Hitting without good placement is sloppy tennis and will get you in trouble against the better players. If you are a power player who likes to hit the ball hard and does not care where the ball lands, take heed! Slow down, learn proper placement and technique, and let your power follow #tacticalgame #knowhow #tennis #gamesetmatch

If the only reason to compete was to win then you would end up always choosing an opponent who is lesser than you, isn’t it? Thankfully athletes don’t just play to win, they play to be the best version of themselves and that can only happen when you are competing against those who are better than you! And in this process, sometimes you win, and sometimes learn! #highperformance #leadershipcoach #learningcommunity #athletedevelopment #learningforlife #lifelessons

Tennis tip: Changing speeds can create opportunities. - Variation can create many opportunities. You see in this point where the ball is elevated with a cross court slice at a slower speed. This makes the opponent hesitate just enough for the next ball to be hit hard and flat up the line. The change of speed creates the opening because the opponent is only slightly behind the tempo. - It only takes a small change in speed to make a big difference. So use the slice, flat ball and top spin to keep the opponent off balance. - Good luck. #tennis #tips #foryoupage
