Adriano’s Coaching Philosophy: Push Beyond Limits

Key Points

• Work harder than everyone else and make no excuses
• Being pushed is exciting and players should want to be pushed
• Players need to learn how to find solutions
• Learn to attack the ball with your feet
• Focus on building physicality in your players with a wider, lower base
• Develop a “stepping into the ball mentality” with more strokes worked on in a linear way
• “If there’s one foot inside the court, go for your shot” players should recognise any ball that is “there for the taking” and jump on the short ball
