MoreLong description:
A Constraints-Led Approach to Coaching Tennis presents a new evidence-based approach to develop and train tennis players. Coaching philosophy, technique, tactics, physical development, and mental strength, pertaining to beginners and professionals, are covered. This text bridges the gap between theoretical principles from within the most recent research and its practical application.
Included are real-world examples of how different sets of constraints may be manipulated in order to develop more adaptable, skilled athletes. The reader will be challenged to create athlete-centered activities using variability, adaptability, and self-organization that guide individual athletes to find their own adaptable movement solutions.
A Constraints-Led Approach to Coaching Tennis is an essential read for all tennis coaches, undergraduate students, physical education teachers, and those working within the growing racket sports industry.
"This book provides a sound theoretical model of learning and its practical application in the coaching of tennis."
Brendan Moy, Associate Professor, Queensland University of Technology, Australia
