I spent much of my training on court on my own ghosting around the court. I work on both my endurance and speed during these sessions

I also have a couple of sessions per week with the english national coaches at Manchester and Potters Bar and technical sessions with other experts such as a sports psychologists to work on the mental side of my game and notational analysts to work on my tactics and gameplans.
