The Roddick Total Tennis Experience

The Roddick Total Tennis Experience is one of the best kept secrets in the tennis world. Under the directorship of Trace Fielding, Leo Lavalle, Alex Gajic and Myron Grunberg, culminating in over 60 years of experience, we have adopted the philosophy that there is no cookbook of coaching techniques that apply identically to each player. We emphasize teaching life skills, and educate our players to understand that the ideas and concepts learned on the tennis court apply to their life outside of tennis. We take a global approach in dealing with our athletes, by addressing the physical, psychological, tactical, and technical skills each player needs to reach their full potential, and become the best player they can be. If any of these areas are neglected, a player will not be able to achieve all that they are capable of.

There are many academies that imitate techniques, flavor of the week drills, and coaching philosophies which they may have heard or read about. Neglecting the fact that someone else's program can never be ideal. In addition, taking a standardized approach (addressing each athlete identically) is potentially dangerous, and risks long term physical harm, as each player's threshold is different, and must be addressed individually. Since we operate on such a small scale, we are able to provide each of our students the proper training program that suits them individually.

We understand that a tennis coach must have the ability to thread together scientific information and tennis technique, while listening to ones intuition and the particular feelings of the player in question. This comes only with years of experience. It is at this point coaching ceases to be a science and becomes and art. High Performance coaching is definitely an art!!
