  5. A bit more detail on the 3 key slides of: • On court • Off court • Super coaching

  6. Off Court Learning opportunity is not confined to the tennis court and lessons only. Take on board the regular practice of the academic school and set ‘homework’ between each lesson. Replacing the term ‘homework’ with ‘tennis challenge’ might be more exciting and more appealing to younger players. These off-court exercises and activities provide coaches with additional and alternative ways to help players learn outside of the tennis court and help the player to grow and develop self-responsibility as well as enabling the coach to explore player motivation. They can be delivered so that they have a homework feel to them.

  7. On Court This is a compendium of on-court activities, drills and games for you to use with a variety of ages and standards of players. These on-court activities will allow players to experience and train specific skills. The key to effective use of on-court drills and practices can be encompassed in saying that it should never be described as ‘Nice drill…. shame about the relevance’

  8. Super Coaching This is going beyond the already admirable quality of having a large personal store of relevant on and off court interventions. Super Coaching is occurring when the players’ “light bulbs” are flashing on repeatedly or helping to get that ‘penny to drop’ in record short time. There is no objective definition or dividing line which separates Super Coaching from other coaching. It is a subjective judgment and possibly elicits from the observer or witness a feeling or comment of “now that is really great, really special, I wouldn’t have thought of that!” ‘A great coach is a great psychologist’. It is often the ‘how to do’ skills rather than the ‘what to do’ skills that make the critical difference between good coaches and great coaches. This could be termed the art of coaching as it involves the skilful implementation of knowledge. Knowing what to deliver, how much to deliver, when to deliver it and how to deliver it are essential in being skilful at helping others.
