25.01.2022 Want to feel even more dangerous on your groundstrokes? Well, you're going to love the new Babolat Pure Drive! With explosive acceleration and spin-friendly targeting, you'll be dictating from the baseline in no time. If you like to hit lots of heavy strokes with heaps of spin and slice, you won't go wrong with this. And if you're looking for more power on your groundstrokes, this racket has come at the right time!... Compared to its previous predecessor, this model is more arm-friendly as well with its upgraded vibration dampening system. Our friends at @tennis.only have these bad boys on pre-order and will be ready for dispatch in a couple of weeks. Want to be the first to get your hands on them and at the best price? DM us and we'll look after you! : @cl.photoediting #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tennislife #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #instatennis #fitness #fit #fitfam #love #instagood #photooftheday #family #fun #follow #instalike #life #melbourne #australia #style #babolat #puredrive #unleashyourpower #babolattennis #babolatteam

25.01.2022 Social distancing Cardio Tennis! We had some tired bodies this week (expected after having 4 months off from tennis!), but that didn't stop them from pushing themselves! With some high intense drills to get the blood pumping and heart rate up, our sessions are designed to get you fit without you even knowing! Whilst having tonnes of fun in a social and encouraging environment, this is the perfect program for every adult who wants to get fit and active.... Players got the chance to catch their breath during some point play in the session (still with penalties involved ), but then finished off with some hard work and an abs workout (due to lots of laughing )! If you're an adult that doesn't want to tone up their legs and body, doesn't want to work their abs through plenty of laughter, doesn't want to sweat it out in time for Christmas so you have to watch everything that you eat, and don't want to improve your tennis in a fun way, then don't come to us! But if you do want all of that and more, contact us now to find out when our sessions are and to book in! #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #cardio #believe #success #goals #melbswest #melbourne #melbournecity #melbournetodo #australia #italy #federer #nadal #igers #igdaily #love #instagood #family #fun #follow #instalike #life

24.01.2022 A big THANK YOU to each and every one of our followers Over the last few months weve gone from zero to one hundred in seconds and most of the world has come to a standstill. We've experienced things we never ever thought we would. From different working conditions, stopping certain things that we love to do, unable to visit family and friends, and not to mention the mental roller-coaster of not knowing when things will get back to normality. ... One thing iTennis knows is that our loyal community of players and followers accept the challenge that we are currently facing and will stick together to get through it as a whole. We will all continue to stay positive with ourselves and with those around us, take care of each other, support each other, and keep striving to reach our goals. Thank you for all the love and support that each of you show. Let's all stay safe, do the right things and also cherish the moments with our loved ones #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tennislife #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #tennislove #instatennis #believe #success #journey #obstacles #goals #greatness #melbswest #melbourne #melbournecity #melbournetodo #melbourneblogger #australia #italy #followers #follow #igers #igdaily

23.01.2022 When you get into a match, are you scared to lose? Scared to do what your coach has been teaching you in case you make a mistake? What about in life? Are you too scared to take the next step in case you make a mistake or fail? Remember, failing is part of the process to being successful. ... @kobebryant talks about this in his book, "The Mamba Mentality". He knew who he wanted to become and what was needed to become one of the greatest players/athletes of all time. As coaches, we see too many players playing safe so that they can hopefully "win", instead of trusting the process. There's really two choices you have here: Be scared and remain in the same place in the next few years as you are today; Or Do the hard work, have a few more losses, and trust the process to you being successful and reaching your end result. Never let your fear decide your future. #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tennislife #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #tennislove #instatennis #believe #success #journey #obstacles #goals #greatness #fail #process #fear #hardwork #kobe #love #igers #igdaily #educate #motivation #life #melbourne

23.01.2022 This year is about discipline. Decide what you want and what's important to you. Write it down, make a plan and execute it. . . .... Your competition isn't other people. It's your procrastination. It's the knowledge you neglect. And what will crush procrastination? ACTION and DISCIPLINE! Remember, you cannot become what you want to be by remaining where you are. So, are you going to come out fitter and stronger than before lockdown? That decision is up to you. You can tell your coach whatever you think they want to hear, but your actions will speak louder than your words once you hit the court. What will pay off now? Laziness. What will pay off in the future? Hard work. Simply put, if it's important to you, you will find a way. If not, you'll find an excuse. Conquer yourself and make it a priority! #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tennislife #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #tennislove #instatennis #love #instagood #photooftheday #quotes #qotd #action #discipline #fitness #fit #follow #me #life #igers #federer #nadal

