Coach Ben Loeb
Coach Loeb is not your normal tennis coach. He has gone far beyond what most coaches have done to keep learning and keep striving to get better as a coach and teacher. He has embraced the mantra of being a life-long learner. Coach Loeb continues to work on expanding his Mental Performance Development Plan for psychological improvement. Now he wants to offer his insights to you, the coach or to teams of aspiring student-athletes. He has primarily worked with players on competitive tennis teams, but not exclusively. The mental skills he shares with teams or athletes are transferable beyond just the sport of tennis. Ben’s journey for professional growth includes developing and teaching a course in sport and performance psychology, the writing of four books, and the production of 3 tennis instructional videos on team practices and on enhancing mental performance skills. He has applied his philosophy as a coach at both the college and high school level.
