‘Today there's too much coaching and not enough playing’

Scottish tennis coach and author Judy Murray reveals her teaching philosophy

I hadn't long been the Scottish national coach when this photo with Jamie and Andy was taken. It was around 1995. Jamie would have been about nine and Andy eight. It's at Dunblane Sports Club, which is where the boys basically grew up.

We moved to Dunblane just before Andy was born. Jamie would have been about 15 months. I had been working as a sales rep in Glasgow. This involved a lot of travelling, which wasn't manageable with two kids. So after we had settled in, I was looking for something to do. I rejoined the tennis club and discovered there wasn't much going on for the kids in the area. There were no tennis coaches. I wasn't one either but, with a passion for the game, I decided to volunteer for a couple of hours a week while my mum looked after the boys.
