All will be told with the NEW Release hitting shelves in December! From the compounded effect to how The Long Game guides you to 20 Years in the making...wow! Then onto the Olympic impact, the onset of injuries and stages 1 to 10 towards the Top 10 with a LOT of name dropping along the way of current WTA and ATP players and why they're yet to win a Grand Slam Championship to why some already have.

NEW Book: Fundamental Skills for Tennis Players
This is Episode 51 of Beyond Top 10 Tennis as our NEXT in line and NEW Book is dived into: The Secrets to Optimal Coaching Success. Launching right into the initial Chapter of Non-Typical Building Blocks, we discuss learning differences between 'now' and in generations prior with key differences. Shedding technical insights on some exclusive segments on my "NEXT TO BE RELEASED" Book, changes in skill development remain at the forefront. From the days of a Walkman to Netflix binges now on hand, long term impacts on skills gap to the onset of injuries later in life (i.e. tennis elbow) are shared. The latest pending book release (late 2023) is touched on and its astounding 11 years in the making aligned with the 11th publication in the cumulative series, before how these skills either hinder or help players progress towards that Top 10 Tennis Ranking. Lastly, the evidence of skills gaps in the elite and how they hinder their performances is touched on as PLAY is emphasised on The Pathway whilst helping limit those screen-based distractions.

Problem Solving and Sport: for Tennis Players
This is Episode 52 of Beyond Top 10 Tennis that heads straight into the elite 'developmental' player with key differences shared and why 'developmental' holds relevance for peak performances in contrast to a level of sustained maintenance inside the Top 10. A big name drop is evident when touching on the Top 4 and why less Grand Slams are 'shared' between the Top 10. We touch on the role of predictive analytics to how to avoid an injury 20 years later with personal recounts! Big news arrives with a NEW RELEASE in time for Christmas (keep an eye out to hear more precise dates!) and the 10% in Tennis and 'how' this also moves across into other professions. Challenging your thought process to the use of language and perception takes the spotlight before the discussion is centred around removing barriers. Today's episode finishes on performance plateau's and how to overcome these hurdles with the 7 Keys responsible for huge ranking moves.

Revisiting the Coach-Athlete Relationship Part 4: Developing an Elite Tennis Player
This is Episode 49 of Beyond Top 10 that continues our focus on the coach-athlete relationship that sets the foundations for The Secrets to Optimal Performance Success. Building on Part's 1 to 3, today's episode is our BIGGEST to date as it's packed with all key elements with a focus on pressure. Looking at the role of social media to referring back to MySpace and the newer Topicthread, the role of negative noise and susceptibilities when on social media along with a personal recount of re-introducing Beyond Top 10 Tennis. Flashbacks feature mobile phones to now and how pressure has various implications with our inner circle a prime hunting ground. We then take a look at the scientific community and how to develop a Top 10 Tennis Ranking and ask the question: who deserves a seat at your table? Behaviours are then brought to the surface and how coaches can be responsible for both good and bad behaviours that players develop and how to be more mindful of developing 'good' behaviours. A big revisit then follows of this pivotal Chapter from hiring and firing your coach, why some of the Top 300 get stuck and don't make it into the Top 100 with a scientific overlap to how Talent ID contributes to pressure in players before piecing it all together!

Revisiting the Coach-Athlete Relationship Part 3: Developing an Elite Tennis Player
This is Episode 48 of Beyond Top 10 that continues our focus on the coach-athlete relationship and kicking off with quite a buzz before diving into correlations with the Olympics with Paris 2024 edging closer. From Gold medal achievements to more than one Grand Slam Championship discussed in the What is Your Game Missing Series before a detour for a walk in your shoes -- whether that be a coach, player/athlete to the parents and/or guardian. Developmental influences remain front and centre as the focus is firm on Player Behaviour and Mental Stability with direct associations to psychology -- child to developmental and in later years and how this remains incorporated in our work from the 10 Year release cycle and new insights (being penned as you listen) towards that Top 10 tennis ranking! How behaviours are shaped and how these align with the code of conduct is discussed with its tie to Player Behaviour before crossing over into Mental Stability and COVID implications on player/athlete wellbeing. Emphasis is then placed on self-care practices for all involved and putting in the work to look after yourself.

This is Episode 46 of Beyond Top 10 that focuses on the coach-athlete relationship and begins with the terminology around a tennis player to athlete and their ownership before discussing powerful connections and the role of power in the relationship dynamic. An important discussion is shared on finding your voice and a window into my own 'thinking process' before moving onto a more controversial topic of firing your coach. We then look at how the employer to employee dynamic works in tennis and a tennis player's power. The parental advantage brings us to a close with how the parent and/or guardian (or 'other') can empower the player/athlete before ensuring a common goal remains at the forefront of the coach-athlete relationship with the power of reflective practice.

How to Plan for the Future: Guiding Tennis Players to Success
This is Episode 42 of Beyond Top 10 and we hit things off with a personal recount alongside helpful and non-helpful coaches and the road ahead with discussed variances. Junior Grand Slams to the NCAA take the spotlight before the playing schedule to overloading at a young age is shared with key insights. The discussion is moved to ranking ranges and those who hover outside the Top 100 -- we know why and how to get you over the mark. How to survive coach-free (temporarily) takes the limelight with the primary question around what price do you put on one lesson let alone lessons over a decade of play. Progressions and regressions of the best in the world are discussed before a big shout out to Coco Gauff with our key metrics showcasing why this year was her maiden Championship win. How the Top 20 ascend into the Top 10 closes out today's episode with a key discussion around funding options and initiatives directly available at AM8 International.

The role of the 10 Year pathway is then shared and how players/athletes on the cusp of securing their maiden ranking points often suffer through injuries and the steps that have been put in place to help you navigate this crucial time.

Body Image, Self-Worth and Tennis Players: A Coach's Responsibility
This is Episode 35 of Beyond Top 10 Tennis as the relevance of the World Cup and Australia's Matilda's deliver key lessons on a player's self-worth before we share important insights on the coach education system void of core topics that affect boys and girls around the world for parents to be conscious of and for coaches to take greater responsibility. A question is asked around data before the 80/20 rule is touched on and how 'pressure to perform' often takes precedence over the 'whole athlete' and the detrimental impact. We then take a look at the power tussle in the coach-athlete dynamic and the need to foster safe environments -- away from school (for the developmental players) before wrapping up on empowering players/athletes and building more confident and resilient players opposed to seeing players/athletes that walk away from the game they love.
