You're a club tennis player in the UK who can't see consistent progress.
Training hard but not seeing the outcomes on match day.
Inconsistent performance and inconsistent win rate: Win-Lose-Win-Lose.
Inconsistent match play and no set mental frameworks on the court.
Hadi's problem
At 15, my dedication was never an issue. I spent countless hours on the court working on my strokes and doing drills in order to improve my technique. However I was frustrated that there wasn’t a linear correlation between my work ethic and my match results.
I was often losing matches despite hitting cleaner and more powerful shots than my opponent. I started to enjoy playing matches less and started looking forward to my training instead.
However when I turned 16, I started working with a coach who changed my approach to tennis and taught me the foundations of the winners circle framework. I began to play tennis as a match player as opposed to a ‘hitter’
I began enjoying playing tennis matches. I started winning more, but most importantly started experiencing relaxation on the court as opposed to frustration. The game became a challenge for me that revolved around problem solving and chasing process based goals that were in my control as opposed to just the result .
Now, I've coached at several clubs around London and hammered these frameworks into other players.
I want to help YOU employ these frameworks, so you start winning more matches and enjoy yourself on the court.
Dropped out of school in London at 15 to play in Barcelona full time in the Spanish tennis federation, training at 4slam tennis academy and elite tennis academy in Spain.

Three step execution
1
Set goals on processes instead of outcome
Focus on the short term tasks you have to do that can help you win, as opposed to targeting the win itself.
2
Utilise your toolbox and execute your gameplan
Your shot execution and level of your opponent isn't in your control, so you should switch your attention to shot selection and intention of the point.
3
Seperate your emotion from your result
Start to look from a bird's eye view at your tennis. Start giving value to the manner in which you executed the set processes in a game, as opposed to the outcome.
