Psychology services for tennis academies

Coach education, player workshops and parent sessions, delivered on site and around your court times.

Sound familiar?

Players who train brilliantly and compete badly
Tension accumulating across a match until decision-making goes. It usually gets treated as a technical issue because that is what there are tools for.

The talented one who is too nice on court
Nobody has told them that competing hard on court and being a good person off it can sit alongside each other.

A player who has gone flat
Often depletion. The instinctive response is more work, which tends to accelerate it. This is the player you lose at seventeen.

Coaches out of their depth
A player says something at the end of a session and the coach has no idea what to do with it.

Nowhere to send someone
Safeguarding procedures allow a concern to be reported. They rarely provide a route to a player actually being treated.

Starting with coaching staff

A young player controls almost nothing about their own environment. Their schedule, their coaching, the expectations on them, the car journey home. Adults hold all of it.

Coaching staff see these players four or five times a week. They hold the conversation in the fifteen minutes after a defeat, and they are the first to notice when something has changed. Very few have had training for either.

Players move on. Coaching staff remain, so anything taken from a session continues to benefit every player who comes through afterwards.

14 sessions to choose from

Each runs 25-45 minutes. We build a 90 minute session from 2 or 3, around whatever you’re dealing with that term.

Five modules

Reading a player before you lose them

For players:
Six modules, age-banded

Competing hard, playing fair
What to do between points

Supporting ambition without adding to the load
When your child stops enjoying it.
