Dear Coach

What exercises should I make to improve my reaction?

Alois Rosario Answered 11 years ago

Hi Ahmad,

I think the best way is to get someone to block to you are a reasonably fast pace. It will mean trying to find someone that can block consistently as well.

Get them to block anywhere. Start at a slow pace and get them to increase the speed as you get more comfortable.

Focus on watching the ball carefully. This will give you the best opportunity to see where the ball is coming as early as possible.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
