We use different tennis balls at each stage of a junior player’s physical and brain development.

It’s time to apply the same logic to mental training.

Tennis Europe and Vodar invite coaches and parents to a free workshop focused on practical, age-appropriate mental training tools for junior athletes, on and off the court. Join us to explore how neuroscience and sports psychology guide effective strategies for addressing age-specific mental and emotional challenges in junior athletes.

Ideal for anyone looking to understand juniors’ mental needs more deeply and guide them with clarity and confidence, even without a sports-psychology background.
