(By Rachel Sung) As players, we often hear our coaches and parents telling us before the match to relax and avoid letting our worries affect our game.

Coaching Tip of the Week: Play the Middle Against Tall Players, Wide Angles Against Short Players
(By Larry Hodges) A tall player’s forehand and backhand shots are farther apart than a short player’s.

To control your return of serve, shorten your stroke. This cuts […]

Coaching Tip of the Week: Play Both Weaker and Stronger Players
(By Larry Hodges) Many players who want to improve make the mistake of trying to play mostly stronger players.
