When a player has the lead in a game, it's important that they know how to win.
We're often asked at Sportplan how to help players kill off games when they are 40-0 up, as this coach asked here.
That's why this week's session works on ensuring your players are capable of killing games off by winning the important points when they are ahead.
What's in the Session?
Starting with a fun but hard-working warm up, we get players blood pumping quickly before moving onto aggressive attacking drills. The session progresses with tougher drills that require quick movement and reactions, before our final drill works on killing the game when returning from a serve.
Don't miss out, get your players to improve their killer instinct today!
