@Mreggznbaconz1. what is being compromised for your long strides? 2. With respect of making split step into a reflex, spend a day, a week, or a month, or as long as it take to consciously always do a split step every time your opponent hits. After a while, it will be a reflex. No SPECIAL exercise will explicitly help; making anything into a "reflex" is not a matter of the right drill, but to do it a lot and make it muscle memory.
@55hikky Agreed. Some say 10,000 reps will commit anything to where it can become a reflex. Daniel Coyle in his book 'Talent Code' has a good analysis. I found teaching the split step to be quite hard for kids and some adults and thus began to investigate the issues. You might be interested in a white paper called 'The Fundamental Sequence in Movement' found at the website sports-split-step under Documents. The split step movement is great for most all sports.
@Mreggznbaconz Jump rope. Do as many different footwork motions with the rope because the rope forces you to do everything quickly with small, coordinated steps.
@Mreggznbaconz The tennis school on the intosport website has lots of free drills for footwork - go to the tennis school homepage, then physical conditioning, then scroll down beneath the video player and click on the 'footwork & agility' tab... enjoy!
man i love the people chosen to do these vids. they all have good technique. and u even balanced the girl to boy ratio, and one hand to two handed backhands, and even have a lefty.
