		<title>Tennis Footwork, Split Step Lesson 3 of 3: Pivot and Fake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My first two videos in this three part series focused on the technique and the timing of a split step. Today we&#8217;re going to take a look at how the pros use the split step during competitive points to move around the court as efficiently as possible. I&#8217;ll also be showing you two different examples [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tennis Footwork, Split Step Lesson 2 of 3: Timing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my first video in this series about the split step (click here to view) I spoke in detail about how the split step really is a make-or-break element of your tennis footwork. High level players use it and low level players don&#8217;t, period. I also used David Ferrer as a model to teach the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tennis Footwork, Split Step Lesson 1 of 3: Technique</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The split step is so incredibly important to your success on the tennis court and yet SO many recreational players completely skip it. If you&#8217;re one of those players (be honest!), or if you currently only use a split step once in a while then you&#8217;re going to want to pay very close attention to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Roger Federer Forehand, Backhand and Serve in HD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today we&#8217;re going to do a Roger Federer tripple play! I just got done posting a bunch of new pro video to the Essential Tennis YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/essentialtennis) and wanted to share a few strokes from Roger along with my thoughts. Make sure to check out all three! Federer Video #1: Forehand and Backhand Rally [...]]]></description>

		<title>Andy Murray Forehand/Backhand and David Ferrer Volleys</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Volley technique is one of the things that I&#8217;m pickiest about when it comes to tennis instruction. It&#8217;s for that reason today&#8217;s video is one of my favorites that I brought back from Cincinnati, Ohio. It features David Ferrer deflecting volleys back to Andy Murray who&#8217;s hitting forehands and backhands on the other side. Two [...]]]></description>

		<title>Andy Murray vs David Ferrer &#8211; Court Level in HD!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a really special series of 5 videos for two main reasons: 1. It&#8217;s almost impossible to find high quality video of top level pro players competing from this vantage point, you&#8217;re really not going to find this anywhere else. The points that you watch on TV are always shot from a much higher [...]]]></description>

		<title>Novak Djokovic Serve in HD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Up until pretty recently I was NOT a fan of Novak Djokovic&#8217;s serve. His trophy pose and racket drop was kind of herky-jerky (yes, that&#8217;s the technical term for it) and things just didn&#8217;t seem very efficient in general. Like a lot of other elements of his game I think he has really improved his [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rafael Nadal Crushing Forehands in HD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Rafael Nadal is on the exact opposite end of the spectrum as Roger Federer while he practices: full out and 100% all the time. In this video you see him crushing forehand after forehand at pretty high intensity. This is something that I saw him do over and over again while hitting various strokes, sometimes [...]]]></description>

		<title>Roger Federer Forehands and Backhands in HD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It doesn&#8217;t get a whole lot better than watching Roger Federer hit forehands and backhands! He&#8217;s hands down the most loose and relaxed looking player that I filmed at Cincinnati, almost to the point that it was annoying to be honest. Why? Roger doesn&#8217;t seem to like to really go full speed in practice, that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Backboard or Wall Hitting Lesson</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love seeing recreational tennis players taking the initiative to practice on their own by using a backboard or hitting wall but it drives me CRAZY to see them making the same mistakes over and over again. In this video I outline the three big mistakes that rec players make while spending time hitting against [...]]]></description>
