Dear Tennis Enthusiast
Issue 22, April 2008
April is a crucial month of year - the change from the hard court season to the clay season. For many from Europe and South America this is a most welcome change as they eagerly seek to build their points doing what they do best - sliding and grinding. For the Americans and Australians clay might best be described as an achilles heel! The tournaments leading up to the French Open will be full of intrigue.
This month read about...
- The key components of coaching beginner juniors
- How to train your reflexes and reactions and
- Runing a modified competition for biginners during your lesson.
