We believe Sport Science is the key support system to creating resilient and competitive athletes. The integration between tennis and sport science is valuable and crucial in working towards players’ goals.
The Sport Science team offer fully integrated and individualised programmes, consisting of Strength & Conditioning (S&C), Physiotherapy, Nutrition and Sport Psychology.
Sport Science support programmes are all designed with the goals set for each player in mind
Team S&C work closely with the Tennis team to provide bespoke, individualised programmes.
Programmes focus on developing robust tennis players who can maximise development on-court and reduce the risk of injury.
The STA philosophy teaches the players world class performance behaviours so they will become autonomous, independent players on the tour.
STA’s physiotherapy partner provides support to all the players. They focus on on immediate treatment, short- to medium-term rehabilitation and then long-term transition and return to play. All treatment is delivered in full coordination with the S&C team.