22.01.2022 We've all heard people talk about how someone's become an overnight success. Quite frankly, overnight successes are usually anything but... Success in any form of the word doesnt suddenly just come up out of nowhere. Unfortunately some people seem to have this common understanding that it does or that it can for that matter. This perception couldnt be further from the truth. In most cases, what appears to be a sudden rise to stardom is often the manifestation of years of ...hard work, discipline, frustration, trial and error and countless hours spent honing their craft. A lot of blood, sweat and tears. When it comes to success, there is no shortcuts. There is no magical wand. It's a long journey and you have to stay hungry 100% of the time. Are you truly passionate about your dream to keep going despite possibly taking 10+ years to achieve it? Are you patient and discipline enough to continue grinding day after day no matter what challenges come at you? You decide. You make the choice. #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tennislife #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #tennislove #instatennis #believe #success #journey #obstacles #goals #greatness #success #mindset #love #instagood #photooftheday #learning #education #follow #instalike #life #igers #igdaily

22.01.2022 Melbourne! Have you been making the most out of this current lockdown situation?!? Are you going to come out fitter, stronger, mentally tougher and more educated than you were before?!? "I don't have time", "I had to do this", "I had to do that", "Yeah I want to be the best but I just can't fit everything in". We hear this a lot. Yet everyone who is or has been successful has managed to do it.... So why can't you make it happen? Does your goals in life not mean enough to you? We love to blame lack of time for our own inability to achieve our goals. But it isnt a lack of time but a lack of commitment that is the problem. It isnt not enough time, but the misuse of the time we have. If you feel as though you are not making the most of your time today, take a moment to plan out how you could better utilise your skills and hone in on your passion and goals. Keep it simple by writing down what you want to achieve everyday, and cross it off as you go. You'll find that you'll have plenty of free time to do other things as well. Time is something you can never get back! #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tennislife #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #tennislove #instatennis #believe #success #time #goals #love #instagood #photooftheday #family #fun #follow #instalike #life #melbourne #australia #italy #quotes #qotd #discipline

20.01.2022 Your time to shine is NOW! Excuses can always be there, but opportunities will not. So it's in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped. During these uncertain times we need to remain optimistic. No matter how big our challenges are right now, we need to keep believing in ourselves and keep having a positive outlook on life. All the pressures and challenges is an opportunity for you to rise up. ... Optimism separates the greats from the rest. You need to find positivity in any given situation, and set your mind to be okay with whatever comes your way. Just as long as you're giving 100%. In tennis and in life, not everything will go your way. You're not going to win every match or win every challenge. But you must learn from it and make sure your efforts are there every single day. Don't let past failures or setbacks stop you from what you want to become. Everyday is an opportunity to showcase what you can do :@cl.photoediting #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tennislife #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #tennislove #instatennis #believe #success #journey #obstacles #goals #greatness #melbourne #australia #italy #federer #nadal #igers #igdaily #love #instagood #photooftheday #fun

19.01.2022 The question isn't "Why play tennis?" Instead, it's more like "Why not?" Studies have shown that playing tennis makes a person healthier, happier and smarter. Not to mention the fact that it's fun! Tennis helps, among other things, to increase speed, leg strength, agility, bone strength and density, flexibility and eye-hand coordination. On the surface, tennis is a pretty simple game to start: The object being to hit the tennis ball over a net roughly a metre high onto the o...pponent's side of the court and hope it doesn't come back. Tennis skills can be taught to anyone even as young as 3yo up into the senior years. Being a lifelong sport, it helps develop great habits and confidence that you can use on and off the court and where you can create lifelong friendships. Thanks to the work that @tennisaustralia (and our State governing body, @tennisvic) has done, player participation has been increasing every year, especially among adults. Whatever your age, ability level or objectives, @itennis_melbourne has a program for everyone from juniors to adults. We've been working hard to improve all of our programs during this lockdown to come out better and stronger, so there's no better time to contact us to find a program that best suits your needs. #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tennislife #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #tennislove #instatennis #believe #love #motivation #instagood #photooftheday #beautiful #happy #picoftheday #quarantine #sport #followers #fitness #fit #fitfam #follow #igers #igdaily #melbourne

19.01.2022 @serenawilliams started tennis at the early age of 4, and competed in her first grand slam by the time she was 16 at the @australianopen. In less than a month, Serena will be turning 39. Meaning, she has spent nearly 35 years playing tennis, and nearly 23 years playing tennis at the highest level! She is not just one of the best tennis players of all time, she is also one of the greatest athletes across all sports of all time regardless of gender. ... Why has Serena been able to stay at the top for so long? One of the reasons is her unwavering focus. For 35 years and counting, Serena has had the ability to concentrate, stay disciplined and continually build her game. Serena has always known what she's wanted, and how and what she needs to do to achieve it. Being better every day amongst the pressures of the public and competition takes discipline. And when the focus is lacking, its near-impossible to do that. Focus is one of the most important things that has taken Serena to the very top. When being better every day is the most important goal, focus is the guiding light. It's a dedication. It's a sacrifice. It's everything you must do if you want to be great. Without focus, the clarity of your goal isnt as sharp. Your focus determines your reality. #Repost @australianopen USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center Live tennis. Big battles.

