Very proud of these young players travelling so much over half term break. Improvements being noted by parents, national coaches and most importantly themselves!

With remarkable talent coming out of our Tennis Academy 🎾 we thought it high time to speak to the coach himself, Simon Pender, about what makes our leading tennis programme so valuable for young athletes.

"The best cultures come from the coaching staffs that are the best demanders.
There are certain non-negotiables.
And those eventually will be called standards.
And our kids are holding each other accountable now.
That's when you now you've got a great program."

It is disappointing to read this today.
Done some work in some really high performance cultures this week(cannot name for confidentiality reasons) and we all agreed the mess we are in trying to unravel different aspects of understanding, clarity of roles and support around young peoples sporting journey.
Misconceptions, lack of understanding of development, incorrect contexts, societal impact all playing a part to name but a few reasons for this.
In this case some excellent coaching practise being viewed as a lack of passion and not doing enough! (Seen that over here as well).
We all need to be better, be proactive, be brave, be open, be honest, open up conversations, build better relationships and support each other in our roles in the best interests of young people.
Here at WWPIS we are trying to play our part in this.....

My very first question when I started this page was ‘whose dream really is it?’
Almost 18 months later, discussions with parents, coaches, sporting bodies and academy players have led me to believe parental influence is still the main driver.
Are we brave enough to admit it?

You think lack of action by @atptour doesn’t mean anything?
Think again
