PLAYER DEVELOPMENT IN LISBON
Long-term work.
Individual development.
Bruno Miguel Salgueiro Alves leads the Lisbon player development project at CCTennis Performance. He brings more than two decades of experience in player development, coach education and high-performance tennis.
His approach brings technical, tactical, physical and mental preparation into a single player plan. He adapts training and competition to each player’s stage of development.
Bruno and César Coutinho work together to shape each player’s development plan. César follows each player’s development and attends at least one practice each month to help review their goals, assess progress and agree on the next priorities with Bruno.