19.01.2022 Meet your your iTennis Coach - Anthony Haddad Anth first picked up a racket at the age of 8 for some fun but quit shortly after to play footy. He realised footy wasn't a real sport so he returned back to tennis when he was 15. Starting off in group lessons, Anth went straight into the NSJTA league. Due to starting late, he wanted to progress quickly through the ranks so transitioned into private lessons and squad sessions. His hard work paid off which got him to A grade 1 ...within a couple of years. Anth's passion and love for tennis still keeps him playing in some Men's AMT tournaments from time to time. At the age of 19, Anth joined our coaching team and hasn't looked back. His passion and energy that he brings to every session is a testament to the kids he has introduced both into our hot shots league and local club comp. His willingness to grow has led Anth to be versatile and work with both juniors and adults in a range of different programs. Anth loves watching a lot of different tennis players on tour because of the variety of styles they bring to the table. However the crowd favourite, the , @rogerfederer is his favourite player due to his knowledge, versatility and humbleness. Anthony says that in life, when you carry the 3 tools which are motivation, passion and resilience, you will go all the way in life. By finding an activity you love, you'll persist and fight on till the last siren sounds. That's what he lives by everyday and why he enjoys coaching and helping people achieve their goals on and off the court. Other than tennis, Anth enjoys playing the piano (for over 10 years), goes for the @carlton_fc (which his favourite players are @patrickcripps and @eddiebthe3rd), and also enjoys exercising. As you can see, it's never too late to start! Hopefully we get to hit the courts soon.

19.01.2022 How many times have you had a negative thought before starting a task? Whether it be "I can't be bothered", "I'll do it later", "It's too hard", etc. There will be a lot of times when you will come across some challenging tasks. Some might be hard, some might be boring, some might be time consuming. And after witnessing those tasks, you could lose hope in the beginning and not even bother to achieve those objectives. ... This is the moment things go wrong. If you have a positive attitude at the beginning of the task, no one can stop you from accomplishing it. The most crucial thing that will decide your outcome is your attitude in the beginning. Therefore, do not let the negative mentality take over your brain. It will not only ruin your efforts but could also take you to a depressive state. Make sure that your positivity is the key to everything. You'll either grow or stay where you are. You decide. #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tennislife #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #tennislove #instatennis #believe #success #journey #goals #greatness #positivevibes #quotes #qotd #action #discipline #love #instagood #photooftheday #style #melbourne #australia

18.01.2022 Myth or Legend? Behind our courts in Arona, Italy, lies "Rocca di Arona" (the Rock of Arona). All the locals have told us that every 100 years, a door opens to a magical world where there is a beautiful fairy and a pot of gold. ... If you're lucky enough to be there at this time, as you make your way inside, you have two choices. You can choose to live with the fairy and live forever in the magic world, or became rich with the pot of gold in our world. Which would you choose if you had the choice? Some ancestors have said to have disappeared every 100 years after last being seen visiting "Rocca di Arona"... #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tennislife #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #tennislove #instatennis #mythology #legend #italy #australia #love #instagood #photooftheday #family #fun #follow #instalike #life #igers #igdaily #federer #nadal

17.01.2022 Let's face it. Playing in the wind can be frustrating at times. But it does create a bit more of a level playing field for you and your opponent. Below we will look at 3 tips for winning in the wind. 1. Adjust your mindset. Control your emotions and expect a tough day at the office. You may not play at your best and might have to change your game plan, but stay calm and patient. ... 2. Footwork. Be prepared to take smaller adjustment steps before contact. More unforced could come from setting up too early and not adjusting your footwork. 3. Balance. Being balanced is extremely important. Keeping a stable base and a steady head is also key to hard, consistent and accurate shots. Focus on the things you can control. Keep your composure, work hard with your feet, and control your body when executing your shots. #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tennislife #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #tennislove #instatennis #believe #success #journey #obstacles #goals #mindset #footwork #balance #melbourne #melbournecity #melbournetodo #australia #italy #federer #nadal #igers #igdaily

16.01.2022 Think about the times you have gotten angry with yourself for missing a pass on the stretch. Or for making mistakes on big points. Now ask yourself, do you practice those shots a lot? Do you put yourself in pressure situations in practice enough times so you can come up with the goods on big points? If your answer is that you don't practice it a lot, then how can you expect to perform under pressure? This is the difference between the great and the good. The great perform ev...en better under pressure. So to be able to have self-confidence and truly believe in your own ability, you have to do the prep work. The constant repetition. The hard yards. The discipline to keep doing the same thing over and over again until you can't get it wrong. Then because you've done it so many times, it will be automatic to you when that situation arises. You need to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. Get used to the hard shots. Get used to the pressure situations. Get out of your comfort zone. Now when the time comes to come up with a clutch shot, to step up on a big point, or to dig yourself out of a tough situation, you'll have the self-confidence to do so because you have already prepared for that moment. Remember to prepare and to put yourself in tough situations, and then believe in yourself when the time comes. #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tennislife #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #tennislove #instatennis #believe #success #journey #act #action #prepare #quotes #qotd #melbourne #melbournecity #melbournetodo #melbourneblogger #australia #italy

