and off the court - from competing to growing up in Africa and leading wilderness expeditions which pushed the boundaries and learning how to stay grounded in high-pressure environments . Perhaps most powerfully, Grant’s holistic approach was shaped by a personal story of healing. After facing a debilitating illness, he took 2 years to rebuilt his life using deep mental, physical and emotional transformation. That experience taught him: with an open-mind, courage, and determination, anything is possible. Now, he brings those lessons to every player—helping them unlock their full potential not only as athletes, but as resilient, inspired individuals.
His mission - To help young people unlock their full potential — on court, and in life.​
