The Science of a Champion: Meet Our Head of Strength & Conditioning, Dr. Sukhjivan Singh!
In today’s competitive tennis world, success on the court is about more than just a powerful forehand or a precise serve. It’s about being a complete athlete—strong, fast, agile, and resilient.
At Meehan Tennis Academy, we believe in a holistic approach to player development, and that’s why we are incredibly proud to have Dr. Sukhjivan Singh (or Vik, as we know him) as our Head of Strength & Conditioning and Performance Coach.
A Foundation Built on Expertise and Education
Vik’s journey to the court is one built on an impressive academic and professional foundation. Holding a Ph.D in Physical Education and a Master in Physical Education, he brings a deep, scientific understanding of the human body and athletic development to our team.
This academic excellence is perfectly balanced by his practical coaching certifications, including Athletics Australia Qualifications at the Youth, Development, and Performance (Level 3) tiers, which are among the highest in the field.
From Theory to Triumph: The Vik Difference
Vik’s role is crucial to the success of our Performance Program. He is the mastermind behind our tailored Strength & Conditioning (S&C) training, ensuring that all players have access to appropriate physical training as they progress through their competitive journey.
Under his guidance, players perform regular fitness testing to identify areas for improvement and track their progress over time, providing a clear roadmap to becoming a more dynamic athlete.
His background isn’t just in S&C, either. Having served as a Tennis Coach in India from 2015-2022 and completing various ITF courses, Vik has a comprehensive understanding of the game itself. He knows precisely how to translate physical strength and conditioning into powerful, efficient, and injury-free tennis movements.
The Athlete’s Advantage
Vik’s work provides a critical advantage for our players. By focusing on the physical aspects of the game, he helps our athletes build the endurance to outlast opponents, the speed to get to every ball, and the core strength to generate explosive power. This is the professional, well-rounded development that sets our players apart as they aspire to reach the elite level.
Whether your child is taking their first steps in a squad or aiming for the Australian Junior Tour, Vik’s expertise ensures they are not just developing their tennis skills, but becoming a truly complete athlete. He is an essential part of the Meehan Tennis Academy team and a testament to our commitment to a holistic approach to tennis excellence.
