How to optimize your performances

Neurotraining is the culmination of the remarkable discoveries of neuroscience, which highlight the intimate links between the brain and action. It reveals the invisible mechanisms that, in sport, underlie performance. Applied to tennis, neurotraining has two objectives: to reveal the potential that each player carries within them and to optimize their performances. The book is an invitation to understand and experiment with the mechanisms of a new approach to training.

Which tennis player has never dreamed of improving their performance? Beyond mere enjoyment, who has not wished to be able to exploit their full potential to reach a higher level, or even a better ranking?

Neurotraining is the result of the remarkable discoveries of neuroscience, which demonstrate the close links between the brain and action. It reveals the invisible mechanisms that underpin performance in sport. Applied to tennis, neurotraining rests on two inseparable pillars: understanding how the brain functions and its practical application on the court.

Tennis & neurotraining invites the reader to understand these mechanisms and to experiment with them, with a dual aim: to reveal the potential that each player carries within them and to optimize their performances.

All areas of tennis directly concerned are addressed – mental preparation, warm-up, vision, sensory activation, breathing, etc. – and illustrated with tests and practical exercises allowing the strengthening of capacities essential for better performance: coordination, explosiveness, endurance…

The numerous illustrations and the videos accessible via QR codes provide an essential complement to a good understanding of neurotraining in tennis. Finally, detailed sheets describe practical exercises that are discoveries of the possibilities of neurotraining.

Players, coaches or students in sports science will find in this comprehensive work the foundations of neurotraining – or how the brain pilots performance.

Jérôme Gori

Jérôme Gori is an agrégé professor of Physical Education and Sports at the University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and the point of contact for high-level athletes at that university. He holds state diplomas in tennis and physical preparation and has supported athletes toward excellence for over 20 years, including several players competing on the world circuit, with the best result being a round of 16 in women's doubles at the 2024 Australian Open achieved by a player he coaches. His expertise is supported by numerous diplomas and certifications in physical preparation, mental preparation and neurotraining. Confronted with the limits of traditional approaches, he has explored for several years the interactions between the brain and movement, making neurotraining an essential lever to push the boundaries of sports performance. Jérôme Gori has also coached tennis players for over 20 years in various clubs, and since 2016 at the Cercle Athlétique de Montrouge (92120), where he is responsible for the physical preparation of the club's elite players, accompanying athletes on the world circuit (ATP and WTA).
