SHIVANG MISHRA
THE PERSON
BEHIND THE COACH
A lifetime in Tennis — shaped by Competition,
Experience and a constant pursuit of Excellence in
Player Development.
From Junior Tennis in India to the International and Professional Circuit,
and now to developing Players in Singapore, every stage of my journey
has influenced the way I understand, teach and approach the Game.
THE BEGINNING
IT STARTED AT NINE
I started playing Tennis at nine, with my father, Rajeev Mishra, guiding me as my Coach and my brother Nishank Mishra as my Practice Partner, who also went on to play Professional Tennis.
Those early years built the Discipline, Competitiveness and Love for the Game that would carry me from Junior Tennis in India to the International and Professional Circuit.

THE TRANSITION
FROM PLAYER TO COACH
Competing taught me far more than how to play the Game.
It showed me how Weaknesses are exposed under Pressure, how Physical Preparation shapes Performance, and how differently every Player responds to Competition.
Those lessons still influence the way I Coach today.
My journey also gave me opportunities to share the court — through training or competition — with players who went on to win Grand Slams, reach World No. 1 or compete at the highest level, including Naomi Osaka, Michael Chang, David Ferrer, Sania Mirza, Mahesh Bhupathi, Rohan Bopanna, Jamie Murray and Marcel Granollers.
I have continued developing my knowledge through International Coaching Education and opportunities to learn personally from respected Coaches including Toni Nadal, Wolfgang Thiem and Paul Dale.
Together, those experiences shaped an approach built around the Individual.
THE PHILOSOPHY
WHAT TENNIS TAUGHT ME
DEVELOP THE PLAYER.
NOT JUST THE STROKE.
COMPETITION
Competition taught me that Tennis exposes Everything — Technical Weaknesses, Physical Limitations and Decision-Making under Pressure.
DEVELOPMENT & RESILIENCE
This is why I develop the Player as a Whole. Address Weaknesses early. Build Sound Foundations. Develop Players who can Think, Adapt and Compete. For Young Players especially, Physical Preparation and Physical Resilience lay the Foundation for Mental Strength.
WELLBEING
Player Wellbeing matters — a Happy Player is far more likely to Learn, Compete and Improve.
TODAY
THE COACH
Today, my role is very different from when I first stepped onto a Tennis Court at nine.
But the objective remains remarkably similar:
KEEP LEARNING.
KEEP IMPROVING.
And help every Player discover how good they can become.
