PROFESSIONAL GRADE COACHING AND PROGRAMMING
TTA Practice Structure
There are 3 Aspects to On-Court Tennis Development
Private Coaching (10%)
Competitive/ On-Task Practice Time (70%)
TV makes us think that what it takes to be successful in tennis is beautiful groundstrokes, perfect shot placement, and out-hitting our opponent.
The Best Kept Secret in Tennis is that it’s way easier to be successful by letting your opponent make mistakes than going for winners ourselves.
Development comes from building from a place of consistency, not a place of perfection.
