The Prodigy Maker Show’s recent episode discussed how coaches can give bad tennis lessons and how parents and players can identify red flags.
The episode covers issues in group classes and private lessons for Red, Orange, and Green 10U, including 350 ball carts, pot-bellied coaches, technical-only or tactical-only coaches, and coaches who use their phones during lessons.
The show also touches on bad tennis camps and academies, highlighting the importance of having a director on the court, professional fitness training, and appropriate coach-to-student ratios. Chris, a world-leading expert on tennis technique and biomechanics, shares his insights on the matter.