14.01.2022 "Tomorrow I'll start running". "Tomorrow I'll get up earlier and be more productive". "Tomorrow I'll eat better". ... "Tomorrow I'll __________". Put your hand up if you've said something along those lines? And how many times did you actually do that thing the next day? If you go about your day with the mindset of Tomorrow, I’ll do this or that, your goals will always be delayed or become out of reach. So what can you do to change that? It's to ACT NOW. You must live each day as if it were your last chance to do what you’ve always wanted to do or your last chance to achieve your goals. So, if you're the type of person that puts things off and procrastinates, CHANGE! By changing your thought process, you can become more efficient and tackle more obstacles that stand between you and your goals. Change is inevitable, but growth is optional. Act now and make the change so that you can say that you did everything you possibly could to achieve your goals and to become the person you want to be. #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennis #tenis #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #believe #success #journey #goals #greatness #melbswest #melbourne #melbournecity #melbournetodo #australia #italy #federer #nadal #igers #igdaily #love #instagood #photooftheday #family #fun #follow #instalike #life

13.01.2022 Club competition is back on in Melbourne and @itennis_melbourne are big supporters of it! Sometimes tennis can be an individual sport, but playing in your local club competition or our hotshots matchplay league gives our players a deeper love for the game. Through a team environment, children develop respect for team mates and opponents, discipline by learning to play as a team and follow the rules, and patience by having to work alongside other players. Being in a team teac...hes them that the team comes before their own needs or desires. If you missed out on signing up at any of our clubs, @carolinespringstennisclub @hillsidetennisclub @sydenhamtc, and would like to know more about club competition or our in-house matchplay league, please contact us #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #believe #success #journey #goals #greatness #melbswest #melbourne #melbournetodo #australia #federer #nadal #igers #igdaily #love #instagood #photooftheday #family #fun #follow #instalike #life

12.01.2022 Spanish feeding, or hand feeding, helps work on numerous aspects of your game. As a coach, we have more control of the speed and timing of the feed, we can communicate better with our players, and we can see their technique and footwork more clearly by being closer to our player when hand feeding. Today we will explore how Spanish feeding can help your footwork and balance to make you move quickly, gracefully and to get in position. Perfect shots cannot be executed if playe...rs aren't in a position to execute the shot. Footwork is the true way to prepare for a shot, and allows the player to be in position, and to follow through with form and technique. Having great footwork allows you to position yourself perfectly pre-shot. Without balance, a player cannot be consistent and therefore lose confidence in their game. Our coaches are trained to look for imbalances when our players are on the move, during the shot, and on the recovery. Players need to move gracefully with dynamic balance and good posture. Posture is very important as well as controlling your centre of gravity. Sometimes a player must shift his or her center of gravity, in order to move quickly to a shot, but more often than not, and especially during the execution of the shot itself, the body should be centered. Rotation should take place around a central axis with contact between your hip and shoulder. This is your strike zone where you can generate the most power. Your body should be positioned such that your contact point is played early, to the side of your body and out in front. This relates prominently to the technical goal of good extension in the forward swing. Always make sure you get behind the ball so that the ball can be played out in front. If you can move fast, get into position and stay balanced, this will help you with your consistency, power and accuracy. #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #fitness #success #journey #goals #greatness #melbourne #melbournecity #australia #italy #federer #nadal #igers #igdaily #love #instagood #photooftheday #family #fun #follow #instalike #life

Perfect for all ANZ Hot Shots players, we have set out lesson plans for every level so that your child can excel whilst in lockdown.... Want to find out more or give it a try?

12.01.2022 A very crucial aspect of our coaching role is to focus on ways to further develop our players. So, in the search for improvement, us coaches need to evaluate all of our programs including finding ways to increase our effectiveness as leaders. One of the ways we can better serve our players is to take an active role in learning. This is why our coach development sessions are important so that we strengthen, improve, enhance, refine and hone existing skills, and to also develo...p newer ones. Whether it's one of our more experienced coaches or our first year coach, professional development is a continual goal to improve our tennis programs. Through keeping current with the latest training methods, techniques, drills, activities and having open and honest feedback with each other, we can deliver the best lessons to our players. Professional development is not something that is overlooked within our coaching team. If we ask our players to improve, we as coaches have a duty to continually learn so that it can bring immediate benefits to all of our players. Such leadership by example sets the stage for future success for our coaches and programs, and further validates the meaningful work that we do. #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #believe #success #journey #goals #greatness #melbourne #melbournecity #australia #italy #federer #nadal #igers #igdaily #love #instagood #photooftheday #family #fun #follow #instalike #life

