My “Tsunami Breathing” program combines latest knowledge on the field of human breathing physiology with quintessential distillate of centering techniques from inner martial arts and Samurai legacy. The result of this unique combination is breathing patterns specially tailored to allow tennis pros to:

– optimize energy expenditure during the match,

– minimize deviations in movement leading to errors,

– improve timing by tying breathing patterns to the opponent’s movement,

– maintain mental focus through the match as close as possible to 100%.

My approach to mental and physical resilience in tennis is unique and combines following:

1. Breathing: optimization of automatical breathing patterns that helped soviet astronauts optimise their space journey and many russian athletes win gold medals. 
2. Centering: focus training based on Aikido and Samurai techniques, which is also called Living Silence or Stillness in Action. We work with focus and defocus techniques, both sight-based and mental.
3. Stroke specific approach: Breathing patterns training for every stroke type and all situations both on-court and off-court, during the match and for breaks.

The aforementioned UCA is implemented through a very concrete, learnable instrument that I can teach slowly – and without disrupting the training by the main tennis coach.

• The training program will consist of short Videos and Audios for an intensive and enjoyable everyday learning process.
• The content is pushed to the player every morning in the app on his or her phone (the app is tested on many clients).
• Player’s breathing will be registered in the app – and analysed on our weekly live Q&As to refine the training routine.
