SlingNET (Slinger’s Network of Educational Tennis)

Upcoming Event with the Pete Brown Junior Tennis Program

As I’m embarking on providing an additional service of being a tennis consultant, I’m excited to visit the Pete Brown Junior Tennis Program for a second time. It represents a unique opportunity to build upon previous experiences, explore new possibilities, and strengthen the bonds formed with the program's players. The return visit allows me to witness the fruits of their labor, reaffirming their commitment to the sport and their role in shaping its future. In this cycle of growth and collaboration, we serve to forge a powerful alliance that paves the way for even greater achievements.

I’d love to visit your program or help directly with a coach and/or player. Let’s connect!

Thank You,

Coach Roger Smith

During our time together we will:

2) Identify the braintypes of each kid. This gives the coaches, the parents and the players themselves more clarity and better understanding the direction inwhich their kid needs to be further developed. (their gamestyle, best communication skills, specific drills of focus for each kid, etc.. ) This process enables everyone to build and move forward with much more confidence!!

3) Incorporate on court drills and specifically point out the main focus of each player for continued growth both on and off the court.

Where Purpose Meets Performance!

Bridging the gaps between parents, players and coaches is vital in a player’s development. The goal is to get all on the same page with the player’s development as the priority.
