How to buy a tennis coach
The question that is asked most people who are on the way of an adventure called tennis, playing tennis or learning tennis is: how to buy a tennis coach?
I say most, and by that I mean the vast majority of people today who want to learn to play tennis or wish for your child to do something about it.
Is it possible to buy a coach? Is it a good coach a guarantee of success automatically?
These issues are much more complicated than they are. You will agree that we live in a time where everyone expect overnight success. The media has bombarded us information on instant stars who overnight became universally known. I do not mean just here in sport because the sport is a bit different. The old adage says that for an overnight success takes at least ten years.
But the spirit of the times in which we live oblivious to the gradual nature, the path to success is, and who is a natural process in which there are ups and downs, the laws that apply to everything that exists in nature and therefore apply to us, the human species is still part of a comprehensive nature, although I often do not seem so.
So that famous spirit of the times that prefers instant success also believes that everything can be bought, so the coach. I think here is one misconception that we have to explain, and that is very important, not to say essential for good access and quality communication players and coaches, and very often quality communication parents of players and coaches:
The coach can not be bought. You can buy just his time that a player spends with him, and that's a lot. What player will make with the time he spend with the coach on the field depends not only on the coach than the player, student. There are players who simply drawn coach to give them all what they know and inspire coaches to give their best at that time carried out in the field with a player. Likewise, there are players who are not prepared to teach from one reason or another, and coach remains in doubt, and the player remains deprived of coach's knowledge that would otherwise coach gladly passed. So, all those who think that a coach is a guarantee for the success of any player or person, are wrong, because it is very much the responsibility of the player to their engagement and their commitment and confidence in the coach who has earned his success.
Success in sport is not from today to tomorrow, great success is a sequence of small, everyday successes that are achieved everyday work and effort in training and discipline off the field. Coach can direct and transfer knowledge, but by no means make up an alibi with which the player comes to training or indiscipline players.
There is a story that vividly illustrates the situation in which one can find a coach and player-it is a story in which the student came to a wise teacher of martial arts, and begged him to receive it, and that it teaches. But instead of listening to the teacher, the student began to talk about themselves and their achievements so far and that is by now mastered the skill. Master it wisely listened in silence, interrupted only in one sentence: can I offer you a cup of tea? Once a student is accepted, the teacher made tea and began to pour into a cup. The cup was already packed, and the teacher is still pouring. All in wonder, a student asked him what he's done, do not you see that the cup is full? The teacher replied that does exactly what the student did until then. He came to pray that it receives, but does not want to drain the cup of knowledge.
Similar situation is happening in our sport. People come preloaded with some previous knowledge and want to learn something new, and do not want to accept new ideas and concepts of training that gives them the coach in good faith. Lacking confidence, and such a relationship can not be good and bring long-term quality results.
There is no guarantee of success, as you probably already know, if you had yourself engaged in sports or met with sports training in any way. There is only hard work on the basis of which we have a right to demand of ourselves a good result. Coach's time spent with us in the field, from which we learn, if we are willing to learn, it will help us to more easily understand and learn the skills, but the player must do what is necessary. No coach can play a match ball for player or make a good first serve for him when necessary. But he can certainly focus on the right way, the correct posture and help to jointly overcome the situations in which they find themselves together and find a solution that will lead to the desired results.
