My First Pro Player + Most Tennis Academies Have it All Wrong
At the time, it felt like I waited an eternity to begin working with a professional player. But within 6 months of completing my degree, I was coaching on the WTA tour.
I was hired as the head S&C coach and the assistant tennis coach to the 2nd ranked Canadian female player (at the time). Despite my best efforts, I was still at the mercy of the head coach.
Practices weren’t what I expected and a lot of it was ‘the same old song and dance’. On the physical side, we had 2 weeks of pre-season (yeah you heard that well). This player competed 11 months of the year (practicing 5-6 days a week during ‘off weeks’) and I was expected to work wonders with her athletic development in the span of 2 measly weeks.
Not only was the programming frustrating, the travel was wearing on me. Within a year I called it quits. In hindsight, maybe I should have stayed the course longer… but I wanted to make a bigger impact, and it just wasn’t happening.
Fast forward a year and I restarted coaching at a tennis academy. We had some really talented junior players and the coaching staff was very eager to have a ‘fresh perspective’.
Early on, things seemed to be going in the right direction. I was able to make my mark on some of the players, incorporating the type of training I thought would accelerate their development. From plyometrics to an early exposure to lifting weights - the kids were all getting better… until…
Nationals rolled around and one of our academy players made the finals of U18s. It was the first time in a long-time that a ‘non-Federation’ player made it to the championship match. And while he put up a good fight, he was outmatched…
Not from a physical perspective, rather from a skill standpoint. The other player was just better at tennis. Period.
I was left scratching my head.
These are just a handful of the lessons I’ve accumulated over the years as both a coach AND a tennis player myself. And the reason I got into this field was to help tennis players avoid the same mistakes I made. I want to see players actually improve.
