Abstract

This paper highlights the roles of a tennis coach on the professional tour and the key characteristics of ‘life on the road’. The paper further proposes that different mind-sets underpin positive and negative experiences as a tour coach, and offers suggestions to facilitate and enhance positive experiences. These experiences are critically significant given they impact on a coach’s well-being, job satisfaction and performance (Gallwey, 2009).
