Tennis coaches find it exceedingly useful to track and analyse their player’s competitive matches - valuable information can be gained to improve a player’s performance.

Following a match, the perceptions a player has of how it went will often differ from how the coach saw it. After having played a match the player will ask why and how did I win/lose? Instead of saying “I don’t know” or simply guessing, this fantastic software allows players to answer the questions of how and why they won or lost. By demonstrating to the player the real facts of the match such as would be seen on TV analysis, valuable lessons are learnt. Weaknesses can be acknowledged and ironed out, and strengths can be identified to exploit further.

Coaches have traditionally used pen and paper for this task. But now, inexpensive handheld computers, which are both unobtrusive and easily used in outdoors or indoors, are ideal for this task and ProTracker Tennis is the perfect software to use. (It runs on Microsoft based Pocket PCs, such at the HP iPAQ and Dell AXIM)

Parents of aspiring juniors can record their children’s matches and forward a ‘match file’ or report to the coach, for him or her to review on a PC and compare with other matches. Something useful to do and a way of relieving stress!

Umpires can use ProTracker Tennis for scoring. A single ‘Tap’ with the stylus is needed for each point.
