About this listen

In this episode, I unpack a brilliant question from a top coach:

“What are the non-negotiables for representativeness in tennis—and can you trade some for others?”


We explore:


  • Why throw tennis isn’t representative (and what it teaches us)

  • The 6 core elements of representative learning design in tennis

  • The difference between looking like the game vs. functioning like the game

  • What coaches might be getting wrong when designing “game-based” sessions

  • How to balance exploration and transfer in your practices

If you’re serious about designing sessions that actually transfer to matches—this episode is a must.
