In this interview made during Wimbledon 2026, Benoit Foucher is interviewed by Prashant Patel to discuss about how to coach tennis ATP pros and amateurs with the same principle: we are all different, therefore there is no one way of playing tennis.
In particular, Benoit dives into the use of the ActionTypes approach, the Rolls-Royce of Motor Signatures, and the solutions it gives to coaching at all levels.
The goal of this video is for you to start figuring out how different you are and how you can hit the ball more effortlessly, more naturally.
