This week we will continue to build off of last weeks goal and purpose and continue to work on keeping the ball in play. Building such a foundation takes a solid amount of mental effort and habit building, so another week of this is just what the doctor ordered. We will continue to focus on the type of ball that we are choosing to play as the instigator as well as the type of ball we are countering with. The key to building a point is patience and understanding of the court. In order to develop an opportunity we have to have the patience to keep the rally going and not pull the trigger to soon. To work the cross and try and open up the court for the chance to hit the down the line shot. Or hit heavy enough to force a short ball that we can approach the net on. Both of these goal involve working the cross court and to do this it takes excellent footwork, balance and positioning behind the ball. These bring me to the next topic. The gym!
Let's make sure that in this "offseason" time frame we continue working hard on our stamina and speed. Our shot is only as good as our position.
On a side note: to all players please check out the academy newsletter.
