Why “Crush and Rush”?
The name comes from Phil’s own tennis DNA.
Phil was a classic chip-and-charge player — aggressive, forward-moving, always taking time away. As the modern game evolved, so did the tactic. The contemporary version is crush and rush:
- Crush: Apply immediate pressure with pace and intent.
- Rush: Step inside, take the ball early, dictate with positioning.
Phil has spent 25 years coaching this modern pressure-based style, long before it became the blueprint for today’s explosive players.
Crush and Rush is more than a name — it’s the philosophy behind the coverage: fast, aggressive, and always on the front foot.
