Adam and Rob share their journeys to becoming two of the first legally blind tennis coaches in the world.

Two BSRV Ambassadors have followed their sporting passion to become blind tennis champions and now blind tennis coaches.

Thanks to Channel 10's 'The Project' for sharing the inspiring stories of BSRV members Rob Fletcher and Adam Fayad, both legally blind, who have followed their sporting passion to become blind tennis champions and now blind tennis coaches.
 
Both Rob and Adam have completed the Tennis Australia Coaching Foundation Course becoming two of the first legally blind tennis coaches in the world and have been teaching others to play this inclusive sport.
 
It was such a pleasure to have Georgie join us on Centre Court at Kooyong to have a hit and to learn about playing and coaching tennis with vision loss.
 
It was also super exciting to have former world number seven, Danielle Collins, pair up with Georgie on court for a few rallies against Rob and Adam. To make the playing field a little more even, Danielle wore a blindfold and Georgie had on vision simulation glasses.
