subject: How To Play Tennis Video [print this page] Tennis technique is only a small part of the abilities and skills needed to play tennis. Most instruction online and on court fails to recognize this.
They teach you the technique but not HOW TO PLAY. Moving your arms in a "correct" way has very little to do with being able to play tennis.
For example, they keep telling you how to follow-through, not seeing that your biggest problem is judging the ball flight and getting to the right place in the 1.5 seconds you have available.
Having many instructions in your mind makes your brain very busy, so that it cannot calculate the ball's flight and your timing correctly.
The result is that the more you think about correct technique, the worse your timing and ball tracking get.
Consequently, you'll probably miss the shot, and the coach will probably tell you what to think next so that this mistake won't happen again. Unfortunately, thinking more instructions about technique won't fix the problem of thinking too many instructions about technique.
So, the problem deepens, and you are in a magic never ending circle of mistakes and over-thinking how to correct them.
This beginner's package fills the gap by teaching you how to play tennis as well as how to swing. It shows you exactly how to speed the motor learning process, so that you improve much faster than beginners normally do.
