This course will expand coaches’ understanding of the specific elements that make coaching ‘performance coaching’.

Coaches will enhance their knowledge and skills, both theoretically and practically, across the following areas:

• Learn the standards to set on court with players across all areas of the performance coaching principles
• Explore the routes to becoming an elite player and how to keep all options open for your players on their journey
• Understand and practice fundamental coaching principles that underpin performance coaching
• Learn and practice the go-to drills that top British players, like Cam Norrie and Emma Raducanu, use to develop their own games
