What can you do to help a player with their serve, when they say they want to get more power on it?
Hi Guys, Just wondering if anyone has a suggestion on how to teach a block return from serve and a slice return from serve to 13y.o juniors who are playing against big servers Cheers
Hi, I'm a teenis player (ITF Futures level) I used to do a lot of ace as 30 or 40 % in my first serve. Then, I had an injury (ankle) and I was awhile without training. I started playing again 3 month ago, and now I don't have any confidence in my serve. For this reason I have to play with second serves almost all matches and practises. I would like to know what can I do. I would appreciate if someone could help me in this case. Thanks.

Coaching tennis to middle school athletes for the first time. How do I begin?
I used to play on clay court for 20 years, now it's been two years that I've been exposed to hard court. About my game%3A I have a very good technique on all my strokes including volley, good kick serve, I am 192 cm. My issue%3A I was not taught to play aggressively, now in my matches I don't take the net; consequently, in spite of executing a high level tennis, I loose to some players that I never should. I've read some tennis mental toughness books, I teach them, but I don't know how can I change my own mental set. When I hit top spin (groundies), I enjoy and feel secure, even though it results in my loss and sorrow. I'm ready for change but how?
How do I coach 14 girls, all of varying levels from beginner to advanced on just two courts?
I have this player who is 27 years of age, very competitive and driving complete player with great technique on his ground stokes. Basically a great all around player from the baseline and net. I want to challenge him with a intense footwork drill that will tire him out, yet get the necessary hitting time. The more intense and sweat the drill produces the better, I'm the kind of coach where footwork is the basic foundation for all tennis players. I'm open to any suggestions, thank you for your time.
I have a left hand player who is very aggressive at the baseline, but he doesn't really want to go to the net. I think if he comes to the net he will improve a lot, so what can I do with players to get them to try new ideas?

Indoor courts give players less time and less room. Help them sharpen their split step, shorten their swing and stay calm, and winter becomes a season of real progress.
