You can. Let us show you how ...
This is what Margaret Court had … THAT SPECIAL EDGE.
You don’t become the World’s best tennis player without having a plan.
To win 24 Grand Slam Singles matches (the most ever by a man or woman), 19 Women’s Doubles and 21 Mixed Doubles matches, you have to have something special.
And she did!
In fact, we know her secrets.
She has passed them on to her nephew Phil Shanahan and his son, Mark, who run the Margaret Court Tennis Academy.
Not only do we know her secrets of success, we want to share them with you. To do this, we created the Margaret Court Performance Tennis web site.
Hitting the ball is only a small part of tennis. We provide you with information in all areas of performance required to be a champion, to ensure you have ALL the tools both on and off the court to succeed.
CALL TO ACTIONOur experienced coaches provide you with all the elements of tennis:
TECHNICAL COACHING: Phil Shanahan and his son, Mark, will teach you high quality tennis training methods to improve both your practice and match play. Phil has coached many champions including Sam Groth and Matt Ebden, while Mark has also coached Matt Ebden and been a hitting partner with Australia’s Number One women’s player Sam Stosur.
PHYSICAL COACHING: Another important factor in being a GREAT tennis player is your fitness, strength, conditioning, injury prevention, recovery and nutrition. We have one of Australia’s most experienced High Performance Coaches Nanette Latta, Sports Scientist & Exercise Physiologist providing you with tips on how to get your physical preparation right.
MENTAL COACHING: No coaching program would be complete without covering the power of the mind. Your thoughts and beliefs determine how you practice and play. Clive Murphy will give you tips on how to get your thinking right. He will improve your thinking and teach you how it affects the way you feel and perform. For 30 years he has helped athletes realise their potential. He is a Best Selling author and the mental coach for the Margaret Court Tennis Academy. He loves pushing for new and better ways of helping people achieve their best.
TACTICAL: All four coaches will give you hints and strategies on ways to outsmart, outplay and outperform your opponent. Watch any tennis match on television and the commentators are speaking about tactics and what one player has to do to improve and beat their opponent. This is a critical part of improving your tennis.
