Meet our LUX Pro Alex

Could you kindly provide insight into your background as a professional in?tennis?both as an athlete and coach?

My journey began at the age of 5 in Harare, Zimbabwe. I played for the Zimbabwe under-18 team until I turned 17, after which I moved to Cape Town. There, I underwent training and participated in tournaments, achieving a top 30 ranking in the National men's rankings and competing in ITF tournaments. Notable achievements include representing Zimbabwe and attaining a high ranking in South Africa. Personally, reaching ATP level tennis proficiency has opened numerous doors in coaching and life for me.

Could you recount any remarkable success stories or inspiring examples of guests who have partaken in?tennis coaching sessions at our partner resorts?

One of the most rewarding experiences during my coaching sessions is witnessing the smiles on guests' faces when we successfully resolve a problem they're facing in their game. It brings me immense joy because I recall that feeling vividly. Additionally, I cherish the relationships formed with guests who keep returning for lessons until their departure from the resort. It's not just about coaching; it's about the connections fostered throughout the process.

Can you elaborate on how you integrate?tennis?lessons into the overall experience for hotel guests?

Integrating tennis lessons into guests' resort experiences involves balancing skill advancement with enjoyment on the court. It's about personalized instruction tailored to individual goals, incorporating engaging activities to keep sessions fun, while also maintaining focus on achieving set objectives. This approach ensures guests improve their skills while having a memorable and fulfilling tennis experience.

How has your coaching experience evolved since becoming a part of the LUX Tennis team?

Working alongside the LUX Tennis team has provided me with invaluable opportunities to expand my skill set and refine my approach to coaching. One of the most notable aspects of this journey has been the enhancement of my adaptability to diverse individuals and situations.

Through exposure to a wide range of players with varying skill levels, backgrounds, and learning styles, I've learned to tailor my coaching techniques to meet the unique needs of each individual. This adaptability has been crucial in maximizing the effectiveness of my coaching sessions, as I am able to customize my instruction to optimize the learning experience for every player.
