This week we interview Mark Jackson, racquets manager at David Lloyd Southampton West End.

Mark picked up tennis at a young age up in Lincolnshire, but it wasn’t necessarily the sport he’d had in mind as a starry eyed kid.

His path to managing racquets at one of the biggest clubs in Hampshire came via a year looking at a possible life in pro tennis, and a coaching career that made him one of only a few Level Five coaches in the area.

We cover the pandemic, most common coaching requests, his expectations for the DL team captains, the inner workings of the UK padel scene, and much more.
