It looks like you're on the right path. I would suggest to play lots of points during practice. With the mindset that it appears your kid has I would bet that he/she gets bored with drills, if that is the case, try to involve lots of points in the training where he/she has to win and not just hit the ball with no point. You can use that winning mindset and still develop strokes. Try and get a good match play for every day where both players need to hate to lose. Play as much tournaments as possible. Always go a level up if he/she won certain age group do not play in it again once is enough and play him/her next age up. Performance under pressure is key and that is only learned through battles with people watching. You never know what you've got on your hands.
