What clients say about Judy Murray

‘Judy was magic That lovely balance between telling the inside story on the events we knew about, and also letting us right inside the stuff we didn’t It’s not only an amazing story, it’s told so brilliantly It’s not really about tennis it’s about drive, parenting, adversity, passion and life and it’s all bundled up in the most elegantly modest yet gripping package of story telling I’ve come across.' Ellis Watson, Executive Chairman DC Thomson Media and Brightsolid
‘It was definitely a highlight listening to Judy and even more so, an inspiration As an aspiring twenty year old female tennis coach it was so motivating to hear Judy speak at Kings of Tennis The way she expressed herself and walked us through her journey as a coach, and also a mum, gave a new and exciting perspective from which I believe can and will inspire many coaches, females and males, both old and young, to strive in their careers I would also make a point to emphasise the importance of female role models in sport, not only among the players but coaches as well, and for me she is the epitome of a role model, someone to look up to and be inspired by.' Caroline Eriksson, Ready Play
