Mental Fitness Challenge Inclusions:
Daily Challenges
Each day I'll be releasing a challenge into participant program app and they'll receive a notification from me as soon as the challenge is ready. Challenges take 15-20min to complete and during Week 1 we'll also have the option for participants to join us live on Zoom.
Challenge Type #1: Connecting With Purpose
We all need clarity in what we want to achieve and why it's important to act according to what we value. These activities will help your players do that.
Challenge Type #2: Attention Strengthening Activities
These challenges will include activities that are of the sort that Novak Djokovic has said he practices each day and considers to be as important to his success as his physical training
Challenge Type #3: Creative Visualisations
These challenges will include creative visualisation activities that are of the sort that Bianca Andreescu reports she has practiced since she was 13 years old.
Challenge Type #4: Emotional Fitness Activities
Given the current circumstances now is the perfect time to improve the most important skill of all to tennis success- Emotional Fitness. These challenges will encourage your players to do just that...
Challenge Type #5: Committed Actions
To compete effectively we not only need to aim and maintain our attention on a helpful target, we need also to commit helpful processes that increase the chance of success. In these activities players will practice this process during some indoor activities.

Grateful Coaches:
Dan Kiernan (SOTOTennis Academy Director)
"The Off-Court Mental Fitness Challenge has been a revelation for our players and coaches, as its connected us all together as well as giving invaluable mental training activities to do. This has served as a great addition to our on-court work as the academy"
Ryan Redondo (General Manager: Barnes Tennis Center)
"With his Mental Fitness Challenge Anthony has given us the chance to develop this often neglected part of the game. Now is the perfect time for our players to learn from one of the most trusted minds in tennis by top Division 1 coaches and professional players"
Troy Budgen (Tennis Director: Cleveland Racquet Club)
"It's been a win-win with most importantly our junior players and coaches getting an incredible developmental experience along with our club generating approximately $2000 revenue in 24hr. Next up we will be offering our adult club members the chance to take part in the upcoming 28-day Challenge as part of their membership dues. This couldn't have come at a better time"
Michelle Jaggard-Lai (Director: Wakehurst Tennis)
Our players embraced the Mentally Tough Fitness Challenge. As a result they improved their mental skills, smalll space learning, and responses to broader life challenges as well. I've noticed that they are now calmer, bouncing back from disappointments quicker, and more focused from the start of matches.
Conrad Singh (CEO: Centercourt Tennis Academy)
Partnering with Anthony and Pat to implement the Off-Court Mental Fitness Challenge at Centercourt has been nothing short of fantastic. Engaging players in mental fitness work can be challenging but in this case they absolutely loved the format that the MTT team have developed.
Ellen Markowitz (WAHS Girl's Tennis Coach)
The Challenge helped my players with establishing a routine, regaining focus and building emotional fitness. It's hard for players to know how to work on these skills so the challenge was great to break things down into user friendly chunks!
