## About Tennis Coaching

### My Coaching Approach

I'm all about real work, not fake promises. If you're looking for shortcuts or asking "result kab aayega?" (when will I get results?), this probably isn't your stop. I'm here to build your LEVEL, not just chase trophies. Jab tak level nahi hai, result nahi aayega (without a solid base, results won't come). I focus on tennis technique improvement and daily grind. Results follow only when you commit to the process.

### How I Got Here

I lived for tennis, played on the ATP circuit, and put my heart into it. Then, a blood clot and paralysis ended my pro career. That setback gave me a new direction - to be the coach I wish I'd had, and to support Indian players properly. Coaching isn't a job for me, it's my mission.

### What Makes My Method Different

We do things differently. No random hitting or chasing AITA points blindly. You’ll get:
- Quality over quantity - intensity matters more than hours
- Structured tennis program, with clear plans for every stage
- Mehnat aur imandaari (hard work and honesty) - no shortcuts

### Programs for Every Level

- Junior tennis training (age 3+): Not about winning under-10, but building clean strokes from the start
- Beginners & recreational: Simple, actionable steps to get you rallying and serving in days
- High-performance training: For serious players aiming for the pro circuit, including mental toughness in tennis sessions

### What Training Really Looks Like

It’s a full system - mobility, tactics, fitness, recovery, mental training, and more. Every session is planned, nothing random.

### Online Option

Can’t come to Delhi? My online tennis coaching is for sincere players only. Direct support, live sessions, personalized plans, and 24/7 feedback - but only if you’re actually ready to work.

Are you ready to give it your all?

- [Video: Everyone in India is obsessed with playing tournaments, but they forget the most important thing: building a solid foundation. I don't train players to chase AITA points; I train them to build a world-class level. Come to my academy and see how we build complete players from the ground up, starting as young as three years old.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/df67399e-b952-4e21-ba90-d9bc524c6eb1)
- [Video: This is what it's all about. Seeing a player's serve transform from age 9 to 11 is a powerful reminder that with the right technique and a lot of heart, anything is possible. This journey from a basic motion to a powerful, confident serve shows the real progress we focus on. Onwards and upwards.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/d2939426-849d-416a-bcd2-c252651179af)

My junior development program ensures a clean technique from day one.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/eaa25e1e-58ed-4686-9773-cebdb0d4939c)
- ![This was a proud moment. Becoming a GPTCA "A" level certified coach, the 2nd youngest in the world and only the 3rd Indian, is a testament to my commitment. From being an ATP ranked player to an ATP certified coach and speaker, I bring international-level expertise to every player I train.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/f409f583-d9bc-444f-a2fe-f70a56b7bc1a)
- [Video: Choosing a tennis academy shouldn't be an emotional decision based on convenience. It must be a professional one based on structure and results. I personally invite you to my academy to see how a professional program is structured, covering mobility, fitness, tennis, and recovery.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/1695e877-72e1-433a-93af-559465a0a337)

### [My Coaching Philosophy: No Shortcuts, Just Level](https://mytribe.in/arnaaav_/tennis-coaching/my-coaching-philosophy-no-shortcuts-just-level)

