The life of a tennis coach week 46-2010

Coaching Hours - 38
Sets played - 8
Training undertaken - 8 hours
Books read - 5 chapters
Rained off sessions - 1 (not bad!)

What a great week and my most productive since starting work at the club. Certainly my busiest yet!
Cold, wet, worn out but most busy and most enjoyable. I have set a goal to play at least 6 sets per week to get in match mode for next year and the vets tour. Any more is a bonus.

This blog in the midst of reading now reaches out to 24 Countries around the world, i hope you enjoy the articles, chats and extra bits i put in. Comment when you want and lets start some more interesting threads about coaching or playing.

I have managed to nail down another £900s funding for the club and working in schools which all helps to spread the word to the masses! Christmas tennis camp all set and sorted along with the kids club christmas party with my good self partaking in a half hour magic show slot. A sideline from my childhood days now spanning nearly 35 years lol, must join the magic circle at some stage!

I have started work on a Tennis Mind concept that will see fruition early 2011 based on psychology work for players, coaches and parents of players! I will bring you more news on this as soon as i can and it looks as though the start of a new lecturing career is due to start next year outside of what i used to do! Exciting times and as i said in an earlier addition the Winter is for taking stock and getting ready to reap in the Spring!

A great two weeks of around christmas planned of family time and then to hit 2011 with a bang! Seems a bit early but cant wait for the break to recharge the body and batteries!

One more week and my Mental Coaching Course i have been attending will have finished and that's another string to my bow! Amazing that at the age of 39 my learning has never stopped, i will be happy once i get my head around the Russian language again and get to speaking this again!

Will be back with more articles later

Enjoy

Andy
