Frank’s Tennis Parent Education Platform Benefits Teaching Professionals:

1. Educated Tennis Parents Can Help Build & Maintain Programs

An educated tennis parent understands the laundry list of their essential job descriptions throughout the different developmental stages. Uneducated parents will most often shift allegiance blindly from academy to academy. An unsatisfied, uneducated parent can hurt your program for years to come.

2. Educated Tennis Parents Can Help Develop A Team Mentality

A tennis program that values the importance of the relationship between the player, parent(s) and coach(es) is promoting positive synergy and building a unified team. The parents will become more supportive of the coaches’ efforts and become more optimistic about the process.

3. Accountable Parents Facilitate Success

An informed, invested parent will manage the essential off-court/non-instructional components.

School
Nutrition
Equipment
Scheduling
Traveling
Off- court training
Charting and videoing matches

Parent accountability ultimately leads to enhancing the coach’s success with the player.

4. Involved Tennis Parents Stay Committed For the Long Haul

A unified parent will stay with “their” program through thick & thin because they understand that building a champion truly takes a team. A parent not involved in the process is quick to pull their child out of your program after a loss or two.

5. Tennis Educated Parents Understand the Financial Commitment

Educated families will be more willing to budget additional funds toward their child’s developmental blueprint- this financially benefits the entire industry. Parents aren’t as likely to continually spend their money for training without a systematic developmental plan. Teaching new techniques and individualizing training regimes will motivate stagnant players and frustrated parents (and even coaches) to recommit to a higher level of training. Educated families will be more willing to stay with their developmental plan month after month, year after year.
