Tony Winston

Level 2 Club Professional Coach

I have played tennis for over 30 years, competing locally for much of that time. In 2012 and 2018, I was nominated and won the Tennis ACT Adult Club Player of the Year for my on-going contribution to Belconnen West Tennis Club and for my participation in numerous Tennis ACT Adult Pennants.

After too many years of working in the Information Technology industry, I decided to pursue a career in tennis coaching. I’ve now been coaching for over 6 years and in that time, I have completed the Junior Development Coaching course and the Club Professional Coaching course. I am now coaching for On the Line Tennis as the Squad Development Manager. I get great enjoyment from coaching students of all ages and levels. My tennis philosophy is to continuously improve my skills and knowledge, to provide a fun, challenging and safe environment where all players can learn and achieve success.

I have been playing tennis since the age of 10. During my tennis journey, I have competed in many tournaments and have travelled all over nationally and internationally on the ITF Tour. I achieved a career high Australian ranking of 82 and gained many experiences through my travels. After years of competing on the ITF Tour, I completed a degree in the Bachelor of the Built Environment (Architecture) at the University of Canberra in 2023.

I have been a part of On the Line Tennis since 2013. In 2022, I completed my Tennis Australia Junior Development Coaching course. I am now working full time, and I am the Business Manager of On the Line Tennis. I also enjoy teaching people of all ages and love to share my experiences and knowledge with those around me.
