The role of the mentor with young tennis players

In years gone by young players looking to make Professional Tennis a career were for the most part thrown out on the satellite circuit and told to fend for themselves. Most parents didn’t have the time to accompany their child for weeks on end nor the means to finance a travelling coach.

The result of this lack of guidance was a generation of late bloomers. In the last 20 years if you take out the hand full of freak players, it is rare to find a good pro less than 21 years of age where in Europe and South America it’s quite common.

These days it is commonplace to see the top players with an entourage of helpers and “go-fores” to see to their every whim but the fact is they still need to turn over huge money to cover them.

It’s easy to see that a little help whist travelling can take a huge load off young players shoulders, leaving them to concentrate on more tennis related activities.

The financial burden for parents has certainly not diminished but an attractive alternative to a travelling mentor is to have one at home. That way you can develop some of the equipment you’ll need to survive on the tour before you even leave home.

For a very reasonable fee you can take on a mentor who will provide you with the map that will guide you through to the day you leave home for the tour. By helping you to develop good habits, self-belief and routines, the mentor will also in a sense, be with you throughout the trip as well.

Primarily a mentor will give you the tools to take control of your own destiny. They feed you the truth serum early to establish what beliefs you have in yourself and then they find ways to move you toward those goals and then beyond.

The trust established through mutual achievement can catalyse an athlete’s ability to the point where they can play free of the mental baggage that players tend to drag around with them on court.

If you look at Lleyton Hewitt in his early days, you could really tell that he believed he was invincible. The brain helped him to train, the training helped his game, the game helped his brain and around it goes all the way to the top.

Secondly a mentor can help you develop things such as:

  • Pre match / post match routines
  • Healthy eating habits
  • Personalised training regimes
  • Personal hygiene advise (e.g. the challengers of travelling in India)
  • Travel routines (hotel/flight/ booking. Visas)
  • Acclimatisation
  • Budgeting
  • Tournament scheduling
  • Periodisation
  • Telephone pep talks
  • Injury care
  • Equipment managment

 

Mentors obviously work in close liaison with parents and coaches. Parents are often thrust into the tennis world with absolutely no previous experience and are expected to know what a “round robin” is, or where to get entry forms / draws etc. A mentor can walk both parents and players through all the processes that can be quite off putting especially when you’re nervous enough with just playing the match itself.

Mentors can be both a way to get knee deep into your sport, and on the other hand they can be the ones who see things from a distance, defiantly worth a go.

Learning How To Play Tennis

September 4th, 2008 Sekolah Tenis Posted in On The Court, Tenis Private, Tenis Senior No Comments »

Anyone who is considering tennis training will be happy to know that there are plenty of ways to learn how to play the game. Every way from the tennis court to the internet, the video store and even the classroom will prove to be beneficial for those wanting to learn how to play the great game of tennis. Prices will vary depending on the type of training method that is chosen, but can often be quite affordable. This is especially true of those who opt for learning at home through the use of videos or internet lessons. A professional tennis trainer, however, will likely be the most expensive way to learn but will provide a hands-on experience that none of the aforementioned options can.

If you choose to hire a tennis instructor, you will probably want to hire someone who has a lot of experience in either teaching or playing tennis. Or, if possible, find someone who has done both. During this training, you will begin to learn the various swings and in which situation each can be used. In the beginning, tennis may seem intimidating because of the physical activity that is involved, along with the need to have a very fast reaction to every situation. But, after a few lessons, you will be more familiar with the game and how to play it. Patience is the key to learning anything new and tennis is no different.

Even prior to hiring an instructor, some new tennis players may decide to learn some basics of the game before beginning the actual lessons. This can be accomplished by either purchasing books, videos or doing some research online. Either of these methods should provide an introduction to the game, the proper way to grip and swing the tennis racket, etc. With this information, any new tennis player will enter their learning phase with added confidence and will impress their instructor by how much they already know. Not to mention, anything that you can learn beforehand may end up saving you some money on the actual lessons.

With that being said, it’s important to know that there is nothing wrong with taking tennis lessons if you are a true beginner. Even if you have never held a tennis racket or held a tennis ball before, there is nothing to fear. Tennis instructors are there to help you to learn from scratch if that’s what you need. During your lessons, it will always be a good idea to have access to a tennis court and possibly even practice a little in between lessons.

Many tennis instructors work one-on-one with their students, while others prefer to educate to a group of individuals. Those who prefer to learn as much as possible, but without doing so with hands-on training may opt for online lessons. The only drawback is that this method does not provide actual practice, which can be sought separately by the learner. Friends and family can often provide valuable insight in helping one to learning how to play tennis without professional instruction.
