私、デーヴィッド・ケネディ（David Kennedy）はオーストラリアのメルボルン出身です。３歳の時に初めてラケットを手に取り、父とテニスをプレイした時から、私のテニス歴は始まりました。そして、小学校時代を通して、その実力を伸ばし、学校のテニスチーム、および地元のテニスクラブのキャプテンに選ばれました。その後、メルボルン地区のジュニア、シニア、ペナントの大会の数多くに出場しました。ロイヤルメルボルン工科大学を卒業後、ヨーロッパとアジアの国々を巡りながら、テニスへの情熱を高めていき、2001年から東京でコーチを始めました。2003年から、米国プロテニス協会の認定試験に向けて準備を始めました。資格取得以来10年間、数えきれないほどのレッスンとテニスクリニックを日本とアメリカにおいて行ってきました。達成感、リーダーシップ、モチベーション、そしてテニスの楽しさをプレイヤーに伝えることを最優先にしています。国内外の1000人以上のプレイヤーに指導を行い、今ではベテランのコーチとして活躍しています。
