13-year-old Iain has been playing tennis for around 8 years, for the past 18 months he has been a member of Rutherglen LTC’s Performance Development Squad and a member of the West of Scotland squad.
Iain has won numerous club championship titles at Hamilton LTC and Whitecraigs LTC and he plays competitively around both Scotland and North of England.
This past year he has been winning more tournaments, beating players he has never beaten before, climbing the rankings and more importantly improving his game.
Iain is a determined and dedicated player who could count on one hand the number of training sessions missed since starting. This work ethic has always kept him in amongst his peers competitively.
There has always been and always will be pressures in this highly intensive sport, primarily because when on court playing, a player has to handle all the stresses alone. Therefore working on the mental aspect of the sport is becoming more important and a bigger part of his game.
This year Iain’s game has started to fall into place with some great results and in 2024 he hopes to continue this success, with goals of playing for the West of Scotland in the British County Cup.
Now that Iain is in the 360 Performance Academy, we support these goals 100% and will continue to help him develop and grow his mindset and mentality both on and off court.
