Coach Nuñez Mind set
Nuñez Tennis Training knows…
that each player as an individual needs a one on one attention to ensure the correct and appropriate development as a player and human being. Each player has their own style, game plan, talent and temperament; coaches at NTT understand these very important aspects and know just how to adjust their coaching skills to generate the correct approach and chemistry for each player. Nuñez will elaborate and tailor-made game plan that is best suited for your player, keeping in mind that every lesson will have a specific task and be goal oriented.
In addition to individual training, all players should interact and compete with other players on the court as competitors or partners, and off the court with good sportsmanship. Group and team practices are the ideal setting for players to test their skill and abilities with their peers. Also, having the players compete against each other in practice matches and tournaments, where NTT coaches will be observing the players with a clinic eye, will improve their overall game. Here is when Coach Nuñez is at his best, giving expert guidance and comprehensive analysis of each player’s technique, game plan, and mental attitude. With this in mind the Nuñez philosophy is to prepare players to learn to fly on their own; by learning self-confidence, learning to take ownership of their actions, learning to solve problems on their own, understanding the efforts that it takes to achieve their goals and learning to balance it all with a normal social life.
