New coach excited to help grow club

Brunswick Tennis Club welcomes new head coach Sam Galati next month who is looking to bring new life to developing young players.

Galati said he was excited to get started at the club which had a lot of enthusiasm and junior participation.

“Brunswick is a growing club with lots of potential there,” he said.

“They’re very appreciative of the coaching they get.”

Galati said he had family from Brunswick and had played there a number of times, so he was looking forward to coaching at the club.

Growing up in Australind, Galati has competed in competitions throughout the South West before moving up to the State level and competing in Perth.

In 2012 and 2013 Galati represented WA in the School Sports State Team.

Galati said he loved the individual nature of the sport with development and improvement down to the player.

“You have to want it if you want to get better,” he said.

Galati said junior development would be his focus, looking to help young players take their tennis as far as they want.

“It’s hard to progress when you’re a player from the country and I know that first hand,” he said.

“I want to help them progress to that next stage and help them get to that next level.”
