What are our mental coaching students saying?
“Maggie had such a great weekend. As always, after she works with you she just seems more grounded and focused. She’s less likely to look around and get distracted during her match. She’s more focused on one point at a time. Also, as a parent, I’ve learned to encourage her process goals and not outcomes. Consequently, she played well and won her first doubles match, upsetting a seeded team in a really really close match!”
~Katherine Johnson Cannata, Maggie’s mother

Patrick,
I’ve been teaching tennis for over a decade to adults with average abilities (no up and coming pros here), which are probably the most difficult type of students extant. Most of them play in a USTA league. and all of them are interested in learning to play better tennis, and as such are motivated.
I was not surprised at anything in your video in the least. If fact in my hour and a half biweekly lessons, my assistant and I drill them for half of the lesson and have them play practice sets for the remainder.
As an instructor with pretty astute observation talents, I cannot find anything in your first video to disagree with. Remarkable.

Tom:
Thanks for the comments. I didn’t say every tennis instructor would disagree. I just think many instuctors are more comfortable teaching stroke technique than tactics.

Dear Dr.Cohn
This video was an eye opener to implement a successful practice game to a match.
I am coaching my 15 yr old son and do definitely hope that this will bring about the desired results.
I look forward to the other videos too!
Very grateful to you and with warmest regards
