Beginner training plan
Your first lessonWe will have simple exercises and drills to see what level of tennis you are. I would love to know what are your goals in the next lessons and what you seek to improve. Then I can thoroughly examine what your current form, play style, level is to plan future lessons for you.
Lesson 2-3Based on the first lessons' discussion about your goals, I will have formatted custom lesson plans for you. For example, if you want to be able to have a better forehand, I will focus your lessons on form consistency, practicing, and doing drills that will require you to repeat actions to reinforce body memory. After each lesson, we will have a discussion on how you felt about the lesson to help me get an idea of how you feel with the lesson plan. The idea is to improve as you enjoy playing tennis.
Lesson 4-10Depending on your progress, I will slowly implement more challenging drills and games. Using the same example of having a better forehand, I will be challenging you to hit your forehand under different circumstances as opposed to doing repeated shots in the same location.
Lesson 11+After 11+ lessons, I am confident that you would have improved your play and achieved your goals. Further lessons will be more flexible and more dependent on whether your goals have changed or any additional goals you'd want to achieve. Tennis is a sport where you can always improve, no matter what level you are at.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonWith more advanced players, the first lesson is to specifically identify the weakest part of their game. I will go through all parts of the player’s game, forehand, backhand, volley, overhead, serves, stamina, etc. It's just as important to also talk to the player and see what their goals are, what are the areas they want to improve, so that on top of their weakness, we can improve the aspects of their game they want work on.
Lesson 2-3These lessons will be tailored training sessions with targeted drills and games to work on the weakness and targets the player wants to work on. These few lessons is to find out what kind of drills, games, exercises serves the player the best to improve.
Lesson 4-10With more time working on their game, I will make sure that the player is still working on the remainder of their game. Players of higher level learn more when they are competing. I will encourage the players to compete outside of training, so that they can put what they've been working on in practice.
Lesson 11+On top of working on form, footwork, strokes, it's also important to work on mental resilience in the game of tennis. Sometimes it's easy to let some bad points get to our heads, so it's crucial to for us to have that mental resilience to bounce back and play the next point.
