Professional competencies, Coaching, TennisAbstract
In issue 70, we published an article showing the most valued professional knowledge by Brazilian tennis coaches. Based on those findings, now we present the main competencies required for the professional intervention in tennis coaching. We expect this information can contribute to the improvement of coach education programs, focused on competency-based approaches.
