Training Philosophy

Implementing efficient mechanics as a foundation for technical development:
We understand that not all players on the tour share similar strokes, but most have a solid foundation that their strokes are formed upon. At Advantage Tennis Academy (ATA), we ensure players have a strong foundation that would help them develop their own unique style. A foundation for continuous improvement in their strokes throughout their careers. At ATA mastery is the goal. All of our on-court training promotes a mastery mindset.

No substitute for Matchplay experience!

Not only does Southern California provide a large number of tournaments within a short drive where the players get exposed to some of the greatest junior players in the US; ATA provides weekly analyzed/monitored match play and sets, providing players for plenty of opportunities to compete under pressure induced UTR ladders or no-pressure, skill building practice sets.

Time Management

All under one roof – less wasted time. Having a daily structured schedule allows players to balance and allocate enough time in each aspect of their day for Academics, Training, Competition and down time.

This allows them to take full advantage of their day and succeed as student-athletes.

Mentoring

We believe in building character and our ATA mentor program focuses on establishing proper habits, managing time, dealing with anxieties and goal setting. Interactive meetings and weekly correspondences with one of the ATA Tennis Professionals establishes a line of communication for our student athletes to voice their concerns, thoughts and experiences. Helping players grow emotionally and personally.

 

Periodization Training & Customized Tournament Plans

...based around each individuals needs. Players are different ages, have different goals, are at different development stages and therefore their sense of urgency differs from one another.

We identify three stages in their training and customize accordingly:

  • Training & Development Stage
  • Transition Stage (Pre-Competition)
  • Peak Performance (Competition)

 

“Player’s Entourage”

To succeed in an individual sport like tennis, it is important to create a support team around each player. The support team has common goals with players and each team member has a different role that is integral to their development. Players learn that when they compete they are not only representing themselves but their team. The team includes but not limited to a Head Coach, Hitting Coach, Fitness Coach, Mental Coach, peers, academic advisors, NCAA compliance and of course, Parents. This builds confidence in players, motivates them and empowers them to “Get Results”.

 

“Student Athlete”

Student first and athlete second. Players understand that to reach their true potential they must strive to succeed in every aspect of their lives. Success in Academics is directly correlated to success on the court.

Staying on track and doing well in academics allows the players to better focus on their tennis training. This is how players reach their true potential whether they choose College Tennis or a Pro Career.

Team Concept

Tennis is an individual sport. Makes it very lonely sport at times and this creates fatigue and burn out in players. At Advantage players are surrounded by like minded individuals with desire to improve on a daily basis. Players motivate each other in training and support each other in Competition. At ATA we are aware and focused upon maintaining players passions for the sport. With that, the burn-out chances are limited and the players can be truly pushed to their potential.
