welcome to the lab
Introducing NEW Full-Time Tennis Training & Academic Program 2024-25
What is Performance Lab?
Performance Lab, founded by Coach Richard Bowie, is a platform for junior tennis players who seek elite training to improve their game via detailed technical focus and data analysis.
In September of 2024 Performance Lab is set to grow into a full-time tennis program designed to satisfy the unmet needs of elite player in the New York area.
We are a bespoke environment housed within the Christopher Morley Tennis Center in Roslyn, New York. In partnership with ICL Academy, Performance Lab offers an academic program customized to the demands of the being a competitive junior athlete.
What's the Philosophy?
We believe in situational training.
We believe each player has to optimize their game to match their physical strengths, and competitive style, while working to minimize weaknesses. We are not building players to match a single ideal. We built an environment to allow the growth of individuals.
We believe in technology.
Our partnership with SwingVision means we are constantly recording movement and point play. Being able to objectively discuss tennis with young players, parents, and other coaches is critical. Pros work like this, why shouldn’t junior players when the information is readily available?
We believe culture matters.
We believe in “joyful” rigor and that we all rise together. This means everyone works together, everyone has a job when they are on court. Unfortunately size matters. We are only able to enlist a handful of like-minded players to be able to distribute time and resources evenly to our students.What's the Program?
Technical
Detailed, mechanical training focused on micro aspects of the player’s technique
(non-competition weeks only)
Situational
Point play is the foundation of learning to compete because it accounts for all aspects of a player’s ability.
Strategy
