Coaching Philosophy

At Harvey Becker Racquet Centre, our coaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that each player is unique. While every player’s style may differ, there are fundamental elements that all athletes need to master, such as balance, swing path, and contact point. Our approach provides the flexibility to help each player discover the best way to achieve these essentials, adapting techniques to suit individual strengths.

 

This approach extends to the mental and strategic aspects of the game. Our coaching follows a structured progression, where each element builds on the last—much like assembling an IKEA model—to ensure players achieve the best results possible.
