Kick serves ๐พ๐ฅ๐พ
Can your body take the load thatโs required to execute it properly??
๐ in the trophy position, we need to be strong and balanced
๐ช chest must be going up towards the ball to create the spin
๐ bending backward is important, as long as you can bring it back forward again and not โfall overโ
Physically โnormalโ people cannot do what the pros can. So trying to imitate them isnโt in your best interest. See where you are at, and whatโs the next step you can take to improve your serve. ๐พ๐
Do you know what the lines of the court are called?? ๐พ๐๐

All you need is a racquet, ball and of course willpower to get better.
There are tones of great exercises you can do to improve your control of the ball and racquet...
Make things easy for yourself and maximize your improvement by using ORANGE or GREEN balls rather than the โregularโ tennis balls that come in a can.
Probably one of the biggest mistakes new players make is using brand new, super bouncy tennis balls ๐พ๐พ๐พ๐พ๐พ
Got a question?? You know what to do ๐ช๐จ๐พ๐

Whatโs your main challenge when serving? ๐พ๐๐
Running straight with good form is very important to avoid injuries and maximize performanceโฆ

Take action if you want change. Make things happen. Nothing comes to a sleeper but a dream.

A few months ago, Gaby @gabydabrowski was very kind to share some of her experience with me ( while quarantining @australianopen ).
Two parts of the interview are posted on doublestennis.com YouTube channel ๐ฌโค๏ธ๐พ - direct link in story.
Hope you enjoy listening to it๐๐โค๏ธ
Step by step ๐๐พ๐ช๐ฅ
Understanding the process and the time commitment required to make changes (to your game or anything in life) is crucial for motivation ๐ฅ๐
History in the makingโฆ changes always create โproblemsโ. And @naomiosaka is standing up for what she believes in whether anyone likes it or not.
Unfortunate that 99% of the WTA tour players @wta would not have that financial ability to take a $15,000 fine for not speaking to the press. Itโll be interesting to see how the WTA adapts to this going forwardโฆ

It is easier than you think to generate more power on your serve!

What do you guys think?
@naomiosaka
Sometimes students will tape you ๐พ๐๐
Ahem, so as I was saying, when receiving a cross court ball, by the time the ball bounced, you want to be lined up with its flight path / direction.
Your eyes can track the ball better , making it much easier to time the ball to contact.
Kapishhhh?? ๐
One of the best drills you can do to be a better net player. ๐พ๐ช๐
The less fear you have of the lob, the more aggressive you will be at the net and be able to intimidate your opponents better ๐ฅ๐๐

Timing the swing and impact of the ball becomes more difficult when the swing size increases and we often donโt get the desired effect of more power!

1. Take it easy ๐ฆ
2. Start at service line (half way from the net to the back line) ๐
3. Use orange or green balls (DO NOT crack a brand new can of regular balls open) ๐
4. Contact the ball at waist height ๐
5. Make it arc over the net ๐

@tennis4fan
Get creative. Work on your game. Get out into the park, and step into the amazing tennis reality for an hour out of your day ๐ช๐ฅ๐พ๐
Lucky to have a mini tennis net that can be set up anywhere when thereโs a tennis-urgency ๐จ๐ฌ๐จ
ITโS CALLED THE DEUCE SIDEโผ๏ธ (not the โforehand sideโ๐คช)
Do you prefer to play DEUCE or AD side of the court??

Get activated and become a stronger NET playerโผ๏ธ๐พ๐ช๐
Best part? It is ๐ฏ in your control if and when you get moving.
Step into Friday with confidence like @pavicmate does in this incredible backhand return ๐ฅ๐พ๐
Notice the activation / split step that begins it all... ๐

๐ฅTHE SHOT CYCLE๐ฅ
What is it? The time between two of your impact points. ๐ฅ๐พ๐
Which part of it do you need to improve?
Players so OFTEN focus all their attention to the striking of the ball itself, and forget that itโs a cycle and the rhythm and timing of the shot depends on all of its parts. ๐๐พ๐
Happy Mondayโผ๏ธ
When you eat cake ๐ฐ ๐ ๐ ๐ซ all weekend, itโs time to reset the plate with some nice quinoa, veggies and eggs to be able to perform physically and mentally ๐พ๐ฅด๐
Preparation is key, otherwise itโs easy to grab the first thing in your way and thatโs usually not the most nutritious option ๐
Whatโs your go to meal when you need a healthy boost?! ๐พ๐
