Welcome to the My Tennis Coaching Podcast, hosted by Steve Whelan. This podcast is dedicated to tennis coaches seeking to elevate their coaching game through the latest in ecological dynamics and constraint-led coaching practices. Each episode delves into innovative strategies, practical tips, and expert insights designed to build your confidence, expand your knowledge, and refine your techniques. Whether you’re a seasoned coach or just starting out, you’ll find valuable resources to help you challenge traditional methods and embrace player-centered approaches.
In this episode, I unpack a brilliant question from a top coach:
“What are the non-negotiables for representativeness in tennis—and can you trade some for others?”
We explore:
Why throw tennis isn’t representative (and what it teaches us)
The 6 core elements of representative learning design in tennis
The difference between looking like the game vs. functioning like the game
What coaches might be getting wrong when designing “game-based” sessions
How to balance exploration and transfer in your practices
If you’re serious about designing sessions that actually transfer to matches—this episode is a must.
