@tommyenglish1 I understand fine. what im seeing is a good coach that just speaks a lot and does the same mistakes i did for many years . It doesn't matter though, This girl is great and has a great slice. What i commented was not a statement, it was an advice . i do agree it was written in a bad way, sorry for that .
that is why i will remove it . many times I mean 1 thing and get misunderstood for another .
@aviramdj Please let me know these mistakes I am making? And speaking a lot as an answer is not going to be sufficient. I am clearly not speaking too much. I am asking questions trying to get my pupil involved in her own development. I am training her to think and be able to solve problems on her own and understand what makes her shot work, thus making her feel responsible for her improvements.
@aviramdj I don't think we need to see where the ball goes to learn from this video or see the quality of these shots. And I am not saying the quality is high.
I don't use this method all the time or with every pupil but to show real "super coaching" I should have asked her more questions such as, "how would you like me to feed the next few balls? Harder? Softer? Higher? Wider? The pupil can then help me to push them and find the perfect balance between success and failure.
@aviramdj That is the problem with most parent coaches, they worry to much on "where" the ball goes. What this coach is concentrating on is what she is doing to the ball and getting her to do the same with her own thought process. What you need to understand is that it's what you "do to the ball" that gets the ball to the right spot and until you can control this aspect you don't need to worry about where the ball goes.
Well this is a huge problem for coaches in America. There isn't any space for the student to self-discover things for themselves. Questions are a great way to communicate with students. When someone can understand something without being told for the most part it sinks in more. Good video.
@ZawShin for one thing, this video helped my slice A LOT. it got me noticing what went wrong when i shanked my slices and allowed me to start noticing the small niches in my gameplay.
i enjoy every one of tom's uploads and i watch a video of emira hitting before i hit the courts because i think her footwork, form and technique are excellent, no doubt because of an awesome coach.
if you think the videos are irrelevant, dont watch them, but they are an inspiration to me so thanks tom!
@geepeeone I only had a lesson a week but I got my technique very solid because I have a passion for the game and paid attention to everything I saw. The only thing stopping me from being a pro was hard work. A good coach obviously helps but you can be a great player regardless

@tommyenglish1 I did watch the video to the end, cause the girl is very talented and was interesting to hear what the coach says .
Would have like another angle of view to see where her balls hit .

@aviramdj the fact that you wanted to see where the balls landed speaks for itself...
tommyenglish1 4 months ago
@tommyenglish1 Dear tommyenglish. yes it does speak for itself.
I want to see if she has good percentage and if she hits deep .
We people that watch this video cant know if she hits maby balls out or in .
we can guess .
Your method is good but you "overuse" it .
I think your a good coach, that is why i take the time to reply here.
Don't be a coach with an Ego, open your mind a bit ..
If you like I can show you videos of my pupils and love to hear comments and corrections .

here, I also learned alot . thanks .
Keep on good work .

Very clever. Interesting way to have a player experience body awareness and keep them focused on it.

If only I can get a coach remotely close to this level. Can't afford it.
