Hello to all!

First off, we would like to welcome back Yves and Patrica. As you know, they went to the French Open. As coaches and as tourists. If you get a chance to trap them, feel free to ask them about their trip and their experiences at the French. They would be happy to share some observations of what they saw players doing and what the game of tennis is bringing. You can also chat with Justin and Isabelle as they wondered the site scouting players as well.
This week, we have a busy week for our group of players. we have lots of OFSAA contenders. this is happening Monday-Wednesday, we we will be having players come and go depending on their matches and results. Good Luck to all! Due to this we will be having open spots for make ups throughout the week. If you need to make up classes or missed one because of weather, let me or Drago know and we can accommodate that this week.
Looking ahead at the weather, there is currently a chance of rain on Thursday, with this in mind we will be gearing the program content for a 3 day week and if we get tennis on Thursday, we will use it as a bonus.
this weeks goal will be to be better players outdoors. Dealing with the elements better and with a more receptive mindset. not letting the wind get the better of us emotionally and mentally and learning how sometimes just getting a ball in play in tough conditions is enough.
The idea that we always want the ball to do what we want it to do is great in theory, but sometimes, other factors play a role in the outcome. this week we anticipate sunny days with higher wind conditions, this will give us the added challenge of not just selecting our shots but at the last minute readjusting that decisions and altering the plan. we will be discussing how to play with and against the wind. What some tactics are for it and how we can technically adjust to help with in the conditions. ie. the different tosses we can have based on the suns position and how to adjust our timing, motion and goal in order to get it in play.
Change and adjustments are a key part of the game. Adapting on the fly, recognizing short term patterns and habits and using them while they are available are all very important skills to have while competing, this week we will explore some of these challenges while continuing to work on our consistency, stamina and positive mental approach to the game.

lets continue to work hard, cheer on our fellow players at the various events throughout the week and have fun,

see you on the courts.....
