Single Essentials
What’s your playing style?
The style of your game makes a big difference on how successful you are on the court. A serve and volleyer will have different patterns, strategies, and training blocks than an aggressive baseliner.
Optimizing your effectiveness, increasing enjoyment, and facilitating confidence involves matching your playing style to who you are as a person.
If you’re not comfortable with how you are playing, then you will never reach your full potential. The whole point of sport is to enjoy and express yourself physically.
Finding your favorite patterns.
What do you feel most confident hitting?
It all begins with a sensation.
If you had a choice to hit a specific shot, what would it be?
Forehand, backhand, volley?
Then where do you enjoy hitting it the most?
Down the line, crosscourt, inside out, or inside in?
Maybe you don’t know what some of this language means.
Maybe you do but struggle to find opportunities to hit it as often as you want to.
Whatever your shot might be, and wherever you like to hit it, it all starts with knowing your favorite.
Understanding that greatness takes time is vital to your continued improvement.
Embracing the journey will help you maintain your eagerness to play and train, but until you start the journey, you will continue to get the same results.
