Michel Delage

I am interested in working for your company because physical activity and teaching sports has always been a passion for me. I hope to be able to get to know your services more and establish a collaboration with FTP witch may evolve over time. Being able to choose our weeks and where we work is interesting for me.

I believe I can be an asset to your team because my personality, my training, my experience and my lifestyle are exactly in line with the services you offer.

At 57 years old, I still have the passion for tennis my father transferred to me when I was young by bringing me at his club and signing me up for lessons.

During teenagehood I try a lot of sports but finally opted for tennis, hockey and downhill ski. For these 3 sports I obtained teaching certifications from federations and I taught them as an adult.

It's really in tennis that I became the most competent and trained. I got my tennis certification instructor from tennis Canada and work as a tennis coach in many indoor and outdoor clubs for the last 39 years !! I also managed outdoor tennis clubs, leagues and tennis program. Even though I worked full time for my city at recreation department for 33 years as a manager (indoor hockey arenas and indoor pools), I always work part time in the tennis industry, teaching, tournament organization and consultant.

I have always pursued the study of new methods of teaching and improvement. Currently I do it through tutorials and live sessions with world-renowned tennis coaches on the web. In addition I am in direct contact with the Auger-Alliassime tennis Academy in my town club.

I have a degree from Laval University Quebec Canada in science more particularly science of physical activity. Very good for bio-mechanical, physiology, anatomy, nutrition effects I can use to teach with tennis players who want to know more about that.

Recently, I got my secourisme and RCR/DEA certification.

I am very human and caring person, listening, dynamic and motivation, responsible are some of my qualities and strengths.

I retired last august and now ready for new challenge in tennis!
