LEONARD BURNS
LTA Performance Level 3 Coach | RPT Pro | BTCA Coach
Ecological Approach Specialist
COACHING PHILOSOPHY
I coach using a modern, evidence‑informed ecological approach, helping players learn how to play the game, not just repeat techniques.
Rather than relying on repetitive drills, sessions are built around game‑based, realistic situations that develop:
Decision‑making
Adaptability under pressure
Confidence and creativity
Skills that transfer directly into match play
We don’t chase “perfect” technique — we create learning environments that allow players to discover effective movement and tactical solutions on their own.
