Anne Hobbs brings her experience as a world-class professional player to teaching all aspects of tennis, weaving together the Technical, Physical, and Psychological aspects of the game.  She helps students set individual goals then collaborates to achieve them. In particular, Anne strives to convey the value and tenants of HIGH PERCENTAGE TENNIS and a method of determining if errors are technical or mental —the end result is that players are empowered to perform better on the court, playing a more sound, efficient game, and making moment-to-moment adjustments based on her teachings.  All lessons are taught personally by Anne.

Consultations in the area of Sports Psychology

Anne provides consultations on the psychological issues affecting your tennis game, and how to manage them. Tennis is an emotionally laden game at all levels. Everyone can benefit from becoming aware of their thoughts and feelings during competition and practice. Anne has her degree in Psychological studies and has been training at the Mid-Manhattan Institute for Psychoanalysis to enhance her already considerable skills in this area. She uses this training to help her students resolve the inevitable blocks and resistances that crop up in tennis and all sports, and can make all the difference between a good enough player and one who realizes all his/her talents and abilities to the fullest.
