Blurb Line
Peak the interest of the student in under 200 characters. Buzz words! (Dedicated, Passionate, Accomplished… you get the idea) If possible, explain what makes you unique as a tennis instructor in one sentence. Your blurb line is displayed in the search results along side your photo, instructor badges and years playing and teaching.
Some Examples:
“Anyone can hit a good ball when put in the right spot and my job is to make you hit a great ball from any spot on the court”
“I teach in a way that allows clients to have fun and have a good workout. For kids they will have fun playing games with the racquet and without it.”
“I specialize in teaching competitive players, but simply love teaching. I always ensure you’re always having fun on the court “
Video (Optional)
This is one way to really help you stand out from the other instructors. Upload a short video of you either playing on the court, teaching a lesson, or simply talking about yourself. This will give potential students a unique insight into your ability as a communicator, player and instructor. Our tests have proven that this feature specifically, goes a long way in obtaining new students.
