Description

"In this episode of the My Tennis Coaching Podcast, I tackle a critical issue in tennis coaching: Are we, as coaches, truly teaching, or are we just running through drills? Broadcasting from my car, this candid rant dives into my recent experiences working with coaches at various levels."


Key topics include:



  • Why coaching should be investigative, like detective work.

  • The overemphasis on technique at the expense of understanding player perception and behavior.

  • How ecological dynamics can transform learning and skill transfer.

  • Questioning traditional methods and the misconceptions about constraint-led coaching.


If you’re ready to rethink your approach to coaching and focus on what truly matters—understanding your players and fostering effective learning—this episode is for you.


Let’s keep the discussion going! Share your thoughts in the comments or on social media.
