In this episode of the My Tennis Coaching Podcast, host Steve Whelan delves into the efficacy of basket drills and isolated practices for developing player confidence.

Steve challenges traditional coaching methods, arguing that while such drills may provide temporary success, they fail to prepare players for the unpredictable nature of real match situations. He advocates for ecological dynamics and constraint-led coaching practices, which create more adaptable and confident players.

Steve also addresses common pushbacks from coaches and provides insights on developing versatile skills through dynamic and adaptable training environments.
