Paul has been a sports nut for as long as he can remember and has competed in 8 different sports, 4 at county or college level. Self-inprovement and the mental side of sports have always been an obsessions and resulted in Paul becoming a cognitive behavioral therapist and life coach in 2000.

Paul believes that tennis is the best game for developing real-life mental skills and physical fitness simultaneously. He believes that tennis is a game that people of all ages can use as an analogy of their life and relationships and use it to recognize and modify their thoughts, emotions and behaviors for better results on and off the court.
