Science of The EASI Academy Program

The EASI program is based completely on science. Because of the dynamic range of tennis and its complexity, there are many scientific facets that have been considered. Many areas of science such as physics, nutrition, kinesiology, exercise physiology, and psychology, have been developed and are in use in many internationally recognized programs. However, few if any other programs integrate all of these aspects of science into a single program as is done at EASI. In addition to these areas of science, EASI also has incorporated neuroscience, or the science of the brain. The significance of this is that neuroscience is the foundation on which all forms of training and education must rest.

Because of its complexity, neuroscience is not accessible to other programs as it is at the EASI Academy. Central to this area of science is the work of Freeman on mesoscopic brain dynamics.

In addition to the work of Freeman in neuroscience, the seminal work of Langer on the theory of the human learning process is a cornerstone of our training methods.

The significance of the use of modern science, and in particular the research of these two distinguished professors, in the EASI Program is that our students learn at a pace many times faster than any other program in existence, anywhere. In addition to learning technique and other skills faster, they become more creative, adaptable, self directing, and demonstrate greater initiative than students from other programs. The result is that our students can make better decisions, more quickly, and apply their skills under the pressures of match play far better than the competition.
