Game
Technique, tactics, decisions. Build a solid game and give every choice a purpose.
Tennis starts with you
The player doesn’t adapt to the method.
The method adapts to the player.
I support your tennis and mental preparation, starting with the way you think, feel and play.

Tennis & mental performanceA person-centred approachInspired by the Enneagram
01 — The philosophy
Two players. The same problem.
Two different solutions.
Technique is only part of the story. Understanding the person means finding the words, reference points and routines that work for them.
Mind
Confidence, pressure, emotions. Learn to stay present when the match intensifies.
Personality
Understand why you react the way you do. Make your individuality a strength.
For tennis organisations
Supporting players across your organisation.
Do you represent a club, academy or tennis organisation? I take time to understand your audience, your team’s needs and your project goals. Support can focus on a group of players, mental preparation or communication between players, parents and coaches.

03 — Joseph Koffi
Understand the player before trying to correct them.
I am Joseph Koffi, tennis coach, mental performance coach and author of “Les 9 Visages du Champion”. I help players, parents, coaches and tennis organisations better understand the person behind the game.
Originally from Togo, with a French state tennis coaching qualification since 2005 and a son who plays Davis Cup, I see tennis through the eyes of a player, a coach and a parent.