11.01.2022 Smiles all round from our inclusion team! Due to our current situation, it's been a while since we've seen our superstars down at the courts. Every player has truly benefited from the program so far. Not only have their ball-striking and all round tennis skills improved, but so has their confidence, problem solving skills and their overall fitness. ... Working together and gaining their trust has been an important part of our inclusion program for every player. Also, getting to know each and every one of them has not only made us smile, but put things into perspective. It let's us understand them better so that we can set the drills accordingly to keep them progressing and enjoying tennis every week. Consistent routines on the court really help them know what to expect and it makes them feel comfortable. Even though we give them assistance, we try to let them do each activity or drill independently. Our coaches give them just enough help to be successful without helping them too much. No matter what, they're ALWAYS smiling. The only thing we see is their DisABILITY. Know a player, group or organisation that would like to be a part of our program? Let us know and we can reach out to them #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #inclusion #tennis #tenis #tennislife #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #tennislove #instatennis #believe #success #journey #goals #greatness #melbswest #melbourne #australia #italy #federer #nadal #igers #igdaily #love #instagood #photooftheday #family

11.01.2022 We're missing all of our players especially our Cardio Tennis crew! To all the adults and parents out there, have you tried this before?!? If you haven't, you're missing out! This is our most popular adult program where you can build up your tennis and fitness levels through fun and intense drills.... Our players love knowing that the workout is going to burn heaps of calories, do heaps of steps and help them to get fit all within an hour of non-stop fun! What if you haven't played tennis before? It doesn't matter! We have helped many beginners fall in love with this program and have got them striking the ball well during their first lesson! We can also provide you with a racket if you don't have one. Everyone's fitness level is different, but our coaches can slightly modify the drills for you to make sure everyone feels comfortable, but pushed at the same time. Lessons are on hold at the moment, but to find out more info and to book in your FREE first session, contact us now! #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tennislife #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #tennislove #instatennis #fitness #fit #fitfam #love #instagood #beautiful #selfie #instadaily #fun #instalike #life #instagram #melbourne #australia #italy #federer #nadal #igers

11.01.2022 With the pandemic that surrounds us, especially us in Melbourne that are back in lock down for 6 weeks, it's important not to dwell on things out of our control. We still have to make the most out of every day, every opportunity, every moment. Our lives are created by our thoughts. So with every experience, you alone are painting your own canvas, thought by thought, choice by choice. The choice to be excellent begins with aligning your thoughts and words with the intention t...o require more from yourself. Keep pushing yourself out of your comfort zone to become the change you want to see. One of the most significant things @oprah teaches us is how empowering or limiting your belief in yourself can actually be. Remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure and that you will make the most of it. #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tennislife #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #tennislove #instatennis #believe #success #journey #oprah #empowerment #opportunity #moment #thoughts #choices #day #melbourne #melbournecity #melbournetodo #australia #italy #igers #igdaily

09.01.2022 Like many, we are frustrated that some of our programs have been put on hold until Melbourne can get the second outbreak of Covid-19 under control. While this means an interruption to some training programs, it does not mean that you are unable to keep developing your game! Its important that players maintain continuity in their court time, and long spells off the court can be damaging to a players development.... One of the things that every tennis player knows is their tennis ability is directly linked to the amount of time they spend on the court. With that in mind, we are extremely happy with the number of players that have secured their semi-private/private lessons already. The benefits and more individualised attention from these lessons will ensure our players will keep developing their game and come out of lockdown ahead of the pack. Contact us now to find out more and to secure one of the last remaining spots on offer. #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tennislife #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #tennislove #instatennis #sports #develop #maintain #lesson #teach #educate #care #melbourne #melbournecity #melbournetodo #melbourneblogger #australia #italy #followers #follow #igers #igdaily

09.01.2022 Term 3 is back from tomorrow! Are you ready?!? Tennis is one of the reasons you can leave home to exercise. We can only run private lessons for at least the first 5 weeks. But that's still OK, right? If you're ready to take your tennis to the next level, contact us now. Spots for private lessons are limited and filling up fast!... @brimbank @cityofmeltonofficial @tennisvic @tennisaustralia #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tennislife #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #tennislove #instatennis #believe #success #seeyouonthecourt #melbourne #melbournecity #melbournetodo #australia #italy #federer #nadal #igers #igdaily

