ViewThe research behind this approach
In controlled tennis research, players given individualised, learner-controlled video feedback improved their tactical performance significantly more, and retained it better a week later, than players on a fixed, one-size-fits-all feedback schedule. (Self-controlled video feedback facilitates the learning of tactical skills in tennis)
The arithmetic of attention is simple. A strong academy typically runs one coach to four or five players in drilling, and junior group programmes often around 6:1, which works out at roughly ten to twenty minutes of direct instruction in a paid hour. One-to-one is about sixty. (Tennis schools vs individual coaching: coaching ratios in practice)
