2021/06/10

Every school has one - a PTA or parent teacher association but practically no tennis clubs have a CTO (club tennis association), a CPA (club pro association), or a PCA (player club organization. Why not?The PTA addresses collective concerns of the parents relative to that of the schools ongoing activities. The PTA connects parents and teachers to address their concerns and so could a CTO, CPA, or a PCA. The PTA requests additional teacher support or school support and so could a CTO, a

Is it really just the mental game of tennis or is there an emotional game as well?When we make a mistake that costs points in a game or looks silly to our coaches and practice partners are we really just thinking a thought or are we feeling something as well?If we sing along to a rock song are we just thinking about the words that were said or are we caught up in the emotion of the beat, harmony, or melody and just going with the flow?In both playing tennis or singing along to a rock song,

Where’s the transition plan for all tennis players? A plan developed from a careful and considerate evaluation of each players emotional, mental, physical, and tactical abilities to play the game of tennis? A plan which provides a path forward for each individual tennis player to pursue based on their results. Without analysis and conclusion a path and a plan can’t be proposed and a player is left to guess and either overestimate or underestimate their potential in tennis. If a child

Do You Really Need To Be A Protein Machine?

Protein is deified in our culture as THE key element to our diets that will affect our energy, health, and performance levels, but is it really or is it yet another “trend” to latch onto for those in search of a simple answer to complex nutritional needs we human beings and especially we human being tennis players?In this episode, we spark a nutritional conversation about protein in the hopes of providing a different perspective on the cultural protein push.

Shouldn’t We Be Asking Questions of The People Who Play?

Tennis Rockers ·

2021/04/20

It’s pretty obvious, tennis coaches and clubs stopped asking questions a long time ago. Questions about their membership demographics, members unspoken needs, the clubs current services approach, and the way all those issues work together to build meaning for the coaches, clientele, and the club. Meaning is the magnet which draws people in and makes them want to come back. But in today’s transactional and mechanistic approach we have favored getting it done and making money to building

When was the last time you thought about the relationship with your coach or student? When was the last time you thought it through to make it better for the both of you?Maybe you don't want to - things are good. If you're the coach, hey, they come to lessons, seem happy or somewhat engaged and I get paid - done. If you're the student, they teach me, it's not always easy, but I learn something and sometimes it's really fun.Kept that way, it works - but on what basis?The relationship

Could We Avoid Burnout By Making Players Aware Of The...

2021/04/11

What leads to player burnout?Everyone talks about burnout in the general sense, but not a lot of people put specificity around it.Maybe, in part, burnout comes from not telling players the whole story - both at the beginning and during their individual journeys - of what it takes to learn the skills involved in the sport of tennis? If players were more informed, they might have time to “think” about their “feelings” about tennis and in turn work through this complex mix of human byproduct

Tennis Rockers ·

2021/04/03

A tennis expert (i.e. a commentator, a club owner, or a pro) wouldn't consider or recommend adding a reading session as part of your on court tennis class - likely because reading story or a work of non-fiction is something that's done in a library or classroom, not on a court. A tennis expert would question why and likely pose objections along the lines of:* Customers/students are paying for movement, not reading.* The court isn't setup like a library or classroom, how would this even

Every day, food product companies inundate us with their products messages which bend and stretch the meanings of the very words they use. Words such as "healthy", "organic", "100% real _____ included", "__ servings of fruits and vegetables", and a "full serving of ______ in every package." They are the words consumers often rely on to decide whether or not to put it into their cart. Promotional words used to "assist" and "persuade" shoppers to purchase their product. Promotional words

Could A Tennis Club Nutrition Class Build Awareness...

2021/03/24

We often don’t think about diet or nutrition unless we face constant fatigue or are in a health crisis. And, our social and work cultures reinforce consumption of “food products” and “convenience foods” so we can “do more”, “keep going”, “make our deadlines”, and “cross things off our list”. We have all normalized these food products and convenience foods which are rife with chemicals, enriched flour, oils, preservatives, salts, and sugars but we are feeling and seeing the after effects

Sabotage or Simply Inserting Their Own Impression?

2021/03/18

We've all heard it from someone else - what another colleague said to someone else about you or your work - and it never feels good. In fact, it can often feel like ... sabotage. But is what another person said really sabotage or just an attempt to insert their own impression (find a seat at the social table) or even fill their roster and put food on their table?The tennis court can be a place of heated contention and in this episode, we deconstruct misinterpreting other people’s actions

The 100 Year Effect From Diet And Nutrition

Tennis clubs have the perfect opportunity to talk about nutrition - it's the fuel that will either feed you or lead you to failure on the tennis court and in the afterworld of physical recovery - so why won't they make it a core mission?Maybe it's because the clients don't play enough to feel the effects of poor nutrition on their performance and recovery.So, if you play for only a couple hours a week, you probably won't feel the effects of eating a diet rich in flour, oils, preservatives,

He kept playing and started stringing, so much so that he got his certification and started a small stringing business. In the ensuing decades, Mark coached his own son from scratch to a D1

Why Isn't Tennis Instituting A Self-Talk Coaching...

2021/03/04

Self-talk is pervasive in our sport, yet it is not something we learn to deal with in a tennis lesson or is talked through with coaches or other players. Self talk is part of the emotional journey of tennis yet it gets marginalized and trivialized in "blooper" style Youtube videos and talked about in hushed commentator tones. We know this needs to change. It seems to us that there are at least five types of self-talks that people put themselves through at any one point in a game, lesson,

Recognizing Emotional Arousal States

We need to do a better job of recognizing our own emotional arousal states and the emotional arousal states of others to get the best out of ourselves, each other, and what we're trying to do. What happens when a player or person is over-aroused? You're too jacked and you overhit causing it to go into the net or out of the park. What happens when a person or player is under-aroused? You can't bring your best of anything and you set a low standard for yourself. To play at your best but

It's no secret the dropout rate for youth tennis players over the age of 15 is over 60%. And while a lot of people are trying to figure out how to keep people from leaving, we're not. It's ok for people to leave tennis. They've spent their time, taken lessons, and maybe even played a few tournaments. Let them move and in turn let's trust that some of them will want to come back!If we make peace with this perspective and prune the ranks of the tennis tree, we allow for new growth in the
