How a Young Tennis Player Should Train 🎾

Building a great tennis athlete isn’t just about hitting balls on the court. It starts with developing strength, power, coordination, and movement skills the right way.

Leo has been training with us for over a year, consistently mastering the fundamentals before progressing to more advanced exercises. Through attention to technique, hard work, and steady progression, he has built the foundation needed to safely develop power and explosiveness.

In this session, Leo is working on:
💪 Front Squats
⚡ Band-Resisted Power Jumps
🏃 Hurdle Jumps
🔥 Isometric Chin-Up Holds
💥 Push-Ups
💪 Aqua Bag Woodchoppers

Every exercise has a purpose, helping him become a stronger, faster, and more resilient athlete on the court. The goal isn't to rush the process—it's to build athleticism step by step and create long-term success.

If you're looking to help your young athlete develop strength, speed, confidence, and performance the right way, we'd love to help.

Strength isn't just about lifting heavier. It's about moving better.

Ozzie focused on controlled reps, staying balanced through the squat, keeping his chest up, and driving straight through the movement. Slowing the way down and exploding on the way up builds strength, power, and confidence where it matters most.

The small details create the biggest improvements.

Train with purpose. Progress with consistency.

🧠 Building Mental Toughness in Young Athletes

Mental toughness is not about being the loudest or strongest athlete in the room. It’s about learning how to stay focused, push through discomfort, and keep showing up consistently even when things get difficult.

Here are 4 exercises we use to help develop resilience in young athletes 👇

1. Isometric Split Squat
Holding difficult positions teaches athletes how to stay composed under pressure and push beyond discomfort.

2. Isometric Chin Up
This exercise challenges both physical and mental endurance, helping athletes build confidence through adversity.

3. Goblet Squats
As athletes gradually increase weight over time, they begin to realise they are capable of far more than they first believed.

4. Push Ups
Mastering the basics develops discipline, patience, and an understanding that long term progress comes from consistent effort.

Mental resilience is developed through small wins, repeated challenges, and learning how to keep going when things feel hard.
