As parents, many of us invest time, money, and trust into tennis coaching with one simple expectation:
👉 Our child should improve, stay healthy, and enjoy the sport.
Yet, many parents in Mumbai quietly share the same frustrations:
- The child plays well in practice but struggles in matches
- Fatigue sets in early during tournaments
- Repeated shoulder, knee, or back complaints
- Confidence drops under pressure
- Progress seems slow despite regular coaching
The truth is — technical coaching alone is not enough.
What most young tennis players lack is tennis-specific body conditioning.
What Young Tennis Players Actually Need (Beyond Coaching)
Tennis is a physically and mentally demanding individual sport, especially for growing children. Without the right physical foundation, even good technique breaks down under match pressure.
1. Match-Level Stamina (Not Just Fitness)
Tennis matches can last 1–3 hours, often in Mumbai’s heat and humidity.
Children need:
- Sport-specific endurance
- Ability to recover between points and sets
- Energy management throughout long matches
Running laps is not the answer. Tennis requires interval stamina, built around real match movements.
2. Strength for Growing Bodies (Injury Prevention First)
Young players are prone to:
- Shoulder and elbow strain
- Knee and ankle injuries
- Core instability
What’s required is:
- Age-appropriate strength training
- Core stability and balance
- Controlled movement, not heavy weights
This keeps players safe, strong, and consistent.
3. Flexibility & Mobility for Better Movement
Poor flexibility leads to:
- Restricted strokes
- Slower footwork
- Higher injury risk
Tennis conditioning must improve:
- Hip and ankle mobility for footwork
- Shoulder and spine flexibility for strokes
- Recovery through proper stretching routines
4. Mental Strength to Handle Match Pressure
One of the biggest concerns parents raise is:
“My child performs well in training but freezes during competition.”
Tennis is mentally tough because the child is alone on court.
Players need to learn:
- How to reset after mistakes
- How to stay calm during tie-breaks
- How to manage expectations and pressure
Mental conditioning is not optional — it’s essential.
