Training plans should reflect the player’s competition schedule, training history, technical needs and recovery capacity. The programs section will organize strength, power, speed and conditioning work into practical progressions rather than isolated workouts.
Program Structure
- Foundation: movement competency and general strength
- Strength development: progressive loading and appropriate exercise selection
- Power and speed: high-quality explosive efforts with sufficient recovery
- In-season maintenance: preserve key qualities while managing match and practice loads
Build The Plan Around Tennis
Mark matches, court practice, travel and recovery constraints first. Select the physical priority from the athlete’s assessment results and observed court demands, then choose a session that addresses it. A workout labelled “advanced” or “pro” does not establish readiness for its loads or exercises.
Use workout examples to review session options and the exercise library to check the prescribed movement and progression. Record what was completed and what changed before adding volume or resistance.
Planning Tools
- Annual Training Planner — competition priorities, development windows and reassessment points.
- Weekly Training Planner — fixed tennis demands, the key physical session and changes to the week.
- Training Monitoring Worksheet — duration, perceived effort, readiness and the next training decision.
