VIDA Tennis Academy
 Kane Dewhurst  Vince Dattoli |
Vida Tennis Academy is committed to each individual. There are many aspects to producing an all rounded tennis player as well as an all rounded person. Vida is dedicated to doing both, thus creating life opportunity. "The real great make you feel that you can become great" (Mark Twain). Vida Tennis believes that creating the correct environment for the individual is paramount to the development of the player. Maintaining balance in and out of training is also essential to keep the players minds stimulated, alert and active. Each individual player has different needs and requirements, therefore the correct environment for a player will differ slightly from person to person, but the underlying rationale is that they can continue to grow and develop their game in a holistic manner.
Teach what's essential
Encourage what's natural
Allow for the individual
Below are the four primary aspects that Vida Tennis focus on during their sessions:
TECHNIQUE
- using biomec principles to produce correct efficient movements, mechanics and actions
- large body parts drive the smaller body parts
- it is our belief that it takes a minimum of 10,000 repetitions to complete just one technique change in a closed skill environment. This is so it becomes automatic and will not break down under pressure in an open skill environment.
TACTICAL
- Vida philosophy encourages players to become a student of the game by understanding why, when and how things happen.
- it's our belief that you must know your own game before you can break down your opponents.
- routines and rituals, set plays and match analysis are emphasised
- to execute tactically a player must have both technique and physical attributes
PHYSICAL
- in a Vida private session movement is a key component.
- efficient and effective movement is essential to success and injury prevention. This also enables each shot to be executed with balance and posture.
- core strength, dynamic movement, speed, agility, explosive power and reaction time are all key ingredients in a successful player
MENTAL
- elite sports people often say that its 95% mental. Vida is of the same opinion.
- mental skills are continued to be trained and learnt in all types of private sessions
- we encourage all athletes to also seek professional assistance in this area as the importance of mental skills can not be underestimated.
