Weekend Coaching
I coached in three junior group sessions over the weekend, each 1.5 hours. One issue that came up a few times was balance. Many really don’t understand how important it is – but many top players and coaches consider it one of the most important things. If you are even slightly off balance, then before you can move the other way, you have to recover your balance, which is time you don’t have in many rallies. It’s especially important after you move to the wide corners, which is also when most players do go off balance – which is why they don’t recover in time, and then call out, “I’m too slow!” No – they weren’t too slow, they were off-balance. Here are eight Tips of the Week I’ve written over the years on balance and recovery.
