In the earlier years of tennis, mental resilience and psychological skills were often overlooked or deemed secondary to physical prowess. However, as the sport became increasingly competitive and the margins between victory and defeat grew narrower, tennis professionals and coaches began to recognise the profound impact of mental state on an athlete's ability to succeed. This realisation marked the initial phase of incorporating psychology into tennis. #sportpsychology #tennispsychology #tennisdevelopment

With the Olympic games now well underway, many commentators and voices on social media are discussing tapering. By effectively integrating a taper into their training program, athletes can ensure they are physically and mentally primed to perform at their best when it counts the most. However, as athletes reduce their training volume and intensity, they may experience a range of emotional and mental struggles that can impact their confidence and performance. It’s important athletes and coaches acknowledge this as they go through the process of tapering #olympics #paris2024 #tapering

The evolution of sport over the past few decades has seen a significant shift towards a more scientific and specialised approach to athlete development. In the past, athletes often relied on a single coach or a small team to address all aspects of their training and preparation. However, as the understanding of sports science has advanced, the need for specialised expertise in various areas of an athlete's development has become increasingly apparent. Today, elite athletes benefit from the support of a multidisciplinary team of experts, each dedicated to a specific aspect of their training and well-being. #coaching #athletedevelopment #multidisciplinaryteam
