If you’ve ever watched Carlos Alcaraz play, you’ll notice his Alcaraz strategy to win tennis matches makes it feel like he’s doing everything at a different speed. Not just physically… but mentally too. He’s constantly solving problems, adjusting, and finding ways to stay in control of the point—even when he’s
If you have ever watched a professional tennis match from court level, you know exactly what I am talking about. The ball comes off the racket with this aggressive, almost violent dip. It looks like the laws of gravity have been temporarily suspended and then suddenly reinstated. It feels like
I want to share something with you that completely changes how you move on a tennis court. If you have ever watched Roger Federer or Novak Djokovic and wondered why they look so impossibly smooth and effortless, you are about to find out exactly why. And more importantly, how you

I recently worked with a 10-year-old girl on her backhand and what I discovered was something that every single adult competitive tennis player needs to hear. This kid is incredibly coordinated, athletic, and she has a great coach. And yet, she still has technical flaws she's working through. Right off
Step across and punch is one of the most common instructions I hear players repeat back to me when they talk about volley technique. It’s also one of the worst pieces of advice you can receive at the net. I see this all the time during lessons. A player comes
I’ve been playing tennis for over 30 years, and in that time I’ve missed a lot of shots. Easy shots. Hard shots. Shots I probably should have made. But none of them were as painful or as embarrassing as one particular miss that happened during a big team match. This
