Are our tennis players at the center of the process and are they the focus of decisions?
This essay shares insights that we consider relevant when thinking about long-term sport formation and development processes from the perspective of tennis players. We acknowledge that learning and development do not occur linearly, making each individual's journey of experiences unique. While there are no ready-made recipes that can cater to everyone, we have a series of guidelines that can assist coaches and sports agents in making their decisions accurately and effectively. Specifically, in this article, we will discuss some elements related to tennis initiation, the long-term sport development process, and the pursuit of significant results during this stage, aiming to train tennis players for high performance.
