Gabe Jaramillo Offers Tips in Raquettech

The March issue of Raquettech featured Club Med Academies Tennis coach Gabe Jaramillo, who offered his top tips for developing a world-class athlete. Jaramillo’s pointers include:

1.       Individuality: Each athlete assimilates information and direction differently, so training must be tailored to that athlete’s personality and learning style.

2.       Work Load: Gabe’s training method involved helping players reach their goals by gradually increasing work load, volume, intensity, and information.

3.       Specific Practice: Each practice session is conducted with a specific skill and goal in mind.

4.       Repetition: This creates muscle memory and makes the action mechanic.

5.       Variation: This avoids adaptation syndrome and keeps students interested.
