The training-to-match gap

Your tennis has not disappeared - pressure is changing how you play.

You may strike the ball confidently in practice, only to tighten up, hesitate or lose trust in your game during matches.

That does not always mean you need more technical instruction. You may need stronger mental routines, clearer tactical decisions and ongoing support to understand what changes when the score matters.

Forty-Love helps close the gap between the player you are in training and the player who appears in competition.

The Forty-Love Method

The Forty-Love Match Performance System

We identify what changes between your training and matches, then build a personalised structure around the areas that will make the greatest difference to your competitive performance.

1Understand your match patterns

We identify where confidence, decision-making or emotional control breaks down.

2Build your performance plan

You receive clear priorities across mindset, tactics, preparation, fitness and training.

3Review and improve weekly

We analyse your matches, discuss pressure moments and set your next focus.

4Stay accountable

You receive ongoing feedback and support so better habits become part of how you compete.

Within your first 30 days, you should understand what is holding you back, what to prioritise and how to structure your development more effectively.

Why Forty-Love

More Than Coaching.
A Complete Structure Around Your Tennis.

Forty-Love is led by a former professional player and supported by specialists across mental performance, fitness, competition and player development.

We work alongside your existing on-court coaching rather than replacing it.

Your tennis coach may help develop your strokes. Forty-Love helps you understand how to use your game, prepare properly, manage yourself under pressure and stay accountable to a clear development plan.

This is not a collection of recorded lessons or another course to complete. It is ongoing, personalised mentorship that develops with you.

Ali Collins

Meet Ali Collins

Former WTA doubles World No. 110, Wimbledon competitor and Forty-Love founder.

I competed professionally on the WTA Tour and experienced first-hand how difficult it can be to reproduce your ability when the score, pressure and expectations begin to matter.

The gap between how you play in training and how you compete is rarely about talent. Self-belief is built through preparation and evidence - clear tactical patterns, reliable match-day routines, honest feedback and knowing how to respond when a point or a game goes against you.

I created Forty-Love to give players that wider structure: to help you recover from mistakes rather than fear them, and compete with clarity instead of chasing perfection - supported by the tactics, fitness and preparation that make it hold up under pressure.

“I created Forty-Love to help ambitious players feel guided, prepared and in control when the score matters most.”- Ali Collins

Measurable Development

A Clear 90-Day Progress Plan

At the beginning of your mentorship, we establish your starting point, development priorities and the areas where progress can be measured.

Your plan is then reviewed throughout the first 12 weeks, allowing the team to assess what is improving, what remains inconsistent and what should be prioritised next.

Progress may include clearer tactical decisions, stronger match routines, improved preparation, better accountability and more consistent execution under pressure.

Competitive results cannot be guaranteed, but your development will never be left vague or untracked.

FAQ

Your questions

Can confidence genuinely improve?+
Yes - but not through motivational talk alone. Self-belief is built through preparation, tactical clarity, reliable routines, honest feedback and repeated competitive experience. As your decisions become clearer and your match-day process more reliable, confidence tends to follow.
Is this only for players with match anxiety?+
No. Many players simply want to compete more freely, make clearer decisions and stop losing their level under pressure. Whether you tighten up in tight moments or just want more consistency, the work is the same: better preparation, routines and understanding of your game.
Can this work alongside my existing coach?+
Yes. Forty-Love complements your on-court coaching. We focus on the wider structure around your tennis - match analysis, tactics, mental performance, preparation and accountability - rather than replacing your technical work.
What happens during mindset coaching?+
This is practical performance work, not therapy. You build routines for focus and composure, ways to reset after mistakes, process-based goals and clearer thinking between points - tied directly to how you actually compete.
How does match analysis improve confidence?+
Reviewing your matches shows what is really happening under pressure - where you hesitate, rush or drift from your plan. Seeing it clearly and then working on specific priorities replaces guesswork with evidence, which is where genuine confidence comes from.
Do I need to be highly ranked?+
No. You do not need to be a professional or nationally ranked player. You should already train regularly, play competitive matches and be serious about improving.
How much time will this require?+
You will need time for your mentorship sessions, agreed weekly actions and occasional match-video submission. The exact commitment depends on your goals and current schedule.
Who will mentor me?+
Your support is led by Ali Collins and delivered with input from the wider Forty-Love specialist team, based on your selected mentorship level and needs.
What results are realistic?+
Every player develops at a different rate, and we do not guarantee rankings, wins or specific match results. The aim is clearer routines, stronger decision-making, better composure under pressure and more consistent competitive performances.
How long do players stay?+
Forty-Love is ongoing mentorship rather than a fixed course. The appropriate duration depends on your goals, progress and the level of support you need.
How much does it cost?+
The most suitable level of support will be discussed during your discovery call, based on your goals and current needs.
How do I get started?+
