Tennis: Resist the Coach

Sportplan has been very helpful in guiding me through my first year...
Bill, Newly qualified coach

DESCRIPTION

  • Player lays down on the ground with straight legs up.
  • Coach stands behind the player and moves legs in different directions.
  • Player’s goal is to not let legs touch the ground and come back to the starting position.

COACHING POINTS

In this drill player works on abdominal muscles. Abs are crucial for effective match play in tennis so athletes have to perform regular exercises focused on strengthening this area. This drill is quite difficult and demanding so only good athletes should perform it to make sure that no harm can be done to players. If player is at lower level of physical preparation he can perform just regular up and down movement without coach’s involvement.
