Where it came from? • The Technical Tactical Model I created came from numerous sources including – • Tennis Canada LTAD • Tennis Ireland LTAD • LTA, Coach Education (2012) • Smith, S (1995) Coaching Tennis Successfully • Grosser, M. & Schonborn, R., (2002) Competitive Tennis for Young Players
Taken From Tennis Ireland - Technical development Core Characteristics Technical excellence achieved, all skills are robust and no mechanical flaws exist to jeopardize their performance under stress. Able to develop high racquet velocities(horizontal and vertical) but also able to vary rhythm and manipulate tempo from all court positions and on all surfaces. Able to improvise, irrespective of situation or surface. Able to direct all strokes to all court locations.
