The imprint that the coach leaves on a child in their first interactions with the racquet is crucial and determinant in how the child will experience the sport in later stages. Through this article we will expose the cognitive and emotional characteristics that we consider that the coach should know to contribute to a full tennis, social and emotional development of their students. All of them accompanied by suggestions for application to the court sessions.
