The Coach The Coaches 2025 event was an inspiring weekend focused on learning and innovation in tennis coaching. Featuring esteemed speakers, it emphasized evidence-based approaches and collaborative discussions. Key themes included perception in gameplay, research-informed coaching, and adapting skills. The experience underscored the importance of continuous learning and community in coaching excellence.

The podcast episode discusses myths surrounding the Constraints-Led Approach (CLA) in tennis coaching, featuring coach John Cvitanovic’s successful adoption of CLA as a new coach. He emphasizes that CLA fosters player exploration and independence without rigid lesson plans, challenging traditional coaching methods and advocating for a more human-centered coach education.

In the final podcast of 2024, the coach reflects on a transformative year filled with achievements and challenges, emphasizing the importance of goal setting. Key highlights include speaking at national conferences, relaunching a comprehensive coaching website, and evolving social media efforts. Looking ahead, the coach aims for international engagements and fostering collaborative coaching communities.