- [Video: In India, everyone asks athletes for a backup plan. I say, forget Plan B. If you give your 100 percent with full sincerity, you will find your way. Stop making excuses and focus on finding the solution.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/c0a749bb-509a-444e-9916-9823c674d9d4)
- [Video: The biggest mistake in Indian sports is focusing on results before the process. You don't open a clinic before getting your MBBS degree, do you? You must invest in quality training from day one to build the right technique, otherwise you waste years unlearning bad habits.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/0cd37558-e14c-4268-b7dd-cc4f44ec8ce9)
- [Video: This is the truth about the Indian coaching system that many don't want to hear. A cheap coach might save you money now, but they can't build your career. Parents and players need to be aware and invest in coaches who are committed to improving themselves and their players.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/9723014e-3544-4b4d-ac42-236908779601)
- [Video: Tennis in India seems expensive because players and parents make a critical mistake: they start playing tournaments before they are ready. Focus on building your level first, so you can win titles, not just participate. I can help you create a smart plan.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/72f32584-6244-4bea-8208-7a3bed30efa8)
- [Video: Talent gets you started, but being coachable is what guarantees long-term success. A player with a growth mindset who listens to feedback will always outperform a talented player who thinks they know it all. I look for coachability above all else.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/dbe8e02a-ea80-4689-966f-88e94f989e8b)
- [Video: Coaching is my ministry. I know there are parents praying for a coach who will guide and lead their child. My promise is to be that coach. I don't just run drills; I build character, resilience, and futures.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/e9a15267-34df-4543-acf7-e17f1b4a77ab)
- [Video: I disagree with the idea that you shouldn't pursue sports if you don't have a strong financial background. The world is competitive, but that doesn't mean you give up. You need to hustle, add skills to your life, and take charge of your own career.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/f951e5d4-1825-457a-9736-8e4aec7f4109)
- [Video: Only watch this if you can handle the truth. Indian athletes are lazy. After practice, they behave like the day is over, scrolling reels for hours instead of researching their career path. Stop playing the victim card and take responsibility for your future.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/638a74d1-9086-4753-a1f4-a5416009e613)
- [Video: If you get bored with repetition, you are not made for professional sports. You can't jump from forehand to backhand to serve without mastering anything. First, become capable enough by perfecting one thing at a time. The tournaments and points will come later.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/549cef63-e51d-4d48-8de7-50e95e6dbef2)
- [Video: The 20 seconds between points are the most crucial part of your match. I teach my players the 5-10-5 rule: 5 seconds to reflect on the last point, 10 to relax and visualize, and 5 to plan the next point. This mental routine is key to winning.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/d3c308cd-e86d-4109-b2ba-440f58ded9e4)
- [Video: Why are there so few international players from India? Because everyone is focused on the national circuit. You talk about Grand Slams but train for AITA. Your actions and goals don't align. Stop making excuses and start finding solutions.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/9734802c-69a1-49ee-a359-76909a6346d5)
- [Video: Most players fail to reach the highest level because they neglect recovery. Training hard is useless without proper physiotherapy, massage, ice baths, sleep, and nutrition. Recovery is just as important as the hours you put in on the court.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/ec7afd54-3e63-4da6-a004-bb18618a6f81)
- [Video: When choosing an academy, don't just look at hours of play or who else trains there. Focus on the quality and structure of the coaching. A better player won't want to practice with you if your level is low. Focus on your own improvement.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/2393746b-80a8-45d8-bc0f-71f08cf4eaf5)
- [Video: A tip for parents: never taunt your child, even as a joke. Words hurt and can damage their self-esteem. Let the coach be the strict one. You need to remain their soft corner, their safe space, to maintain a strong, trusting relationship for life.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/61663991-a138-4fa8-813e-55f85c471855)
- [Video: Indian players start tennis late and then rush into tournaments, wasting valuable training time. You need to develop a weapon and become a real athlete first. Sit with your coach and parents to create a structured calendar and training plan.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/cef51101-3a67-4d79-b600-299a91eaec59)
- [Video: The guru-shishya tradition doesn't produce Olympic medals; professionalism does. The coach-player relationship must be professional. Stop hiding behind culture and start demanding a structured, accountable, and professional training environment.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/7d5fd894-7845-491b-a3fe-f51ca2e75002)
- [Video: Indians love to save money, but you need to know where to save and where to invest. Don't pay for a tournament if you're not ready to win it. Invest in your body, nutrition, and a quality coach first. These are the things that will actually give you a return.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/b0d30feb-7b97-47cd-82f9-757eeea2bfa1)
- [Video: Athletes and parents complain about a lack of support, but are you good enough to be in the top 30 if the government launched a scheme tomorrow? Raise your game first, then raise your voice. Stop complaining and start working.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/8db6f0b7-c788-4dfc-b05b-51d8f8f55063)
- [Video: Tennis is about hiding your patterns, not just applying them. I teach my players the 70-30 rule. Even if your opponent's backhand is weak, you only hit there 7 out of 10 times. This creates doubt and keeps them guessing.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/db4bae9f-aad3-4367-9593-5de15151ef0f)
- [Video: As Roger Federer said, tennis is a physical chess match. It's not just about hitting forehands and backhands. You need to develop tactical patterns and strategies to win. Most players only hit, which is why they feel pressure in matches.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/9edaa794-55fb-48ac-9feb-1ed5bd691ff5)
- [Video: Mental training is not some abstract concept; it's built into every drill. By adding small targets or verbal cues like saying 'yes' before a shot, I force your brain to engage. This is how you build the mind-muscle connection needed to perform under pressure.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/a5ff3634-85b0-4d20-a9bc-bfdfbe2bb966)
- [Video: Have you ever considered that your thoughts and beliefs might be wrong for your goals? A growth mindset is a flexible mindset. You must be willing to question what you've always done, because if it's not working, you need to try something new.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/91167625-895f-4121-9d4c-ba55ec25eaca)
- [Video: Players often complain about not having good practice partners. My answer is simple: until you can win a "Platinum Set" where you hit every serve for an ace and every return for a winner, you don't need a new partner. Focus on your own level.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/9f230471-3d86-4a21-b938-5275dd017d43)

- [Video: Jannik Sinner's 2024 season was a masterclass in aggressive, spin-heavy tennis. His forehand and backhand RPMs were way above the tour average.

## Meet your expert

[Arnav Alok Goel](https://mytribe.in/arnaaav_)

### My story

Funny, I used to be that Muzaffarnagar kid who’d run from guests, but tennis? Bas, woh alag tha (that was different). Dreamed of Grand Slam glory, didn’t happen as a player, but coaching lit that fire again. From ATP rank to ATP coach to speaking in front of 68 coaches (shaky legs, but did it). Nadal’s coach once called me slow—imagine! Years later, my academy joined hands with Rafa Nadal Academy. My dad said, ‘beta na toh hai he’ (son, no is already an answer). I just keep trying.

### My work

- **All-round Tennis Coaching & Consultancy**: I coach all ages, from 3-year-olds to pros, and help with tennis scholarships abroad, university admissions, and player journeys.
- **Player Development, Not Just Results**: We build your game—technical, tactical, physical, mental. No shortcuts. Become match-ready, not just a tournament number.
- **Why Us? ATP Certified, Indian Tennis Roots**: Been a player, now ATP certified coach and speaker. Bringing international experience to Indian tennis. Want to spark a tennis revolution here.
- **Who Fits In?**: Looking for players and parents with patience and shiddat (passion). Not for those chasing quick wins. If you’re in for the long haul, welcome.
- **Our Vibe**: Hard Work, Real Community: We grind, but have fun—agility training, reaction games, Grand Slam watch parties. It’s a tennis family, always moving upwards.