09.01.2022 Excuses are the enemy of any player. It makes you brush aside responsibility and places the blame for bad performances on external factors or other people. Some players come to training or tournaments with an excuse in hand and some athletes make excuses in the middle of it. But both situations take the responsibility out of your hands and gives control to some force outside of yourself. Excuses would have been easy for Rafael Nadal to make at the 2018 US Open. He lost the f...irst set 0-6 against Dominic Thiem. Instead of looking for excuses, he went out looking to make adjustments. Nadal battled on to win 0-6 6-4 7-5 6-7 (4-7) 7-6 (7-5). After the match, Nadal said, I am the guy to look at myself. I needed to move forward, to change that dynamic, and I did. But the first step to change that dynamic is not to find an excuse on the racket or on the string or on something that is not the truth. The only truth is that you have to do things better to be able to fight for the point and fight for the match. Nadal knew that excuses wouldn't get him out of trouble. For him to turn things around, he needed to focus on making adjustments to his tactics and continue to fight for every point. You always have a choice: You can embrace excuses or you can fight for your potential. So which will you fight for? Choose to be problem solver rather than an excuse finder. #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennis #tenis #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #believe #success #journey #goals #greatness #melbswest #melbourne #melbournecity #melbournetodo #australia #italy #federer #nadal #igers #igdaily #love #instagood #photooftheday #family #fun #follow #instalike #life

09.01.2022 Right now, small wins really matter. Even though our players in Melbourne can't take to the court, there's many other things you can do to improve your game. Go for a run instead of relaxing on the couch. Create your own daily stretching program instead of playing games on your console. Work on your mindset instead of being on your phone or ipad. Eat clean instead of binging out on junk. Do daily exercise instead of indulging in marathon TV shows. ... When you're stuck at home, the small wins will separate you from your competitors. You decide. #itennis #itennisacademy #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tennislife #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #tennislove #instatennis #believe #love #melbourneiloveyou #melbourneblogger #melbourneeats #motivation #fitnessgear #runningmotivation #melbournefood #fitnessblogger #fitness #exercise #melbourne #instagood #photooftheday #beautiful #happy #picoftheday #quarantine

08.01.2022 At times finding the right motivation in life can be difficult, but you might find that the times when you feel the most inspired to do better is when your back is up against the wall. As you can gather, Dolly Parton resembles success with rainbows and struggles with the rain. And Rainbow (success) always come after the rain (struggle)! Through struggle, you build strength. So when you learn to see your struggles as opportunities to become stronger, better, fitter, resilient..., then your thinking shifts from 'I can't do this' to 'I must do this.' Remember that the road to success will have many obstacles. You'll face many challenges and setbacks. You must ready yourself for the adversity before you begin your journey, and know that it will take a lot of time, effort and patience. It won't be easy, and neither is it meant to be. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it. But it will be worthwhile if you persist long enough and do all the right things without cutting any corners. If you want the rainbow, you have to have the courage to endure the rainy days as well. #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #success #journey #obstacles #goals #greatness #melbourne #melbournecity #australia #italy #federer #nadal #igers #igdaily #love #instagood #photooftheday #family #fun #follow #instalike #life

07.01.2022 Wishing @nadeenshrebati all the best as she embarks on a new and exciting journey in her life. A late starter at 10yo at the academy, Nadeen was able to climb up the ranks in a short period of time to be top 15 in the state when she was 16. Troubled by a major injury shortly after, Nadeen changed her goal to getting a good education, whilst continuing tennis.... This has led her to playing college tennis next year in the United States. Nadeen is a bright, intelligent, hard-working and respectful lady who has been a pleasure to coach, and an even bigger pleasure to have at the academy. She recently accepted an offer from @imgatennis to get some much needed training in, whilst finishing off her last year of school before she heads into college life. As Nadeen heads off this Saturday, we'd like to thank her for letting us be part of her journey. Good luck and all the best on the next chapter in your life. #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tennislife #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #tennislove #college #usa #believe #success #journey #goals #love #instagood #photooftheday #family #fun #instalike #life #melbourne #australia #amazing #instadaily #igers #igdaily

07.01.2022 We know that a lot of hard work and discipline towards something will help you reach your goals or achieve a certain outcome both in tennis and in life. But while we strive for discipline and hard work from our players, we can’t forget the importance of fun! We must remember that fun isn’t the enemy of hard work. Below are 4 reasons for keeping the fun in junior tennis:... No matter how much we talk about hard work and discipline, the bottom line is kids will quit if they don’t have any fun. Through creativity, you can create this environment with a balance of fun, discipline and hard work. Research shows that fun is serious business for kids. When kids are having fun, learning becomes natural and easy and happens best when it’s a side-effect of a fun activity. It helps them learn to solve problems, get along with others, express creativity and develop physical skills and flexibility . ’ Laughter’s ability to lessen stress is one very good reason why it should be a part of a child’s development. Believe it or not, having a sense of humor helps develop a child’s self-esteem, problem-solving abilities and social skills. In moments of fun, something amazing happens. Walls come down between players and coaches, and bonds are built. We believe tennis, and sports in general, was originally designed for the purpose of fun. But this often gets lost in the pressure of competition or in the pursuit of success. So, coaches and parents, let’s not shun the fun in our child's tennis! Do you believe fun should be factored into junior activities?

