Episode 12-S&C for the Youth Tennis Athlete with Daz Drake
In episode 12 of the Platform to Podcast I spoke with my first guest from the sport of tennis, Daz Drake.
Daz Drake has been a professional coach since 2000 and specialises in Youth fitness and Tennis. He is the owner of Athletic Performance Academy (APA) which amongst other things has been providing Strength & Conditioning coaching to Gosling Tennis Academy since 2005. In that time he has had the pleasure to work with some of the best junior tennis players in the world including four players who have been ranked inside the Top 100 WTA or ATP tour.
In today's podcast we discussed:
-How Daz helps develop up and coming S&C coaches
-Daz's 6 stage pathway for developing athletes from young children into professional tennis players
-The framework of each of these 6 stages and what Daz feels are the most appropriate methods to develop specific physical qualities
We also discuss Daz's thoughts on how he defines early specialisation, sport specificity, his blogs for the Pacey Performance podcast and much more.
Resources mentioned in the podcast:
Special Strength Training for Coaches by Yuri Verkhoshansky
Strength training and Coordination: an Integrative Approach by Frans Bosch
