bit.ly Shrinking the court is a strategic adjustment you can make when your tennis game is a little bit off. It allows you to build confidence and raise the level of your play. All tennis players have experienced the following: You aren’t playing well and, as a result, you lose confidence in your shots. That loss of confidence causes you to play even worse, and so on. Shrinking the court is a strategic adjustment that allows you to break this cycle. Pretend the boundaries of the court are moved in slightly and continue to play your normal game. This will cut down your unforced errors without simply “keeping the ball in play,” and will help you regain confidence and, eventually, raise the level of your play.
this happens to me all the time especially with pushers. it frustrates me because im on a huge losing streak because of it.
that’s a good tip!
wow… ive come back 0-5 and won 7-6 in the tiebreak..
can u post a vido on how to play pushers?
thx i was having a problem with that i lost my confidence after i was losing 0-1 x.x
Thanks a lot man! FYB FTW
While i love these videos, with the board and all. I really do wish we could get some of the real time serving with the slow mo type videos.
Thanks! Good strategy.
Hey, thanks for your feedback. I was not expecting that. Your voice is not longer that crispy as it used to be before. I perceive a bit of chuckling at the end of some sentences, which I attributed to the braces, perhaps wrongly. Some new brace users have to kinda ’sip’ a little in between sentences to clear up the space between teeth-gum and cheek. But do not worry, your communication level is still excellent.
@jpkorutube Heh — how has my pronunciation changed?
Simple but nice tip. BTW your pronunciation has changed substantially. I guess that you started using using braces. Keep going. And thanks for posting this.
modest.
i see how this tactic works, but if you were to “shrink” the court, would that just make it easier for the opponent to attack the ball more since it’s closer to the service line?
this might help. But i hardly ever play bad games. Could you please check out my latest video – 11 Year old tennis player part 2? thanks
AAH THANKS!
It all comes down to talent. An exceptional and great coach could be with the 1000th ranked player. It’s not so much the coaching as it is just having the ability. Coaches don’t offer that much advice when these players have been playing their entire career. It’s an individual game and each player (talented or not) should know their strengths and weaknesses.
Haha I appreciate it but Frank is a much better coach than I am. He’s developed three kids who are currently in the top 21 in the world in juniors… that’s pretty incredible!
Thanks! Hope it helps.
@n64player9 Federer was helped by a number of great coaches as he developed as a player. He may not need one now but he’s also an exception.
Talented athletes don’t magically become great players — their skills are developed and honed by good coaches.
i always knew that you had to get the ball in when you aren’t feelin it but i never could come up with a way to actually put it into practice… this should do the trick thank you
btw. this is great. thank u. i ve always found it a problem to win games wen i m not at my best. this should help. thanks!
i disagree. the coach is only as good as the player. and the player is only as good as the coach
will you should’ve been the coach of the yr =)
There is no “best” coach – there is just an abundance of talent in the player. I could coach Federer and I’d be considered a God.
I’ m going to try this strategy and let you know…could help my tennis because i am off!
