KIM MARLOR, HEAD COACH: VARSITY & JV TENNIS 

A teacher and coach since the fall of 1979, Kim Marlor has coached Tennis and Badminton at Garrison Forest since she arrived in the fall of 1986. She also taught and later coached squash in its infancy at GFS. Kim is committed to empowering young people to recognize, and embrace, who they are in the world of physical education, athletics and wellness. 

It's all about "the journey" for each of her athletes.  Individual sports test each athlete's ability on a daily basis and each young athlete comes to a sport with their own unique story.  Kim encourages each player to practice to the best of their ability, realize her strengths and weaknesses, focus on strengthening the weaknesses in her game play, and celebrate each step towards improvement. 

Skills and drills occupy the first two-thirds of practice and match play (to implement these new skills and strategies) generally occur at the end the practice.  Kim's long term goal for all of the players is to stay involved with all the racket sports (tennis, badminton, squash, pickle ball), "It's very simple...I want them still playing these sports when they are my age." In recent years, most of the students and athletes that Kim works with refer to her as "Marlor."
