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
I was working with a student who had been avoiding volleys for most of her tennis career. But here's what impressed me: even though she hadn't volleyed much, she'd watched the instructional videos, learned the technique, and practiced enough that her form was actually solid. She was totally in the
I was working with a student who had been struggling with serve consistency for months. His mechanics looked pretty good during slow-motion practice swings. Nice rhythm, decent toss, solid motion through the ball. But the moment he actually tried to serve in a point situation? Chaos. Balls sailing long. Inconsistent
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

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 was working with a student on his backhand, and we discovered the only way to fix your two-handed backhand topspin — something that completely changed his shot in just one session. The crazy part? It's something almost every amateur player gets wrong, and once you see it, you can't
Tennis is literally destroying the bodies of hundreds of thousands of players all around the world. But it doesn't have to be that way. If you're worried about experiencing tennis pain, or you're already dealing with it and want to get rid of it for good, then what I'm about
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