06.01.2022 THIS IS HOW WE DO IT! (Sound on!) We just love our iTennis family! What a great turnout with over 40 kids coming down to develop their tennis, learn some new skills, make some new friends and most importantly, have some fun! All of our players have enjoyed the 3 day clinic, which ends today, and the coaches couldn't have been more happier with the commitment and enthusiasm all the players brought to the court!... Thank you once again for continuing to let iTennis be part of your tennis journey! #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennis #tenis #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #believe #success #journey #goals #greatness #melbswest #melbourne #melbournecity #melbournetodo #australia #italy #federer #nadal #igers #igdaily #love #instagood #photooftheday #family #fun #follow #instalike #life

06.01.2022 We all know how much every one of our Melbourne family loves their tennis, so we know youre going to be feeling as frustrated as we are. Not being able to get out on court, well it sucks! But as painful as lockdown is, we dont want to compound the problem of not being able to hit a ball by also losing all our physical conditioning. Alarmingly, studies show for ever week you dont exercise intensely you lose 2.5 weeks of conditioning. That means after 6 weeks in isolation it... will take you 15 weeks of hard training to get back to where you are today! Its easy to make excuses, blame Covid-19 and tell yourself because you cant get on court theres nothing you can do to improve your game. But there is! The best players in the world know the key to success on the court is based on the work they do off the court to improve their fitness levels. So, we want to make sure our comp players and adults return to the courts in better shape than before they went into lockdown. From as little as $30 a week for up to 4 x 1hr zoom fitness sessions EVERY WEEK, you can get back on the court and looking fitter and sharper than ever when we come out of lockdown. Well done to the players who pushed themselves yesterday. Lets not waste this opportunity to improve your game by improving your fitness base. Contact us for more info. #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tennislife #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #tennislove #instatennis #fitness #fit #fitfam #love #instagood #photooftheday #family #fun #follow #instalike #life #melbourne #australia #amazing #instadaily #friends #igers #motivation

06.01.2022 If somebody was with you everyday of the week, would they be able to tell what you're working towards and how good you want to be? If the answer is no, it's up to you to change it. Action is the foundational key to all success. Everything we aim to do has to be converted into action, otherwise it's worthless. Always remember that 1 hour of action is better than 100 hours of intention. Take massive imperfect action and then continuously tweak and adjust it from there.

05.01.2022 Now that holidays are finished, who's ready to start exercising and burn off all that festive food? Sometimes the problem is, for many of us, that exercise can be boring and lonely. But it's definitely not the case with our Cardio Tennis sessions as you can see from the faces of all of our players last week! There are lots of ways that we make exercise fun without you even realising that you're burning calories and getting fit, all with a few laughs in the process! ... So whether you're wanting to shed some holiday weight off, get fitter, train with a great bunch of people, or just want to hit a lot of balls, send us a message to secure a spot! #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #believe #success #journey #goals #greatness #melbswest #melbourne #melbournecity #melbournetodo #australia #nadal #igers #igdaily #love #instagood #photooftheday #family #fun #follow #instalike #life

Be it your own kids, others kids, your family, people youve mentored, people youve coached, and the world at large. Thank you for all that you do. Thank you for showing up and being you. We appreciate your existence and impactful role you have played in our lives. It's not an easy thing, but you're making a huge difference in your child's life -- now, an...d every day of your child's future. Every hug you give, every joke you share, every moment that you listen patiently, every time you take a deep breath and see things from your child's perspective, every time you role model for your child how to show up with integrity, you're shaping your child into a person who will make you proud. We celebrate you! #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tennislife #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #tennislove #instatennis #happyfathersday #celebrate #amazing #love #care #melbourne #melbournecity #melbournetodo #australia #italy #federer #nadal #igers #igdaily #follow #instagood #family #fun

04.01.2022 Time is the most valuable commodity. So precious that you are unable to buy more. Once you've lost time, it can never be replenished. So with this being the case, are you making the most out of your time now? Or are you wasting a lot of your time? You’re the only one who can spend YOUR time. And how you spend your time reveals your true values, goals and what life you'd like to live. You could say tennis is important to you, but if you're too "busy" to spend time on putting... in the hours, doing your fitness and injury prevention work, looking after your body and what you put into it, then we would question how truthful you are being about what you really want to achieve. Before you spend any time on a task, take a moment to think about your values or goals. And ask yourself, How truly valuable is this task? Will this help me achieve what I want to achieve?" The time you spend on certain things will directly impact your future. So don't let time pass you by and start to take action that will help you reach your goals. Make every second count and take complete control of your life! #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennis #tenis #time #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #believe #success #journey #goals #greatness #melbswest #melbourne #melbournecity #australia #italy #federer #nadal #igers #igdaily #love #instagood #photooftheday #family #fun #follow #instalike #life

