Power, court coverage and a shoulder that holds
The power in a tennis shot comes from the legs and core, not the arm — targeted rotational strength directly increases shot velocity. Harry builds the kinetic chain that transfers force from the ground through the racquet.
Tennis is a lateral sport and most gym training ignores this — Harry's programme includes lateral plyometrics and change-of-direction work that makes you faster to the ball. Better movement means more balls in play and less energy wasted.
The tennis serve is one of the most shoulder-stressful actions in sport — targeted rotator cuff and scapular work protects the joint deep into every match. Prevention now means you're still playing pain-free in five years.
The work itself
Med ball throws, cable rotations, and compound movements that build the explosive rotation your groundstrokes and serve depend on. Power generated from the legs and core, not the arm.
Lateral plyometrics, change-of-direction drills, and deceleration work that makes you quicker to the ball and more stable when you get there. Tennis-specific movement patterns, not generic agility ladders.
Rotator cuff work, scapular stability, and overhead strength that protects the shoulder through serving, overhead shots, and the repetitive demands of match play. The most important injury prevention work you can do.
Conditioning that mirrors the stop-start demands of tennis — short explosive efforts with brief recovery periods. You'll maintain shot quality and movement speed deep into the third set.
Club players, players over 35, and players managing injuries
You play regularly but want to hit harder and move better. Off-court training is the fastest way to add pace to your shots and speed to your movement without changing your technique.
The body changes as you age — flexibility decreases, recovery slows, and injuries become more common. Targeted training maintains your physical performance and keeps you competitive for years longer.
Tennis elbow, shoulder problems, or knee pain holding you back? Harry's structured strength work addresses the root cause and builds a more resilient body so you can play through a full season.
The season decides
The outdoor tennis season runs April through to September, with many club players continuing indoors through winter. Physical preparation is most effective when started 6 to 8 weeks before your main playing period.
Build rotational power, lateral speed, and shoulder resilience before the outdoor season opens. The biggest window for physical improvement.
Transition to playing. Training volume reduces but intensity stays high. Maintenance work keeps you strong and mobile as match frequency increases.
In-season maintenance. Short, targeted sessions that protect the shoulder, maintain power, and keep you moving well through the busiest part of the year.
Development phase. Whether you play indoors or take a break, this is the window to make real physical gains. Heavier strength work, movement training, and addressing any issues from the summer.
