The Bulletin - February 2008 News for the Residents of Belterra February 2008 Volume 2, Issue 2 B ULLETI N THE Belterra Community News FOUR STAGES OF IMPROVING YOUR TENNIS GAME Submitted by Fernando M. Velasco Tennis players, as many other individual sports, need to have “personal” attention in order to improve their games. In my 35+ years of coaching, I have been successful improving games of players who have trusted me with their games, using the Four Stages listed below. Stage One: Consistency Our muscles react to repetition of something that feels good and natural. If a player needs work on a particular stroke, hundreds of balls need to be given so the production of their stroke looks the same regardless of where the ball is located. Consistency of grips, foot work, anticipation, point of contact and follow- through, need to be almost “carbon” copy of each other. Stage Two: Control Do you know that there are only eight shots that can be executed when you hit a groundstroke? They are: cross court, down the line, flat, top spin, slice, drop shot, lob and “miss-hits” Once a player reaches the consistency of getting the ball over the net and into the court, the player needs to start working on controlling the “where” and “how” type of shot. As players advance on control, they will combine these shots, such as “top spin cross court, slice down the line, top spin lobs, etc. Stage Three: Depth Most players want to hit the ball an inch above the net height. If players look at most of the great players, they will realize that most of the shots they hit are at least three feet over the net and land between the service line and base line of their opponents. The balls that are “skimmed” over the net, are usually passing shots when the players come up to the net, or great winners that only a Roger Federer or an Andy Roddick can do with great control and consistency. Stage Four: Power Once a player feels comfortable with the first three stages, then it is time to create Power. Unfortunately, most tennis players become injured by going to the Fourth Stage too quick into the game and become frustrated, thus ruining their weekend games and being sore for an entire week due to torn muscles. Power is generated mostly by good timing, good foot work, reading early where the ball will land, and by planning the shot even before the player gets to the ball. Most players in League level 2.5 to 4.0 will end up winning their matches by mastering the first three stages, while the ones going to stage Four too quick, will be spending their time with ice packs and taking Ibuprofen pills until the next match and start the “vicious” circle again….
