In this course you will learn:
First we will go over the 3 most important criteria that you need to constantly look up to in order to make fast progress in your development as a player. These 3 criteria will be the light bulb that will help you make quality decisions in your development as a player.
We will then do a warm up where we will assess your natural athletic skills, your sense for the ball, your natural racquet usage and your natural footwork activity.
Right after we will jump right into the development of your technical framework as a player starting with the forehand. We will you give you an outline of the four pillars that make up the framework of every shot which are transferable from the forehand into the backhand and later applies to the serve.
We will make sure you understand these pillars at a deep level as we go through them one by one and the whys behind them since you will be using the same principles/pillars to build all your shots. These 4 main pillars are:
1) How to find your own grip
2) How to use your arm for racquet acceleration
3a) How to use your body for power generation
3b) What not do with your body in order to get the most out of it
4) Timing (when and where to hit the ball)
