Focus on the Next Shot.

Building confident players one shot at a time.

Tennis is fast, emotional, and unforgiving. Most players don’t lose because of technique, but because they stay stuck on the last point. Next Shot Tennis helps players reset quickly, think clearly under pressure, and play with confidence — one point, one decision at a time.

THE NEXT SHOT PHILOSOPHY

Coaching Beyond Technique

Every rally is a reset. Every point is a fresh start.

At Next Shot Tennis, coaching is about more than just hitting better shots. It’s about helping players think clearly, stay composed, and compete with confidence.

  • Sessions are designed to:
  • Build strong fundamentals
  • Develop better decision-making under pressure
  • Encourage confidence, resilience, and enjoyment of the game
  • Make technical adjustments that unlock your natural game

Because great tennis isn’t about perfection —
it’s about responding well to what just happened.

The focus is always on long-term development, not quick fixes.

From Practice to Match Play

Training that bridges the gap between practice sessions and real competition.

James believes that many players lack confidence in their own abilities. They often feel intimidated by others or assume everyone else is better.

Drawing on both his coaching experience and his work as a mindset-focused executive coach, James naturally introduces simple mindset tools during sessions — often without players even realising.

The result?
Players don’t just improve their game — they start to trust themselves, play freer, and enjoy competing again.
Miss the last shot? Fine.

What matters is the next one.
EVERY SHOT IS A FRESH START
