Coach’s Corner
The modern game is higher performance and healthier than tennis in the last millennium.
The technique has been changed…
It’s all about rotation:
-
Rotate your shoulders
-
Rotate your arm
-
Rotate your racquet
-
Rotate the ball
We’ve been writing you about Focus. Otherwise: Watch. Move. Bend. Breathe. Relax.
