... the good news is we can help...
 




 
  

       

 

 Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and  Autism Spectrum Disorder  (ASD) are two of 

 the most common mental disorders that develop in 5 million children in United State (a sad movie 

 clip on parents sold house to find a cure for their autistic triplet boys, from ABC News)

 

 We believe playing tennis can positively help them!   Why?   Tennis is a combination of 

 1. physical (n), 2. mental (m)  and 3. skill (C).  We teach your kids playing tennis using

 Einstein way, a winning formula:   

 E=mC n-3   

  m: mental toughness ( 0<m<1) (m=attention+emotion+ control+attitude+insight imagery +strategy)

  n:  physical, 3<n<4 from 3D (x,y,z) to 4D (x,y,z,t) (n=endurance+agileness+eye-hand coordination+balance)

  C: tennis skill (biomechanically sound stroke forms, which is a very very large number)

 

                                                 

 Tennis players scored higher in vigor, optimism and self-esteem while scoring lower in  

 depression, anger, confusion, anxiety and tension than other athletes and non-athletes according

 to Dr. Joan Finn and colleagues at Southern Connecticut State University.  

 

There are other determining factors in tennis play: passion, fun, and socialI also coach in Chaplin way!

 

   

  My coaching focus on tennis "core" rather than "style"

 

 attention disorder we can help by
hard to concentrate teaching tennis "core", not "style"
 easily boredusing tennis pro video instruction 
 act before thinkteaching effective sequence
  easily frustratedusing comfortable drills 

A new tennis instruction DVD will be published in this summer: "when Einstein plays tennis with Chaplin"

 

As an ADHD girl, 9 years old Lauryn chose tennis as a positive, successful way to channel her hyperactivity instead of a reliance on Ritalin or stimulant medications.

While many ADHD afflicted people have to incorporate medications to reduce hyperactivity, impulsiveness, and short-term memory disorders, Lauryn found a successful non-medicinal way to channel her energies
