I have known Mr. Minns for approximately 6 years. During this time he has been our family’s tennis coach. He has provided instruction for our now 17-year old son, as well as my wife and me. When we started with Coach Minns, our son was only 12. At that time, my son and his two best friends had not played tennis at all, and were complete rookies. Brad was able to slowly build their skill levels with a progressive training regime that was age and skill level appropriate. Now, he includes the parents in the lessons, and is able to provide instruction and exercises that are appropriate for the varied skill levels of us all. He also constantly reminds us of the importance of healthy lifestyles, including dietary information and the need for exercise. He demonstrates this by walking the talk, clearly living the life he endorses. We have found Coach Minns to be an excellent tennis and fitness instructor, patient, supportive and highly encouraging. Mr. Minns’ tennis instructing skills are superb. However, the real benefits my family and friends receive from him go well beyond tennis. He is a fantastic role model for our sons. His consistent positive outlook, unwavering optimism and strong faith are values we want our children to emulate. Once a week, we look forward to our “boost of Brad” that lifts our spirit, and makes us very happy that we are able to spend some time with such a positive person.
