THE AHEAD-COACH
Setup_
1 COURT & TEAMMATES
Book your court and arrange a playing partner, just like in any other session. However, our concept is also suitable for a training session at the tennis wall or with a ball machine.
2 SMARTPHONE & SUITABLE HOLDER
Mount your smartphone on the fence, turn on the camera, and your coach can watch you play live!
Ensure that your smartphone is adequately charged and has a reliable internet connection. There are various ways to securely attach the smartphone. We’ve listed a few options here. The simplest method is certainly using a clear plastic film and two safety pins.
3 WIRELESS HEADPHONES
Connect the audio wirelessly through your headphones. This way, you can stay in constant contact with your coach and receive direct feedback on tactics, technique, and everything you need to improve your game.
4 YOUR AHEAD-COACH
While you fully concentrate on your game, your coach leads the session with engaging exercises or supports you in challenging game situations. Together, you develop a ‘game plan,’ share victories and defeats.
A 60-minute session typically consumes around 2 GB of data, depending on the streaming quality.

THE
Practice
COACHING FOCUS:
- Technique
- Tactical Coaching
Allow your coach to lead you through a practice exercise. Define your personal training goals, and your coach will guide you through appropriate training routines.
The practice
You’ve booked a tennis court and have a player to train with. Your coach provides training formats through headphones that prepare you perfectly for a match. Tactics and mental attitude are the focus here. No special equipment is required.
Since the coach doesn’t have to hit the balls, they can fully concentrate on you. Of course, the racquet head plays a crucial role on the court, but what’s happening in your mind is even more important.
