“Junior pathway players who are committed to multi-year work. Patricia's tactical and mental game development is exceptional. She manages the parent relationship as honestly as the player relationship — we always knew where my daughter stood.”

Where the coach isn't the fit: Players or families who want quick results. Patricia builds across years, not months.

“Younger junior players who can benefit from sustained tactical work. Patricia is patient and methodical and was excellent with my son during the time we worked together.”

Where the coach isn't the fit: Honestly, the only thing I want to flag is that Patricia describes herself as having been head of junior development at West Coast Tennis Center during the period we were there. That's not how we experienced the program. There were a few coaches at her level and she taught alongside others rather than running the development pathway. I wanted to confirm or contest this directly, which is why I'm noting it here.

“Patricia is a strong coach and I would recommend her work with junior pathway players without reservation. We coached alongside each other at West Coast Tennis Center and her player development was real.”

Where the coach isn't the fit: I'd note for the public record that during the period 2013–2015 the head of junior development at West Coast was someone else. Patricia was a senior coach and her work was excellent, but the title as currently listed doesn't match what I observed. I don't think this changes the substance of who she is as a coach, but the record should be accurate.
