OUR COACHING PHILOSOPHY
Our principle methodology is to align independent thinking with performance
We help players develop independent thinking and uncover their own brilliance by seamlessly integrating the four core pillars of tennis learning:
- 🏃♂️ The Physical Pillar: The foundation of the entire process. Without a solid, fundamental athletic base, a player's potential will always be limited.
- 🎾 The Technical Pillar: Skills that flow naturally from your physical base. Developing correct technique opens up and dictates your tactical options.
- 🧠 The Tactical Pillar: Building game awareness and court understanding. This allows players to discover their true capabilities as they progress.
- 🛡️ The Mental Pillar: The ultimate stage. The ability to manage your skills, strategy, and learning process under the pressure of a competitive environment.
DEVELOPMENT CHECKLIST
The Four Pillars for competition
- Do you have good enough technique to take you forward into the full all court game ready for adult tennis?
- Do you have a game plan which can sustain you under pressure?
- Can you recognise when it is necessary to make alterations?
- Have you explored alternative strategies, trained them and have a good level of confidence to execute them under pressure?
- Can you physically sustain your game with stamina, strength, tenacity and determination to test your game when things are not going so well? Or do you fall off the ‘edge’ and end up playing a passive / defensive game of ‘safety’ with an unpredictable 50/50 win/loss outcome?
- So ask yourself - are you REALLY ready to enter ‘The Arena’?
