#SoulTennisPhilosophy
We believe that practicing these 5 elements every day in a comprehensive way, improve a tennis players's performance on a consistent basis.
The philosophy of academy based on five principles:
The philosophy of academy based on five principles:
We have a goal of hitting a minimum of 2000 strokes every day. If a child starts to play tennis from the age of 5-6 years and his volume gradually increases, by the age of 10 years his body is already adapted to the volume of 2000 strokes. When the body is growing actively, and the coordination abilities of children and young people may deteriorate, for this is necessary to "find" the contact point every day, to repeat and "clean" the shots, after 18 years the volume of tennis may gradually decrease and volume of fitness increase, but in any case the priority in working even with ATP and WTA players is the daily volume of tennis on the court.
1. Reducing the risk of injury
2. Less energy required to make a shot
3. Greater stability of strokes
4. Higher power of strokes
5. Ability to perform stable strokes even under the pressure of a critical score during a match

Tennis is a game. We try to get players into the habit of playing for a score every day. The habit of competing. We strongly believe that technical, tactical, mental skills should be practiced in the game. It is also very important to be able to adapt to different styles of play, different levels of players, in different scoring formats and situations. That's why in our training sessions on the score there is always a change of sparring partners of all levels, a change of scoring format, a change of courts, a change of balls.
1. Fitness under 16-17 years old
2. Fitness after 16-17 years old
Under 16-17 years old, 90% of the work should take place on the court, first you need to expose your strokes and learn how to play tennis. Ideally, work on coordination, footwork, speed, agility, should take place on the court. The most effective fitness under 16 off-court is running, gymnastics, and swimming.
After age 16-17, the percentage of on-court work may be reduced to 70%, the priority of off-court fitness work is running and strength training. One of the main goals of fitness during this period, injury prevention.

In our philosophy, mental training should take place on the court or in the gym, always in as close an atmosphere as possible, we introduce mental preparation to athletes in training and drills. Focus, emotional control, ways to find internal and external motivation, the ability to get through critical match moments, the ability to relax and gather, etc. All of these and many other aspects of mental preparation an athlete undergoes while practicing on the court and while communicating with a coach. Development of mental skills should be accompanied by specially selected exercises and words. But once again we want to note that it is necessary to focus on mental preparation of tennis players only after they are ready technically and physically.
