Think in Points

Most recreational players are taught tennis like it’s an art class.

Perfect form. Clean swings. Endless drills.
And then match day comes and everything disappears.

That’s not because you “choked.”
It’s because no one ever taught you how to think during points.

ThinkinPoints exists for players and coaches who want tennis to make sense.

Tennis is hard because no one explains it properly

At the amateur and club level, most players are juggling a lot:

  • Busy schedules

  • Bodies that don’t recover like they used to

  • Conflicting advice from different coaches

  • And a constant feeling of “I practice, but I don’t improve”

That gap usually isn’t effort.
It’s understanding.

Tennis is a decision sport. Every point is a small problem to solve.
If you don’t know what problem you’re solving, technique alone won’t save you.

What ThinkinPoints focuses on

ThinkinPoints is a consulting and education platform designed for real players with real lives.

1. Video analysis that gives you clarity

We look at your strokes, but always in context.

Instead of just asking “Is this swing correct?” we ask:

  • What were you trying to do in this point?

  • What option made the most sense?

  • Why does the same mistake keep happening in matches but not in practice?

For most players, improvement starts when things are finally explained clearly.

2. Zoom consultations for players, coaches, and clubs

These sessions are conversations, not lessons.

They’re useful for:

  • Adult players who feel stuck

  • Juniors who want to play college tennis and need direction

  • Coaches who want help structuring programs or communicating more effectively

  • Clubs trying to align their coaching philosophy

Sometimes what you need isn’t more reps. It’s a better plan.

3. Workshops on how to teach and how to learn

Many players don’t know how to learn tennis.
Many coaches aren’t taught how to teach it.

Our workshops cover:

  • How players process information

  • Why over-coaching causes confusion

  • How to structure practices for different levels

  • How to help players become more independent on court

Good coaching should make players less dependent over time.

4. Mobile pickleball and fitness experiences

ThinkinPoints also works with groups and organizations.

We curate:

  • Pickleball open play and intro sessions for clubs, conferences, and events

  • Fitness experiences combining HIIT, yoga, sculpt, mobility, and recovery

  • Short, accessible explanations of anatomy and movement so people understand their bodies better

Movement should feel supportive, not intimidating.

5. A holistic approach to tennis and movement

Most recreational players don’t need extreme training.
They need sustainable training.

We address:

  • Injury prevention

  • Load management

  • Basic anatomy and physiology

  • Mental approach and confidence

  • How to enjoy tennis long-term

Tennis is a lifelong sport. It should be treated like one.

Who ThinkinPoints is for

  • Adult recreational players who want clarity

  • Juniors aiming for college tennis

  • Coaches working with real people, not full-time athletes

  • Clubs and organizations looking for thoughtful programming

If you want simple explanations, practical tools, and a calmer approach to improvement, you’re in the right place.

Why ThinkinPoints

Because points are what count.

Not perfect swings.
Not how good it looked in practice.
Not how many drills you did.

When you learn to think in points, tennis becomes simpler, calmer, and more enjoyable.

This is the beginning.

Here, we’ll share:

  • Clear explanations

  • Practical tools

  • Thoughtful takes on tennis, movement, and learning

  • Resources we genuinely use and recommend

No hype. No yelling. No pretending everyone wants to go pro.

Just better understanding.

Think in points.
