Thanks, Evan

Hi Evan,
You can't force someone to train properly. You can talk to him about the benefits of serious training and try to encourage him. The other option is to find another partner to train with.
It is also possible to do some practice during games though this is not ideal. For example you can try and work on a particular stroke and use it as much as possible.

Think about finding your opponent's weaker side and whether they prefer a faster ball coming towards them or a slower ball. Try different spins, speed and placement! Watch the video now to learn more great tips on how to beat a defender.
