Your Coach: Andy Paterson

Sport has always been a big part of my life—I’ve played tennis, football, golf, beach volleyball, and padel at a high level.

I enjoyed an eight-year beach volleyball career, winning numerous tournaments at Yellowave and Worthing, and reaching the UK top 10.

Recently, I transitioned to padel, where I’ve won five LTA-ranked events between March 2024 and April 2025.

I’m excited to captain the Sussex Over 40s team at the UK Padel County Championships in June 2025!

Padel Coaching for Brighton & Hove

I’m a Brighton and Hove native, and I’m thrilled to call this vibrant city home. As a proud parent of two sporty kids, I’ve spent nearly 30 years in the corporate world, leading teams across the UK, Denmark, Australia, and Hong Kong. For two decades, I’ve helped people of all ages and backgrounds achieve their goals, giving me unique insight into the mindset of athletes both on and off the court.
