Tennis and Talent Identification, Universal Coach Education, Parents Beware of Coach Promises to Sidestepping Injury Woes

At the very beginning of Beyond Top 10 Tennis (seven years after it was initially proposed), one of the more controversial topics I raised — but let’s be honest, there are a number of them, was around Talent Identification. But this was by no means a surprise given that the Book of focus was my very first Book that was published: The Secrets to Optimal Performance Success. A little known secret at this time was that despite this being my first Book, I had already competed my doctorate and was sitting on top of the underlying data and exhaustive work that went into my latest release and 12th Book to be published: How to Develop a Top 10 Tennis Ranking. 

As much as I wanted to share everything right then and there — in my first Book, what dawned on me was that I couldn’t. I mean, of course I could, but with the data sitting there and my doctorate being ticked off with a number of ‘world firsts’ and landmark findings (you get the gist), it was hard for someone who was ‘not’ sitting with the data and who hadn’t been there, in real time, piecing together what this ‘meant’ and with the enormity of literature that had been sifted through, to genuinely understand the true gravity before their eyes…

Discrete and Serial Skills: Restoring & Re-learning Movement in Tennis Players

Have you ever wondered why players who embark on achieving Championship success in the Junior ranks scarcely achieve the same results on the WTA and/or ATP tours? If the same Pathway is followed from the Junior ranks to the Senior ranks, the Grand Slam results would arguably be the same, however, this is rarely the case. The players who are fortunate enough to ‘win’ Junior Grand Slam Championships are seldom the ones to achieve this status once they’ve joined their respective tour. The irony here is that those who do not peak as soon or achieve ‘as much’ in their earlier years, are more often than not the ones who progress more steadily opposed to being ‘stuck’ at a certain level and inside a specific ranking range i.e. a plateau inside the Top 100 but higher than the Top 80…
