OUR METHODOLOGY FOR ALL CAMPS and TOURS!

• Understand the game of tennis and its strategical and tactical challenges
• Develop with the primary coach, comfortable and biomechanically effecient strokes
• Develop the ability of an individual style of play
• Develop the ability of solving problems independently
• Increase their tolerance to frustration
• Increase/maintain their level of self-esteem/confidence throught the achievments made
• Face and enjoy the sensation of challenge during competition
• Realise their capacity to build independence
• Learn via good demonstrations: players primarily learn through watching and imitating

PRACTICALLY SPEAKING THE OUR COACHES CAN FACILITATE THIS PROCESS BY DOING THE FOLLOWING:

• Use positive reinforcement (eg. stop the session when the player hits the ball correctly or makes the right decision rather than when the player misses the ball or makes the wrong decision)
• Emphasise performance rather than outcome
• REWARD EFFORT AND HARD WORK RATHER THAN TALENT
• Use guided discovery and effective questioning whenever appropriate
• Encourage buddy teaching where appropriate
• Build a team atmosphere where players are encouraged to help one another and help each other improve
• Build on strengths rather than highlighting weaknesses
• SET HIGH STANDARDS/QUALITY AND NEVER SETTLE FOR LESS!
