As with all leading tennis players there is a team of people behind them who help provide the support and assistance required to make their careers a success.

This is common in all sports, one only has to look at the top football, basketball and motor racing teams to see how many people there are covering areas such as coaching, training, injury prevention, massage, management, marketing, sponsorship, media, etc etc.

In an individual sport such as tennis, athletes require the same level of support, often with particular people, dependant upon resources, providing more than one role.

In the majority of cases the primary source of that support comes from family, and Lleyton is no different from many other players where he has great support from his and Bec’s families.

In addition to this support, Lleyton relies on a few people to help in the types of areas listed above.  Tony Roche (Lleyton’s private coach) and Ivan Gutierriez (Lleyton’s physio and trainer) are featured in this section of the website, with video tips to help tennis players of all ages and standards.

Support is also prominent for Lleyton from the Australian Davis Cup staff, notably John Fitzgerald (captain), Darren Cahill (coach) and Dr. David Brookes (team doctor). Sydney personal trainer Nathan Martin has also been a vital part of Team Hewitt, working with Lleyton on his fitness when home in Sydney.
