The Mouratoglou methodology: tailor-made coaching for children
The Mouratoglou methodology is based on a totally personalised approach to coaching. This unique approach is specifically adapted to the youngest athletes, taking into account their physical and mental development, as well as their objectives and motivations. The programme is based on three key elements: learning techniques, mental preparation and physical work.
- Technique: The coach teaches the basics, such as the forehand and backhand, and how to move around the court. Each session is an opportunity to perfect your strokes, improve your position on the court and optimise your ball handling.
- Mental preparation: Managing the pressure of matches is essential for children who want to progress. Our team helps them to develop resilience and strengthen their concentration, crucial qualities when facing high-level opponents.
- Physical fitness: Physical training is adapted to each age group, with exercises focusing on agility, coordination and endurance. This physical training is essential to prepare the body for the challenges of competition.
