Teaching skills
Wolfgang Schöllhorn has answered to an article in TennisSport 2015, a journal for tennis coaches in Germany. Alexander Ferrauti had criticized the differential learning as an aberration.
Here is Wolfgang Schöllhorns beautiful reply (thanks to WS for the translation):
„It is always a surprise as to what people are capable of when they are overwhelmed by their own emotions. When it comes to the question of deep-seated (training) habits, including when one’s own painful (training) experiences are recognized as such, and when one realizes that lots of things could have been done differently. When one realizes that he could have possibly achieved the orignially dreamed success then often strange outgrowths under the guise of supposed science appear. One fights the new, in order not to change one’s own, life long developed view of world. One becomes polemic, starts to discredit, one blindly takes over defamation that is trying to isolate.

Louis Cayer is one of the Double Coaching Gurus in the world. This presentation is from the 2015 LTA Coaches’ Conference at the National Tennis Centre in London, England. This is an on-court presentation by Louis Cayer and Simon Wheatley Helped by Neal and Ken Skupski, giving clarity and awareness to tactical framework and an emphasis on net play. This presentation showcases a number of drills that work neutral, offensive and defensive skills. Some of the drills are implicit and especially the drills starting at 30′ are differencial (standing on one feet, standing with crossed legs,….)
What great coaches need
„First, contrary to common belief (or perhaps what most academics believe), these coaches read a lot ….. they read academic papers, they have an insatiable thirst for (evidence based, peer reviewed) knowledge. ….. This search – according to the data – is driven by a deep dark doubt, driving the obsession to ‘stay ahead’. These coaches are “always striving, driven by the fear of not being good enough”.
