Episode #38 Season 24: Shaun Boyce & Justin Yeo

In this episode of 10 Minutes of Tennis, Shaun and Justin talk about functional tennis and mind mapping. ​ They discuss how mind mapping in tennis refers to the brain's ability to map different nerve systems, exercises, functionality, and kinetic chains based on previous experiences in various sports and activities. ​ They emphasize the importance of understanding a player's existing functional skills and building upon them rather than trying to teach everything from scratch. They also highlight the significance of perception in tennis and how it affects a player's ability to react and move effectively on the court. The conversation concludes with advice for coaches to focus on fundamentals and perception, and for players to understand their strengths and build upon them.

The concept of functional tennis refers to a holistic approach to tennis training that focuses on developing and utilizing a player's existing functional skills and abilities.​ It involves understanding and leveraging the functional movements, coordination, and neural pathways that a player has already developed through previous sports or activities. Rather than starting from scratch, functional tennis aims to build upon these existing skills to enhance a player's performance on the tennis court.​ This approach recognizes that each player has unique strengths and capabilities, and seeks to optimize their potential by incorporating and refining these functional elements into their tennis game. By doing so, players can improve their technique, movement, and overall performance in a more efficient and effective manner.
