0:00:04.480,0:00:11.070
Craig Tiley, Director of tennis for Tennis
Australia, as well as the tournament director

0:00:11.070,0:00:11.620
for the Australian Open.

0:00:11.620,0:00:17.720
That becomes the most important part of growing
and having sustainability and getting more

0:00:17.720,0:00:22.269
people excited about wanting to be a coach
and an official and getting into it.

0:00:22.269,0:00:26.179
They first have to be rewarded and recognised
in their local communities, so everyone in

0:00:26.179,0:00:30.519
their local communities needs to know that
"There's my tennis coach" "there are the tennis

0:00:30.519,0:00:35.560
officials" and they need to be celebrated
and revered for what they do for kids, for

0:00:35.560,0:00:37.610
adults, for the sport within the community.

0:00:37.610,0:00:42.370
That’s a matter of having, through the Local
Advisory Groups, and through the local coaching

0:00:42.370,0:00:45.289
programs a rewards and recognition program.

0:00:45.289,0:00:50.370
Then they need to be rewarded and recognised
nationally, so now they get more into the

0:00:50.370,0:00:54.329
national stage, and then the same needs to
be done globally.

0:00:54.329,0:01:00.519
There's many ways you can do that, we reward
coaches through an awards evening, we do that

0:01:00.519,0:01:05.570
and every state have a rewards evening for
the coaches, then there's a large national

0:01:05.570,0:01:10.660
one, which we are about to roll-out. We also
reward coaches by opportunities at the Australian

0:01:10.660,0:01:16.080
Open; we bring them to arguably one of the
worlds biggest tennis events.

0:01:16.080,0:01:22.220
We bring our coaches and officials to that
to enjoy it. We reward them through making

0:01:22.220,0:01:28.320
it a profession; we invest in the resources
to make the coaching pathway and the officiating

0:01:28.320,0:01:32.000
pathway actually a profession. You can build
it into becoming a job.

0:01:32.000,0:01:37.640
And then we also reward them through engagement.
So you can be recognised as the best "early

0:01:37.640,0:01:44.640
childhood coach in Australia" You can be recognised
as the best "Club Coach, the best High Performance

0:01:45.200,0:01:52.200
Coach" And certain things to get that. So
there's constant engagement, constant recognition,

0:01:52.210,0:01:56.360
and it's really important to have that, because
remember, these are the people that are spending

0:01:56.360,0:02:01.390
hours and hours, days and days, months and
months out in the field making it happen.
