Lhuilliers seek deep program for trainers

BROTHERS Stephan Lhuillier and Sebastian Lhuillier aim for a more dynamic program for local tennis trainers in 2019.

Following a successful series of seminars last year, the Pinoy Tennis Trainers (PTT) spearheaded by Stephan, conducted a free tennis workshop for trainers at Makati Sports Club over the weekend

More than 40 of the country’s best local tennis trainers representing schools and clubs from all over Metro Manila and Central Luzon graduated and received their respective certificates.

They also attended the 13 PTT legs conducted nationwide since 2016 by coach Roland Kraut-lone Filipino ITF Level 3 mentor along with Stephan and Sebastian – the young tennis enthusiasts and the sons of Cebuana Lhuillier President and CEO Jean Henri Lhuillier and Olympian Bea LuceroLhuillier.

“I am proud of what we have accomplished from the time we launched Happiest Pinoy more than three years ago. I am elated to hear that some of our graduates are now earning high paying jobs or have moved on to become coaches of their respective clubs and local teams,” said Stephan.

PTT started three years ago upon a chance encounter of Stephan with a local ball boy who is earning a meager rate in his job. Armed with his vision and knowledge, Stephan founded PTT aiming to provide trainers with opportunity to earn more by booking more clients.

“That’s really the purpose of PTT to create better opportunities to hardworking men of our local tennis community. This coming year will be different. My brother Sebastian will be joining the PTT family as I prepare to begin my university studies in the United States,” added Stephan.
