This approach didn’t just change my sessions...it changed my career 👉 https://mytenniscoaching.com/tennis-coach-newsletter/ What if you didn’t have to run repetitive drills to see real progress? 👉 https://mytenniscoaching.com/drills-to-skills-fast-track-to-match-success/ The GB player pathway promises to find and develop the nation’s most talented juniors. But from what I’ve seen—and what many coaches and parents are experiencing—it’s not working the way it should.In this live session, I’m pulling back the curtain.Based on a recent YouTube video from a Parents Community Q&A with the NGBS Head of Performance Coach Development, I’ll break down the hidden flaws in the current system and why it’s leaving many talented players behind.We’ll explore:🎾 The dangers of early selection and fixed “aspirational standards”🎾 How the system favours ranking chasers over adaptable learners🎾 Why are late developers quietly being filtered out🎾 The tension between control, funding, and genuine development🎾 What an effective, ecological pathway could look like instead🎾 Whether you're a coach, a parent, or a player, his is a conversation we need to have.Want to create live streams like this?
