Sportplan has been very helpful in guiding me through my first year as a High School Coach.
I received your email on 'The Art of Feeding' and like to read your suggestions of drills. When looking at your suggested drills on this newsletter, I would like to ask for a bit of clarification on the coaching point 'as players move sideways they must take last step towards ball at contact'. I thought that the player must have stopped before making contact with the ball. Do you mean that the player's balance takes him into another step at contact? I'm really interested in your drills and plan to make a purchase in the near future. Best wishes, Nick-submitted by email

There are 50 students, and I need to select 32 of them. How will you plan your try-out? Test for accuracy? Fitness?
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 can I run drills inside before the weather is okay to go out?
How do I coach 14 girls, all of varying levels from beginner to advanced on just two courts?
We have some players on a girls high school team who hit well, have good form and serve well but do run into confusion sometimes with remembering scores, hearing instruction when playing matches and processing speed can be a challenge as well because these players have language-based learning disabilities. They are strong players but I need some advice about best practices for lessons/coaching that will bring them the most success on the court. Are there specific drills/coaching techniques that are helpful? Also, I'm going to purchase some wrist score keeper bracelets unless someone knows of a better way for them to keep track of the score discreetly and quickly. (wrist or racket)
I cannot pull up video's without the Adobe Flash player crashing ... got any solutions?
HI there,I am an assistant coach for a small tennis academy. It has been 2.5 years since Iâve started. I do not have any certification of being a coach but I was a state player(representing my state) back when I was a player in high school. The only knowledge/experience I have as a tennis player was from when I had training back then and even so it was limited. A big issue/challenge I am facing right now is error detection and correction. I realized I am unable to identify the problems of my players which is beyond the obvious and I tend to correct the effect of the problem instead of the root cause of it. i believe what I donât have is a coach eye, I was wondering if you have some kind of materials or course or even guidance on that matter. I am really keen on improve that part of me. I feel like that part is holding me back as I can give an accurate correction to my players which then hinders my playerâs improvement. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you

I have been using Sportplan now for 3 years and can honestly say that I have never repeated the same session twice. My girls are always focused and are improving every year. Thanks Sportplan.
What a fantastic tool. The Chalkboard and session tools make an unbelievable difference in making training plans in both time and organization. I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
I can't get enough of the Sportplan, It has given me back the enthusiasm i was starting to lose. My girls are so keen and are ready at 14 to take the next up in their game. Sportplan will help no end.
