WHAT’S YOUR
TENNIS SIGNATURE™
TPS connects players to the foundations of tennis. Your Signature is what sets you apart with the unique movement patterns produced from an instinctive base. TPS is your journey through tennis, the correct foundations allow for better mastery of the fundamentals and biomechanics of tennis. The completion of the journey is the influence your Signature has on tactics and strategy. This direct connection sets players up mentally for a deeper understanding on how they should play the game and ultimately the best weapons to winning tennis matches.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
TPS assesses natural movement patterns that best connect to one of the 8 (16 to include all left handed players) Core Player Archetypes. These patterns are the natural strengths and talents of an individual from an instinctive basis. We connect that with the most appropriate Player Archetype.
Each of the 8 Core Player Archetypes have different technical foundations. This connects a player to mastering the fundamentals and gaining real long term development.
To determine the Technical Foundations we assess balance and coordination potential. Using all parts of the body to discover which side and direction each individual preferences. The key is understanding how the body sends stronger neuromuscular signals to one side of the body compared to the other.
This impacts the way a tennis player swings a racket, moves their feet and ultimately contacts the ball. There is a reason some players choose to hit their forehand with a straight arm and others don’t. The Players Signature allows players to connect to the right technique for them. The potential to continually improve becomes unlimited.

“The Ben O’Brien Method has exceeded my expectations in teaching me the true natural way each individual should play tennis. Throughout my tennis journey, I was often confused by coaches offering different opinions on technique and tactics. The Ben O’Brien Method answered many questions and concerns I had accumulated over the years and has now become a fundamental part of both my coaching and my own game.
One of the most valuable lessons I learned is that coaching must be highly individualized. Every player moves differently, processes information differently, and has their own natural movement patterns. The Ben O’Brien Method provides a clear system for identifying these differences and determining the most effective technique and tactics for each player.
As a tennis coach in San Diego, California, I have seen excellent results by implementing the Ben O’Brien Method with my students. It has given me a deeper understanding of player development and has helped me coach with greater clarity and confidence. I also apply these principles to my own game every day. For anyone looking to better understand how players naturally move and perform, I highly recommend the Ben O’Brien Method.”
