IN SUPPORT OF PATRIK VICIAN

Best tennis coach ever met!

Patrik is always respectful to his students. He supports the development of students’ tennis skills as well as responsibility and discipline.

Patrik is a dedicated tennis coach. We want him to stay with westhill team.

my two kids were in West Hill and all of the years i being around i have never seen anybody like Patrick, it just doesn't exist !!! who in the heck would be in the right mind to support the idea of not having Patrick around our kids?? he is a honest hard working person with a natural talent to teach good things in and out of the court!! let's get together and support dedication, passion, good living, let's support Patrick!!!

I have known Patrik since 2004. All 3 of my children were on the boys and girl’s tennis teams under coach’s before Patrik’s arrival at Westhill. Only my youngest had him for a coach the last year she played. I wish they all could have been coached under his tutelage. He is passionate, constantly encouraging, always coming up with inventive training techniques and driven to bring out the best in those he teaches. He cares about Westhill and the Stamford tennis community. Just look at what he has accomplished for Westhill Tennis. I don’t believe any other tennis coach has had this much success. It would be Westhill’s loss if he is not rehired.

Patrik is an exceptional coach and I've never seen someone so dedicated to his players and the community. Westhill is lucky to have him frankly.

Patrik loves his kids and goes above and beyond a perfunctory performance. Forget the records and the scores, Patrik is a one in a thousand high school tennis coach, he takes an active role in his kids’ development and losing him would be a huge loss.

I never did see so passionate and profession person as Patrick with so much experience and a way to teach not just regular people how to play tennis but to fight in there entire life for better quality and better support and to fight every aspect of the system he really knows his tennis and how to put her heart into what he’s doing

I am a former student athlete of Westhill High School. Under Coach Patrik’s supervision, coaching and guidance I went on to win Westhill High School’s first Singles Tennis State Championship in 2008 again in 2009 and was Runner-up in 2010 all because of Patrik. Without his help, dedication and support, I would not have been able to get a full athletic scholarship to a top Division I university where I was able to represent my hometown of Stamford and more importantly my high school. I have never seen a person so dedicated to their job. He has influenced me in such a positive way. He is a true mentor and a man of great character. Without Coach Patrik, the students of WHS will miss out on a mentor and coach that cares more than anyone I know. He is truly the best person for this job and one of the best people I have ever met!!!

Patrik Vician is one of the best, most dedicated coaches Westhill ever had. Under his watch my daughter - Vanessa Petrini and son John Petrini , each became state champions ( singles and doubles) few years in a row. Please keep him at Westhill High and let him share his passion for the sport and the ability to coach upcoming champions! He is a man of great character and Westhill should be very happy to have someone like him. Please keep him in his 'home'! Thank you!

Patrik has been the tennis coach for both of our sons. He's a terrific individual and professional who is always willing to work hard in order to get the best out of his team. Representing the school tennis team has been one of the most memorable moments of our son's high school experience and it has a lot to do with Patrik's passion and dedication towards the sport. We definitely want to have him back as the Westhill High tennis coach.

Patrik was a tennis coach of my three sons for the last 15 years. He is very dedicated, hard working and responsible person with a passion for sport he shares with his students. Westhill High student tennis players and their parents need Patrik as a coach!

Patrik has been my coach for longer than I can remember, he has guided me throughout my life and has taught me many things throughout these years, he has shaped me to become a better player as well as a better person. It is necessary that Patrik comes back to Westhill.

My elder son had a great experience with Patrick. Now my younger one is in 9th grade, who wants to play tennis in spring. We would like to have Patrick as his coach. He is great with kids.

Patrik is a great role model and pushes you to be the greatest. He understands your strengths and weaknesses when on court. He analyzes your moves while playing with your opponent, so that he can give you pointers on how to do better next time.

Great coach who always makes himself available!

We found Patrik an outstanding tennis coach / instructor and hope that he will be reinstated at West Hill as the boys tennis coach. He cares genuinely about each of his students, he modifies his coaching style accordingly and makes learning tennis both fun and challenging. I have known Patrik for over 6 years. He taught our daughter from her first picking up a racquet...to her now playing college level tennis. Her love of the game and advanced tennis skills are very attributable to Patrik's teaching ability. It would be a loss for West Hill to lose such a passionate and talented coach.

Patrik is a great coach and WestHill needs him.

Patrik was the best coach I ever had. He knew how to win and have fun.

Patrik is a westhill legend and has always produced nothing short of excellence.
