015 - Marc Gelina - Handling Different Levels Of Players in the Same Lesson

Today, I interview Marc Gelina, the Associate PTM Director at The University Of Central Florida, Rosen Campus.

In this episodeWe talk about how to handle different levels of players in the same class.

Before coming to Central Florida, Marc was a Tennis Director for over 30 years and has a lot to offer pros who are just getting started and those who have been on the business a long time.

The talented players may "Revolt" if you do not have a creative practice plan.

You have to add in challenges.

The middle group needs to be incentivized by the better players.

The top players need to know that they have to dominate the Middle group.

For me, it is always a good time to work on weaker skills that need to be developed when playing against players that are weaker.

As a pro, you are going to have to work with ALL the levels.  

Don't get caught just hanging out with one of the three levels.

The lesson p,an is the key.
