Tuesday, July 4, 2023 • Duration 38:53
This is Episode 15 of Beyond Top 10 Tennis and we have a look at the role of balance and what it really means to integrate this into a player's schedule.

This is Episode 14 of Beyond Top 10 Tennis and we delve into the varying connotations to descriptives of mindfulness that has in fact been around in training to practice loads for well over the past 20+ years! That's right, it's far from a new concept and merely something often overlooked or perhaps pushed aside for some when in fact it is so incredibly important to fundamental in a player's to athlete's training. Additional insights are then shared around goal setting and their direct alignment with this practice and how the power of questioning really is your super power (thanks mum!).

Athlete Development: accommodating the growing body
Episode 12
Thursday, June 22, 2023 • Duration 35:05
This is episode 12 of Beyond Top 10 Tennis and it is such an important topic to talk about as we look at training modification to a balanced consensus between the triangular relationship to ensure the player/athlete and parent/guardian are on the same page as well as the coach and how the acceptance and inclusion of developmental needs ensures that the work towards a Top 10 ranking stays a course to afford the player/athlete to head towards their initial ranking points before steadily ascending towards the Top 100 and Beyond.
