Online Coaching & Support

What is Online Coaching & Support?

In the modern world we live in face to face time with players can be difficult due to a number of reasons, heavy tournament schedules, family and travel commitments not to mention pandemics.

Support

The OCS programme is not meant to replace having face to face time with players but support and enhance that work.

Flexibility

It also makes it possible for me to work with players in situations/times of the season where face to face sessions may not be possible.

Consistent help

I don’t believe just looking at a player’s technique and offering a critique is enough to effect a long term and lasting positive change in performance.

Regular contact

The most effective coaching in my experience has come through regular conversations, developing a clear understanding of what a player’s aspirations are and how they work best.

Reflection

Progress is made by having the space and time to regularly reflect together after periods of training and competitive play.
