Mark Hunter Coaching Academy
Who Am I

Hello, my name is Mark Hunter

Having spent over 20 years in the sports industry as an LTA Level 4 Senior Performance Tennis Coach & more recently, a BPCA Advanced Pro Padel Coach... helping people improve sits at the heart of what I do.

I have worked with many players helping them achieve their goals, and have enjoyed experiences travelling with players around Europe in both Junior and ITF events. I have produced junior county champions in every age group, singles & doubles, both male & female. Players who've won ITF events in singles & doubles, worked with players on a full-time basis who've earned world ranking points, and worked with many players aspiring to attend US College or GB Universities.

I have held several Head Coach roles, and I'm proud to have built multiple programmes and coaching teams from scratch over time: sustainable, profitable, and with an ongoing pipeline of players thanks to the framework put in place from the start.

  • LTA Level 4 Senior Performance Tennis Coach
  • BPCA Advanced Pro Padel Coach
  • RPT Tennis Tutor, delivering coaching qualification courses
  • Cheshire Performance Coach of the Year
  • Former Cheshire county team captain

I provide in-person tennis & padel coaching in Cheshire & North Wales, alongside online tennis coaching for clients worldwide, covering every key pillar of player development: technical, tactical, mental, and physical. A big part of what I do includes realistic annual planning and goal setting for players, and I'm lucky to work with many adults and juniors.

I also provide coach mentoring worldwide, across multiple sports and disciplines, including football, gymnastics, hockey, rugby & basketball, helping professionals elevate their craft with clarity and confidence. I enjoy working with businesses too, helping them grow a clear culture and pathway to success. Parents receive dedicated support through my bespoke sports-parent packages and workshops designed to guide them through their child's sporting journey... which is a minefield!

Our most popular offerings are our membership programmes, giving players structured progression and ongoing support. We also offer online courses including first-serve and second-serve mastery, strategy development, mental resilience training, doubles masterclasses, and more. For businesses across the UK, we deliver tailored corporate team-building events that blend sport, communication, and performance psychology.
