Coaching Philosophy

Our philosophy is quite simple, yet powerful. We believe that all students have the ability to learn and improve and are entitled to enjoy the process from moment one!

BTP is "open" in our teaching beliefs. We have adopted the modern game mentality which is there is no one way to teach, learn or to play. Everything is in flux EXCEPT the CORE fundamentals. And the CORE fundamentals are what we specialize in delivering to you using the games based approach.

Once your CORE is strong, you are strong! That's what we believe and that's what we practice!

Coach Training

INSIDE-OUT TRAINING

LESSONS FOR LIFE
BTP's slogan is " Lessons For Life." We know, and you know, that tennis is the ideal platform for teaching CORE VALUES. The stuff champions are made of! Core values like-sportsmanship, commitment, humility and striving for excellence. BTP lessons plans incorporate these lessons for life within the games-based approach.
