If you’re anything like me, you’ve spent countless hours scrolling online, searching for better drills, fresh ideas, or the latest research on skill acquisition. Youโve probably got a phone full of screenshots, a bookshelf stacked with coaching manuals, and an ever-growing list of bookmarked articles youโll โread later.โ
For years, I did the same. Iโd lose hours falling down rabbit holesโwatching coaching videos, reading research papers, and trying to figure out the best way to deliver high-quality, effective sessions without burning myself out.
And thatโs when I realized: there had to be a better way.
Thatโs why I created MyTennisCoaching.comโa one-stop coaching resource where Iโve stored all my best practice designs, videos, and knowledge in one place. No more wasting time searching. No more reinventing the wheel every session. Just practical, efficient coaching strategies that actually work.
The Struggle: Coaches Are Overworked and Under-Supported
Coaching isnโt just about standing on court feeding balls. Itโs lesson planning, mentoring, marketing, scheduling, communicating with parents, CPD training, and somehow managing to have a personal life too.
Yet, so many of us still waste valuable hours:
- Searching for session ideas.
- Tweaking and modifying drills to make them more engaging.
- Sifting through outdated coaching manuals that donโt reflect modern skill acquisition research.
And the worst part? CPD (Continuous Professional Development) is a mess.
- Most CPD courses are too expensive or time-consuming.
- They often focus on traditional methods that donโt transfer to match play.
- The information is scattered across different platforms, making it hard to find what you actually need.
I knew if I was going to stay in this profession long-term, I needed a more efficient way to manage my timeโboth on and off the court.
How I Stopped Wasting Time and Started Coaching Smarter
Instead of scrolling, searching, and stressing, I built MyTennisCoaching.comโa coaching academy designed to:
โ
Save time by keeping all my best practice designs and drills in one place.
โ
Provide real-world, game-based training ideas that actually help players improve.
โ
Deliver modern, evidence-based coaching strategies without the fluff.
This isnโt just another collection of drillsโitโs the exact framework I use to streamline my sessions, maximize learning, and reduce my workload.
3 Time-Saving Strategies for Busy Coaches
Here are a few things Iโve learned along the way that helped me go from burnout to balance:
1. Stop Reinventing the Wheel
Before every session, I used to spend way too much time designing new drills, looking for fresh ideas, and tweaking session plans. The reality? Players donโt need new drills every sessionโthey need consistency and game-like situations.
๐ Solution: I now keep a go-to bank of adaptable drills. Instead of making new ones, I adjust constraints, scoring, or objectives within the same core exercises. This makes planning faster, simpler, and more effective.
2. Automate and Systemize
Coaching isnโt just about on-court time. The admin sideโscheduling, emailing parents, managing paymentsโcan drain hours every week.
๐ Solution: Set up automated reminders, email templates, and pre-planned training cycles. I now batch my admin tasks into a dedicated time slot instead of doing them randomly throughout the week.
3. Ditch the Outdated CPD Approach
I used to pay for expensive coaching courses that covered nothing new or sit through CPD sessions that felt like a box-ticking exercise. The problem? Most traditional coach education is still stuck in outdated, linear coaching models.
๐ Solution: I built MyTennisCoaching.com to be a continuous, real-world coaching resourceโso I donโt have to wait for an annual course to get better. Now, I have ongoing access to modern coaching strategies, and Iโm constantly improving without losing hours on unnecessary courses.
