Explore proven learning strategies that enhance players’ comprehension, application, and retention of new skills. 

We all want to see improvement in whatever we do, and tennis is no exception – it’s one of the top three reasons that players return again and again to coaching sessions. Improve players faster with 4 learning strategies has been developed by Lorna Woodroffe, former British no.1 and Level 4 coach, and Chris Peet, Level 5 coach who worked with three junior national champions. 

On completion of the course, you will: 

• Understand how to use errorless learning, scaffolding, external focus, and constraints-based coaching, in coaching to give players what they need. 
• See how academic research and educational psychology translates to practical, on-court exercises that yield rapid improvement in players. 
• Take away a bank of creative drills to apply in your sessions, as well gaining the knowledge to create your own exercises and drills. 

“Knowing your players and being able to vary learning strategies gives you more tools to use to work with the pupil in a positive way.”
