Anna Kurkul

I began my coaching journey in response to inquiries from fellow players at my local tennis club. To ensure I provided high-quality lessons, I recognized the need to learn from experienced coaches and obtain certification. I completed a coaching course accredited by the Padel Federation of Ireland and participated in an additional week-long coaching course in Spain, certified by the Valencian Padel Federation.

Once I became a certified coach, my confidence in my skills grew, leading me to start coaching at Naas Tennis Club in 2024. Thanks to my collaboration with the Padel Federation of Ireland, I joined a nationwide junior coaching program and currently serve as the Head Coach for the Women in Sport initiative rolled out by PFI.

I am committed to continuous learning, recently completing two internships in Spain, each lasting one month, with some of the top Padel coaches in Spain.
