What is the GBA (Game Based Approach)?

Tired of taking the same old tennis lessons and hearing the same old tips with same the old frustrating results?

THE GBA IS A MORE INTUITIVE WAY TO LEARN TENNIS. Think of The Game Based Approach more like The Performance Based Approach. Instead of focusing on technique or "the strokes" first and hope you figure out how to use them in a game later, the GBA is the complete opposite. It focuses on getting you to understand how to play the game first and then uses technique as a tool to get you to perform better.

The GBA does not just get people to play "games" and ignore technique. It uses a systematic way of integrating the tactical, physical, mental & technical together. The way tennis is being taught is shifting away from traditional "model" based coaching.

If you're only hearing your coach tell you you're getting better but you're not really sure, get measurable results...find out what the ITF and players around the world already know.. The GBA is the best way to learn tennis.

Top 5 Best Tennis Instructional Web Sites...

#1. icoach- The ITF's site with the best content from top international coaches from around the world. It's a paid site, but like most paid sites, for the price of a private lesson you get a lot. This site focuses on all aspects of playing & coaching, not just videos of a guy standing there swinging a racquet talking about technique.

#2. TennisOne - Great content, good articles from international coaches and lots of Quicktime clips of the pros.

#3. Tennisplayer.net - Created by John Yandell, Similar to TennisOne, good articles and lots of clips of the pros.

#4. Ace Coach - Lots of great content about coaching and playing tennis from a 21st Century approach. Created by Wayne Elderton who writes articles for the ITF & TennisOne among others.

#5. Tennis Canada's PTA - A great resource for learning cutting edge coaching techniques. Lots of instructional video and interviews with top coaches.
