Great coaching is about more than developing technique.
It is about understanding the person behind the player, how they build confidence, respond to feedback, stay engaged, and develop the habits needed to progress.
TCA is pleased to invite members to a new three-part online Coach Education Series with Sandra Zaniewska, former WTA player and current tour coach.
