"You don't hit the tennis ball with your legs."
That's absolutely true.
So why do tennis coaches constantly tell players to "use your legs"?
In this video, I explain what coaches really mean when they talk about loading your legs and how understanding this one concept can completely change the way you generate power.
Instead of relying on your arm, you'll learn how to use the kinetic chain to create pace, improve consistency, and reduce stress on your wrist, elbow, and shoulder.
In this video you'll learn:
• Why coaches emphasize leg drive
• How loading creates power
• What the kinetic chain really is
• Why "arming" the ball can lead to injuries
• A simple checkpoint to know if you're using your body correctly
If you've ever felt like you have to swing harder just to hit deeper shots, this video is for you.

Have you been relying too much on your arm?
