This session takes you through another element to the modern game - developing your forehand to adapt to the new way of playing. If you watch any of the big names in Tennis, such as Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, both use different types of forehand and have adapted their game to become fearsome to play against. Take a look at this session to see your players play aggressive and attacking!
What’s in the Session?
Start off with a simple speed and agility drill, to get your players used to move around to reach the inside in or out forehand, developing their speed on court. Continue through a series of drills which will get your players hitting the forehand on the rise, on the volley and cross-court. Also look at the way that stars Nadal and Federer execute their forehands, inspiring your players to play like grand-slam champions!
A tiebreak is a short sprint where every point is worth the same as a break of serve. The players who win them are rarely the ones who hit hardest. Here is how to coach the patterns, habits and scoreboard thinking that win the big points.
Most club players practise the serve on its own and then have no idea what to do with the ball that comes back. Serve plus one is the pattern that turns a good serve into a won point.
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.
