COACHING RESULTS
From Beginner Foundations
to National Champion
The story of Joy Lee — Singapore’s #1 ranked player — and the coaching that built her foundations.
SINGAPORE’S TOP PLAYER
Meet Joy Lee
Joy Lee is one of Singapore’s most accomplished junior and senior tennis players. Her journey in tennis began with the same beginner fundamentals that Jeremiah teaches in every one of his lessons today — and it has taken her all the way to the top of national rankings across multiple age groups.
Her story is proof that the right foundations — taught with patience, structure, and care — produce extraordinary results.
NATIONAL RANKINGS
Joy Lee’s Achievements
Five national #1 rankings across every competitive age group — from junior to senior open.

Retained her top national ranking moving into the U12 category — demonstrating consistent excellence and technical development across the critical early stages of junior tennis.
U14 SPEX Age Group Champion
Continued to dominate the national junior rankings at U14 — an age group where competition intensifies significantly as players approach senior-level standards.
U16 SPEX Age Group Champion

THE COACHING BEHIND THE CHAMPION
Jeremiah’s Role in Joy Lee’s Journey
Jeremiah worked with Joy Lee during the foundational stage of her development — the critical early years that determine whether a player builds correctly or develops habits that limit them later.
His contribution was not flashy drills or advanced tactics. It was something more important:
🏗️ Strong Technical Foundations
Correct grip, stroke mechanics, and court movement — built right the first time so they didn’t need to be rebuilt later.
📋 Consistent Training Structure
A disciplined, progressive programme that built competence and confidence in parallel — session by session, week by week.
💪 Confidence and Discipline
The mental side of tennis matters as much as the technical. Jeremiah instilled the belief that hard work, done correctly, produces results.
Note: Joy Lee also received important guidance from Coach XT throughout her competitive development. Her success is the result of a dedicated coaching team committed to her growth.
THE LESSON
“Strong players are built on strong fundamentals.”
Joy Lee’s five national #1 rankings didn’t start with advanced tactics. They started with the basics — taught well, from day one.
