"I have the highest regard for this approach to developing tennis players. It is simple for coaches to adopt and has a clear progression for the learner. The concepts ensure that the techniques are minimised to the most efficient way of playing the ball"

 

" I feel that my tennis and coaching will have seriously benefitted from everything I learned."

"Just carefully read your Modern Tennis Fast Track System overview. We don't know each other, but I am very particular and have found most "systems" miss the boat in at least some areas. This overview is the single best concise statement of coaching and instructional philosophy I have read in 30 years. I don't say that lightly." – Joe Dinoffer USTA and PTR Master professional Read more

Fact: There are more tennis coaches in the world but fewer players playing

Why? That’s a no brainer! Learning to play tennis should be progressive, simple and above all; FUN!!!!

All too often it proves complicated and boring because of the ‘mechanical’ approach of conventional coaching.

Why do countries like Chile and Argentina who are not as ‘tennis rich’ financially as the UK, USA and Australia for example churn out player after player?

 

 

 

Why is Russian tennis so successful?

“Modern Tennis is the only way to teach isn’t it? Isn’t everyone learning this way? This is how it should be taught. I’m seeing beginners improve before my eyes, amazing!” - Tatiana Matokhnyuk – former coach to WTA number 3 player; Nadia Petrova and Marcos Baghdatis

Tatiana's Free Interview

 

Compare: Conventional coaching versus Modern Tennis coaching

Conventional coaching focuses beginner players on choreographed footwork and the perfect swing pattern for power instead of what is important for the player at this stage. That being; TTF.

Some people say that ‘there aren’t any secrets to tennis’. Oh but there is. Any player who masters TTF will achieve tennis success. They will be free to focus on tennis tactics and develop natural footwork without worrying about having the ‘perfect, cosmetic technique.

Some players master TTF through natural ability but many players need that grounding first if they are to advance. What tends to happen is that many players do NOT receive the direction that they need and as result turn their back on this wonderful sport through sheer frustration and boredom.

This is why the sport is losing players worldwide!

Once players have mastered TTF on their shots, they are free to develop their own natural shape to create power. TTF is the foundation that leads to powerful tennis shots eventually. If these foundations are not rock solid then the whole building collapses.

 

 

What benefits do you get from Modern Tennis Coaching?

  • Beginners get to rally and play at every level of progression. The lesson becomes much more fun
  • Natural players progress so much quicker
  • Techniques are gentle and natural thus reducing injury
  • Players are given easy to follow progressions
  • Social players will be hitting the ball properly
  • The need for the coach to ‘instruct’ and bark orders every 5 seconds, diminishes. Coaches become the ‘Guide on the side' not the 'sage on the stage’
  • Above all, players get to hit the ball the same way as the Pros do! Because what they do is unbelievably simple, yes at a 100mph but simple nonetheless. So what do they do?

Where's the proof that Modern Tennis works?

MTI's syllabus is based on the data from legendary Argentine coach Oscar Wegner. Oscar’s sound logical approach proved the building blocks of the Spanish tennis resurgence.

He also coached former world number one player and 3 times French Open champion - Gustavo Kuerten. His book was even read and used by Richard Williams - father of Venus and Serena.

In recent years nations such as Russia and Eastern Europe have been employing the data within their academies.

Oscar personally trained us at MTI and asked us to deliver the gospel worldwide for which we are eternally grateful.

Personal message from Oscar "I have known John Littleford and Andrew Magrath since 2006. They have both participated and assisted me in my UK delivery of the highest levels of my coaching methodology.

I recommend both as the forefront of an English tennis evolution that will take this wonderful country's tennis players to new heights, and I am more than happy to partner with them in this effort."
