Every single day, thousands of tennis lessons happen around the world that don't move the needle at all for the student taking them. Are you one of those students? I'm going to help you figure that out, and more importantly, show you exactly what to look for if you want
I was working with Susan on her overhead recently, and she asked me a question that I hear all the time: "Was that the best batch of overheads I ever hit?" The answer was yes. And the reason why tells you everything you need to know about what's probably wrong
I was working with Janice recently on her volleys, and within the first few minutes of video analysis, I spotted something that I see in probably 80% of recreational players. Her backhand volley was weak. Not terribly broken, but noticeably weaker than her forehand volley. And like most players dealing
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 was working with my student, Barry on his serve, and we discovered something that I see constantly with players at every level. He had a pretty solid trophy position and a decent racket drop, but something wasn't quite right with his pronation through contact. Here's the thing: pronation should
I need to tell you something that's been bothering me for a while now. The REAL reason you're not improving... It's about all those tennis videos you've been watching. Mine included. Here's the uncomfortable truth: they're probably not making your game any better. And I know that sounds crazy coming
I just finished testing three rackets that completely changed my perspective on equipment recommendations. For years, I've been playing with the Diadem Elevate Tour. It fits my game perfectly because I'm a net rusher at heart. Give me volleys and overheads all day long and I'm in heaven. So when
