I can't do it this way!
I can't do it this way!
Often, during tennis lessons, when the teacher suggests a technical change, the student feels uncomfortable when trying to modify the shot.
This is because sometimes we find it difficult to abandon a habit that we have already automated.
To overcome this difficulty, always REMEMBER the following 3 tips! :
Trust your coach's advice.
Make the change step by step.
Allow the body to automate the new change progressively, without expecting results right away.

How to enjoy tennis
HOW DID I DISCOVER THE WAY TO ENJOY TENNIS?
I must confess that in my case I started to really enjoy tennis much later than I would have liked.
In any case, I learned that these things happen for a reason and, my personal experience helped me to focus on this aspect from the first training sessions.
Taking into account the emotion with which the student connects at each moment of the game, I managed to add a very important factor to TENNIS KING METHOD, understanding that even though a good hitting technique is essential, the nervous and psycho-emotional state of the player constitutes a large part of the final result.
Thus, I learned to develop one of the training strategies that I have valued the most, which consists of redirecting the player's attention towards the sensations and less towards the result. The student himself can experience how the "MAGIC" of learning fluidly and enjoying at the same time happens.
Am I ready to play?
Am I ready to play?
Although the answer to this question may be very relative and personal, here I will simply give you my point of view based on my experience.
This section is closely related to the previous article "How to enjoy tennis."
This sport requires some time of technical instruction, training and monitoring by a professional, and certainly a lot of practice before trying to enter the court to play a match, at least if the player intends to have fun and put into practice what he has learned.
We must keep in mind that, unlike a "friendly" or competitive tennis match, in classes the teacher will always look for a way to facilitate the student's shots by adapting the intensity and trajectory with which he puts the ball into play.
IN SUMMARY: my advice would be to invite the student to play on his own only when he feels that he can enjoy an exchange of shots with another player in a fluid manner, and being able to develop much of what he has learned without frustration. This would be a way to have an EFFECTIVE and FUN tennis match.
The Art of Stringing
The Art of Stringing
How many times have you looked at a tennis court through the strings of a racket? And have you ever wondered what story those strings tell?
Behind every racket lies much more than a simple piece of sporting equipment. There is the pursuit of the perfect feel, the most accurate shot, and the ideal balance between control and power. There is also the meticulous work of those who understand every detail and know that even a few pounds of tension can make a significant difference.
A passion for tennis is not born solely on the court. It also lives beyond the baseline—in the care of the equipment, in the choice of strings, and in selecting the racket that best suits each player's style of play.
Because every player has a story to tell. And often, that story begins with a string pulled tight with precision.
