Today on the Tennis fitness podcast we welcome Brian Parkkonen. Brian and I dive into the art of coaching. We discussed the finer points of what makes up a great coach and the importance of building a strong and healthy relationship with one’s players, in order to help them achieve their fullest potential. Brian, who joined the PTR staff in May 2014, has had a series of promotions during his tenure. Prior to his new post as COO, Parkkonen served as Director of Education, where he was responsible for the direction and content of the organization’s four education pathways to certification, as well as Level 3 Specialist and Master of Tennis programs. In addition, he developed new courses and opportunities, including PTR’s Education Dashboard that provides hundreds of hours of free online video presentations, and was a key player in the evolution of the PTR Coach App. Brian started at PTR as Director of Development where he oversaw the delivery of PTR education and managed scores of clinicians across the United States. Before leading the clinicians, he was one himself. Brian’s evolution in the organization began long before he joined the staff. Coincidentally, he started his career as Head Pro and Director of College Placement at the Van der Meer World Class Academy (Dennis Van der Meer founded PTR), before going on to serve as director of some of the largest public and private clubs in the country.

On today's episode we welcome all the way from Italy Donato Campagnoli. He has been a consultant for the Italian tennis Federation since 2002 overseeing player development and coach education. Since 2014 Donato has been the leader of workshops for the Italian Federation in the area of technique and biomechanics. Today we’re going to examine how to move better on the court and how the Italian federation is becoming such a leader in tennis.

Brian earned his Doctorate in Sport and Performance Psychology from the University of Western States, his Master’s in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis on Positive Coaching from the University of Missouri, and he has been certified in Mental Toughness Training by the Human Performance Institute. He is also the author of The Mentally Tough Competitor – Mindsets and Perspectives to Achieve Excellence. PerformanceXtra™ was founded in 2009 by Brian Lomax. Brian’s vision is to help clients realize their performance potential by focusing on the mental game and providing a framework for success. Everyone has the possibility of being a great competitor and with PerformanceXtra™, you can begin to explore those possibilities. PerformanceXtra™ was born out of the need for solid coaching in the area of mental performance. So much of what is taught today focuses on the technical aspects of the game, and while that is important, the mental game is what determines winning and losing. We are here to help players realize their peak performance by tapping into the power of their own minds and giving them a framework for success. The PerformanceXtra™ mission is to help athletes achieve their goals and their top performances more consistently through a progression of mental skills that enables them to focus on what is truly important. The PerformanceXtra Program goes beyond just physical practice and it incorporates aspects of sport psychology, positive psychology, character building, leadership skills, and philosophy. One of the unique characteristics of the PerformanceXtra Program is to help athletes develop a personal philosophy that will give them new ways of thinking in challenging situations.
