About Ed.
“Autonomy is a great way to deal with pressure.”
I’m Ed Seator—a former touring professional with 18 years of international coaching experience, now based in South Florida. I offer world-class coaching, with efficient, effective results for players of all ages and levels. Coaching philosophy
In the past, I have had experience working at prestigious clubs in London, Dublin and Boca Raton. I was the Director of Tennis at a 55+ community in Boynton Beach, FL. During this time, I have worked with a wide range of levels and ages, from 5–75—beginners to national champions from four countries: the UK, Ireland, Canada and the USA—some of whom have gone on to represent their countries in the Davis Cup and BJK Cup, as well as the Junior World Championships.
Coaching philosophy.
I believe the most underrated part of tennis is the “ball strike.” The cleaner and harder you hit the ball, the better you play. I have had results with all ages and levels, from beginners to “world-class juniors,” ranging in age from 5–75, with this philosophy. I focus more on swing paths, smooth movements and getting the body working from the ground up, rather than exact angles and forcing people into uncomfortable positions.
Lateral movement and rotational power are the foundation of great tennis. I like to let players find their own technique, within certain parameters, to help players be able to “get behind the ball” and play on balance as often as possible. I don’t like to overload people with information and find that the more questions that are asked by the players, the more information they take on and implement.
I also believe that the environment and positivity play a big part in improving. Tennis can be an amazing, fun journey. My biggest goal is to get the player thinking on court and playing for themselves; autonomy is a great way to deal with pressure!
