Anthony Ross
This comprehensive four-part course was developed by Dr. Anthony Ross, a former Wimbledon competitor with a PhD in sports psychology. Dr. Ross has dedicated 15 years to enhancing the mental toughness of top athletes, including Grand Slam champions, through his deep understanding of the psychological aspects of tennis. His research has particularly focused on the crucial role of parental influence in developing mental toughness, culminating in a successful collaboration with Tennis Australia to implement a parent education program empirically proven to improve children's competitive responses.The course encompasses four main themes: shaping resilience and understanding parental impact on a child's development, balancing support while fostering resilience and self-worth in young athletes, managing the emotional highs and lows of sports parenting, and comprehending and navigating the complexities of sports parenting dynamics. Dr. Ross's CoachLife content, available under his name "Dr. Anthony Ross," primarily addresses this sports parent course. Additionally, under "Mentally Tough Tennis," the focus shifts towards assisting players, parents, and coaches in overcoming the psychological hurdles associated with performing at elite levels. This dual approach ensures comprehensive support for the entire tennis community, making it an invaluable resource for those looking to enhance their mental game and parenting strategies in sports.
