Efficient training
Training
jack neo Asked 14 years ago
Hey coaches,
How do i make my training more efficient? I can't afford a private coach and can only play about 3 times a week with each session being about 2 hours due to schooling. I play with my dad on my personal training sessions but he isn't all that consistent and is not used to the modern training schemes. How can i improve faster then?
Thanks

Hi Jack,
I think a good solution for you is to train your Dad to feed multi-ball. His skills don't have to be very good to give you some really solid training.
You will then be able to get some really good training. The 3 sessions of 2 hours is enough for good improvement if you are working hard throughout the session.
It is really important to spend each minute of your sessions working hard and focusing on something you are trying to improve.

#32 - Effective Returns
In this training plan we put together all of the different returns we've learnt and focus on producing an effective return. You should be aiming to topspin all long serves and then weighing up your options on the short serve. A good short push is a great option but you also need some variation with either a flick or a long fast push. Go out and put this training plan into action and work on improving your return.
