This week's session has been designed to mix things up and get your players bluffing and double bluffing their way to victory.
So how can your players mix things up to win more points, particularly when playing against players who move extremely well or opponents who cannot change direction very well? Answer: By introducing the hitting into the space behind their opponents technique!
This crafty shot is a great way for your players to change their pattern of play, catch their opponent on the wrong-foot and force more errors from their opponent!
To help your players grow in confidence and develop this tactic to their game this session encourages players to not always hit into the obvious space but instead play the ball in the space that's just opened up behind their opponent - forcing them to turn sharply and play their shot on the back foot!
Tennis demands a unique combination of endurance, power, agility, and flexibility. Physical preparation determines how long careers last and how players perform when it matters most.
Ecological dynamics is transforming tennis coaching. This constraints-led approach develops adaptable, creative players who can solve problems in competition, not just execute drilled patterns.
The one-handed backhand is becoming rare, but when executed well, it remains one of tennis's most elegant and effective shots. Is it a dying art or a tactical advantage?
