This Sportplan Session is all about teaching your players to take the ball early when in a high pressure situation - using a ticking clock scenario to see which pair performs best under pressure!
This session also works on concentration in the point and encouraging a high-intensity of movement - so that players try to get to every ball on the rise, because as demonstrated by the 42 stroke long rally between Hewitt and Federer at the 2010 US Open, there's no such thing as a lost cause!
So how do you get your players to work hard in every point?
Well, in this session we start by pairing your players up and seeing which pairing performs best in a fast rally competition (the point of this is for your players to get to the ball quickly so that in a match they can take time away from their opponent) - but it's a balancing act - do you go all out or do you play it safe and avoid losing time due to an error being made?
Wimbledon has just crowned another champion, and if you watched closely you saw the same thing every year: the best returners quietly won the tournament. Here is how to coach a return that pressures the server rather than just surviving it.
Wimbledon arrives at the end of June and the grass court swing transforms how the game is played. Low bounces, slippery footing, and rewards for forward play demand a different tactical mindset. Here is how to coach it.
With Roland Garros centre stage in May, clay court tennis demands a different toolkit: controlled sliding, longer rallies, and patient point construction. Here is how to coach the surface that humbles power players and rewards craft.
