Episode Notes

In this AMA episode, I answer questions from players I've coached recently, as well as Tennis Tribe Members.

You'll learn how to respond when an opponent has a clear pattern that keeps beating you, an in-depth breakdown of I-Formation, practice ideas, and how to play with non-strategically minded partners.

The first 3 are free to all, while you'll need to become a member for the last 3.

  1. How to handle someone who hits sharp angles.
  2. What to do if someone keeps lobbing the return vs the I-formation.
  3. How to play doubles with a partner who isn't interested in strategy and just "smacks the ball."
  4. Member only: The best way to attack the I-formation, and what to consider.
  5. Member only: All the different ways to cover the lob after you get a short, approach shot.
  6. Member only: 12+ themed practice ideas for a 90-minute clinic, and how I think about planning drills.

If you're in the Miami area and want to sign up for my doubles camp on April 18-19, we do have a couple of spots left. Shoot me an email (will[at]thetennistribe.com) or sign up here.
