James WR Corden-Lloyd

Coach, sports entrepreneur and NGO leader — writing from real experience on court, in the classroom and around the world.

About the author

More than a tennis coach.

James Corden-Lloyd is first a PTR-certified performance coach, an accredited TEFL teacher, a sports entrepreneur and the founder of Street Paws Network. His books, written as James WR Corden-Lloyd, are a bonus — but they are not accidental. The tennis and English-learning titles distil the same knowledge he applies on court and in the classroom every day. The fiction draws on a past life in international affairs, so the stories carry real-world weight.

Together the books show that Topball is built by someone with range: a coach who writes, an entrepreneur who teaches, and an NGO leader who understands that sport, education and business can reinforce one another.
