Player’s Guide to a Better Understanding of the Game

🎾 Welcome to the Player Resources section of Faith Over Fear Tennis Academy. This guide is here to provide education to help you grow in more than just your skills—it’s about becoming a stronger, smarter, and more grounded competitor, both on and off the court. This section also serves to help parents develop a deeper understanding of the game.

At FOFTA, we believe true development comes from training all four essential areas:

🛠️ Technical – Refine your strokes, footwork, and court awareness to build consistency and confidence in every shot.
🏃‍♂️ Physical – Improve your speed, strength, agility, endurance, and balance with proven drills and training routines.
🧠 Strategic – Learn to outthink your opponent—study court patterns, play styles, and the tactical decision-making process.
💪 Mental – Train your mind for competition. Build resilience, focus, confidence, and emotional control.

We’re not just building players—we’re building people. That’s why every part of FOFTA is grounded in these core values:

🎯 Goal Setting – Set clear targets and work relentlessly toward them.
🙏 Faith – Compete with trust in your purpose and training.
🌟 Hope – Stay positive and persistent, no matter the outcome. 
🔥 Strong Work Ethic – Show up. Work hard. Give your best, every day.
🤝 Sportsmanship – Respect your opponent, the game, and yourself. Win with grace, lose with honor, and always compete fiercely and fairly.
