I was working with a young coach on her teaching skills when a student walked up and said something I've heard a thousand times before. She's been playing and taking lessons for years, and she just can't hit with topspin. No matter what she tries, her forehand comes out flat.
If you want to talk about inside out forehand tennis, there is no more powerful or satisfying weapon you can add to your game — and once you understand how to use it, your opponents are going to have a very bad day. But first, let me paint you a
If you've been struggling to find real forehand power in tennis, I want to tell you about a student of mine who came to me with a problem you might recognize. He was a fantastic athlete. Strong, coordinated, competitive. He could already hit the ball pretty hard. But he was

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
Here's something that trips up almost every tennis player I work with. They want more power on their groundstrokes. So what do they do? They swing harder. They muscle the ball. They put everything they've got into their arm. And it doesn't work. I was working with a student and
I had an incredible session with one of my students, Susan, and we discovered something that completely changed how she thinks about her forehand and how to control both flat and topspin forehands. She hits with a ton of topspin. Like, a LOT of spin. But here's the thing: she