03.01.2022 Sometimes we all have new aspirations in life and largely these revolve around fitness and sports. It's been great to see many new faces at our Academy testing their skills at tennis, like Isabel and Phoebe above. Did you know learning something new is good for you brain? ... It challenges you, and improves cognitive functions. In addition to teaching you new skills, it also helps you to problem solve. You’re sure to make mistakes in the beginning (it’s the only way to learn) but it’ll leave you a more rounded, stronger person. At the start, tennis will teach you to reimagine your comfort boundaries in addition to making you empowered. Learning a new skill, like tennis, does exactly this. This is an opportunity for you to become so absorbed in the activities that time seems to stand still. Life can also sometimes fall into periods of routine. But at iTennis, our first focus is to make sure you have fun and really enjoy the sport. Researchers found that one of the things that people need to be happy is to be engaged in difficult-but-doable activities. You'll leave happier, healthier, and with skills for a sport that you can play for life! #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #believe #success #journey #goals #melbournecity #melbournetodo #melbourne #australia #italy #federer #nadal #igers #igdaily #love #instagood #photooftheday #family #fun #follow #instalike #life

03.01.2022 How often do you practice tactics? Do you have a "go-to" strategy that you can rely on in big points? Once you get into your match, your tactics and mindset are the two most important factors that will help you to win your match. Below is 3 things you should look to implement into your training sessions:... - Realise what your strengths are and turn them into real weapons. Also look to set up tactics to make the most out of your strengths. - Practice a range of patterns so that you know what to do in different situations. - Practice, practice, practice your "go-to" combination so that it becomes automatic. The more you practice this, the more confidence you will have in yourself to be able to execute this tactic no matter what the situation is. Remember it's not just doing it once for 15 minutes. You will need to repeat this over and over again until it becomes second nature. #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tennislife #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #tennislove #instatennis #believe #success #journey #tactical #strategy #mindset #mental #repetition #educate #learn #teach #grow #confidence #practice #igers #igdaily #melbourne #australia

02.01.2022 A lot of times players go out and have already lost before their match has begun. This is because they focus on their opponent, rankings, obstacles, etc. The majority of people spend time focusing on what could go wrong or who they're facing instead of their plans/goals. And when you shift your focus to constraints, it becomes harder for you to achieve your goals. Don’t waste your energy on all the bad situations but instead use 100% of your focus in creating a desirable out...come. Make sure you focus on your goals instead of the obstacles. It is the only way by which you can overcome your hurdles, as well as reach your desired destination. Besides, it will teach you a lot of lessons that will be beneficial for you in the future. Your future success depends on it. Once you get clear on your goals use a laser-like focus to work towards them and nothing else. #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennis #tenis #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #believe #success #journey #goals #greatness #melbswest #melbourne #melbournecity #melbournetodo #australia #italy #federer #nadal #igers #igdaily #love #instagood #photooftheday #family #fun #follow #instalike #life

02.01.2022 Is being 1% better than where you were yesterday, still better? HELL YEAH!!! Just because you don't see a massive improvement everyday doesn't mean you're not getting better. A little better every day adds up to being a lot better, forever. ... Whether you want to be a better player. A better coach. A better teacher. A better team player. A better leader. Or just a better person. If you want to be better, start doing it today. If you're passionate about what you do, you'll be better. Because obsession fuels success. Our team is dedicated and committed to constantly growing and pushing boundaries so that we can continue to bring our iTennis family the very best. The picture above was taken a couple of days before we went into stage 4 lockdown. The focus of this workshop was to trial our new activities from our revamped hot shots lesson plans. We also recreated our whole ANZ Hot Shots pathway to give our players a better experience, which we were hoping to roll out in term 3! Through our passion, we inspire generations of players to be their best and to love what they do.

01.01.2022 How much of your success would come down to your choices, actions or your behaviours versus outside conditions? If your mind-set is that youre responsible for everything you do, youll likely be successful in life. But if you blame your problems and failures on other people, you're setting yourself up for failure. Below are 3 skill-sets you can learn to make you more accountable:... Responsibility When youre truly responsible, you believe that success or failure is up to you. It's a way of thinking and being. You own your commitment to a result before the fact and before you even take action. Self-empowerment By empowering yourself, you take the actionsand the risksto achieve a result and get what you want. Don't wait for someone to empower you or give you a break. Get outside of your comfort zone and make things happen. Personal accountability Unlike responsibility (the before) and self-empowerment (the during), personal accountability is the after. You're answerable for the outcomes of your choices, actions, and behaviors. When youre personally accountable, you stop assigning blame on people and making excuses. Choose accountability and own your success at tennis and in your life journey. #itennis #itennisacademy #itennisaus #tennisvic #tennisaustralia #tennis #tenis #tennislife #tenniscourt #tennisplayer #tennislove #instatennis #believe #success #journey #obstacles #goals #mindset #responsibility #accountability #empowerment #choices #action #quotes #qotd #melbourne #melbournecity #australia
