I recently worked with a student who transformed his forehand in just seven days without taking a single lesson. Now before you think this is some kind of magic trick or clickbait promise, let me be clear about what actually happened. This player followed a very specific five step process
I recently did something I've been wanting to do for years, I put tennis balls to the ultimate test. Here's why this matters: most recreational players are wasting their money on the wrong tennis balls, and they don't even realize it. Walk into any Walmart or sporting goods store and

I recently had a conversation with Joel Chasnoff, my co-author on our book Essential Tennis, that I believe every serious tennis player needs to hear. Joel had just finished a package of five lessons at a club while traveling, and ten minutes into the first lesson, he called me absolutely
I need to tell you about something that happened with two of my students that completely changed how I think about line calls in tennis. Scott, one of my long-time students, was playing a tough match when his opponent hit a big offensive shot down the line. Scott was standing
