The evolution of coaching from a methodological perspective in tennis. Very insightful @ramargal82 and very clearly presented 🤯🤩 👏
Model based, game based, or constraints led? 🤔 – at Kalisz, Polska

CPD for coaches is more flexible and relevant than ever before. If you are ever "only here for the Credits"...you can now take reponsibility for your own learning...so don't come for the Credits...do what you want, or what you need.
