About Paul Arber
Paul Arber was a Australian Tennis Coach liked by all who knew him. He demonstrated character, hard work, determination, inspiration, commitment to continuing education and mentorship, and this annual award is dedicated in his honor. He ran the coaching facility, Trademark Tennis, at the Leon Haskin Tennis Centre, in Bentleigh East (Melbourne, Australia).
Paul had previously worked with the Australian Institute of Sport and the National High Performance Academy (Australia). He was also the Assistant Men's Tennis Coach at Auburn University and he has worked in a coaching capacity with several elite juniors and professionals. Paul was taken too soon in December 2013, but his life and legacy lives on. This award was created to honor his memory and provide young, deserving tennis coaches with the means to further their tennis career. Paul truly loved the game of tennis and devoted his life to it. Many tributes to Paul have been posted on social media. Arbs, as he was often called, was well liked by 3 generations. He was respected by his elders, loved by those of his own age and looked up to by kids that he coached. On another note, the iTPA Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer knew Paul personally, and were very saddened to hear about his passing but wanted to create this award to honor his memory.
