The Ryan Redondo Tennis School Curriculum was created to provide a platform for personal development using tennis as the medium. This platform has been utilized on the junior beginner/novice level all the way to the ATP level. We believe that whole person coaching is the purest and most effective way to use sport to grow as a competitive athlete and most importantly as a person. Whole person coaching provides a pathway to train your body, mind, and spirit process and apply practices that will enrich your competitiveness and your life. We teach a discipline that uses the physics of the body, mental and emotional practices, and a variety of methods of habit and behavior training. Nevertheless, if the Full Curriculum is not what you are looking for, you can choose which lesson's below will fit your needs.
- 1.5 Hour Individual One on One Lesson - the most effective lesson to get your game to the next level, the 1.5 Hour Individual will allow for you to have the ample amount of time to create positive habits as well as bring other parts to the curriculum into the lesson. By scheduling a 1.5 Hour Individual, distributive and deliberate drills and tactics can be practiced, along with the traditional blocked training method.
- 1 Hour Individual Lesson - the most common lesson time and method of learning tennis, the 1 Hour Individual will provide a quick structured practice that will focus on tennis technique, repetition, and footwork. Other lessons from the Full Curriculum can still be practiced and emphasized in the lesson.
- 30 Minute Individual Lesson - blocked practice is best used in this amount of time. Whether one is wanting a specific block of service practice or volley practice, this is a great option for the beginner or for those that want to get out for a second time throughout the week.
- 1.5 Hour Competitive Lesson - this lesson is designed to have 2 students on court with a coach. This lesson will allow students to compete and simulate competitive/tournament matches. Tactics, emotional and mental training, and mindset training are strongly emphasized in this lesson.
- 1 Hour Competitive Lesson - this lesson is designed to have 2 students on court with a coach. This lesson will allow students to drill and emphasize block practice with coach focusing on technique, footwork, mindset, and fixed situations.
- 45 Minute Strength and Conditioning Lesson - develop a strong foundation to support your body and mind as you develop on the tennis court and life in general. This lesson is designed for the student that wants to get more physically fit to accommodate a more competitive and year long tennis season. As the sport of tennis itself is a great physical workout, safety of muscles, joints, and bones is very important to train. This lesson is part of the Full Curriculum.
- 30 Minute Mental Training Lesson - it is said that the game of tennis is mostly mental. We agree with that, so what are you going to do to make sure you are mentally fit. This lesson will provide structured practices to bring about more focus/concentration, awareness, and acceptance to your everyday life and your game. This lesson will be taught either on or off court depending on coaches discretion. This lesson is part of the Full Curriculum.
- Individual Emotional Sports Psychology Session - perhaps the most important piece to peak performance in life, not just tennis, is emotional management. This lesson is taught on court and only after the student has worked with our professional Emotional Psychology advisor. This practice itself is powerful and a mandatory part to the Full Curriculum.
- 30 Minute Meditation Lesson - This meditation lesson will be taught to be used for everyday life, pre-practice/match routine, on court routine, and post-practice/match routines. This practice will be a general breath-mind practice only.
- Individual Personal Value Training - this training is set up to introduce the student to a daily practice of value based living. Initially establishing a personal value platform, the student will then start the practice of journaling and reflection. This training is best in collaboration with tennis and daily life, however, one can choose to apply this training to just tennis or just daily life.
- Match and Video Analysis - for the competitive tournament player only. Match analysis is an innovative and popular learning method by utilizing data to emphasize the students patterns of play and strengths and weaknesses. Specific filming and charting instructions will be provided to the student.
