1:1 training

Theoretical training is ineffective in developing new skills

There’s a reason kids aren’t taught tennis in lecture theatres: new skills are not effectively mastered by ingesting abstract theory.   

Leadership, coaching and communication skills are as much a practical, learned skill as a good tennis forehand is.

Then why does theory dominate practice in the teaching of these skills?

  • Exorbitant cost of 1:1 training

  • No place to practice

  • Hard to serve individual needs at scale

We must do better than this

  1. Record: capture video of matches and practice

  2. AI-analysis: Objective data and insights

  3. Human engagement: feedback, plan, commitment

  4. Practice: guided repetition of desired skills
