Abstract

Working with the mental side of a player’s game is often seen as an area that is challenging, warrants caution, and is perhaps even a daunting task when compared with making technical or tactical changes. This article outlines how a coach can approach such issues with confidence and competence, using the method adopted from the ‘Tennis Coach’s Toolkit’ mental skills development resource. Using the three pillars of effective coaching, Create Environment (CE), Effective Working Relationships (EWR) and Steepening The Learning Curve (SLC), this article outlines the process by which a coach can maximise not only their player’s potential, but also their own potential.
