Complete step by step guide for the modern forehand teaching method 🎾
Even a 5 years old can do it, just like Maverick 👦

05/08/2021

Let me share my teaching opinions about the tennis development. I had the luck to see at very early age Martina Hingis and Alexander Zverev. Melina Molitor (Martina's mom) was feeding the balls to Martina in very different variations, forcing her to figure out the best positioning and answering each and every ball. When we was playing doubles together with Mischa Zverev at age 16 (with György Balazs, who was 17 and top 10 in the ITF world junior ranking) Sasha was there too with her parents. His mom (Irina Zvereva) did exactly the same thing with Sasha every single day, when his brother was competing during every tournament. I was attending a lot of worldwide coaches conferences, where I saw, heard and learned a lot of teaching methods, but I never saw these kind of approaches. My personal experiences with later very high level players (Attila Balazs in Hungary and Sophia Yang in the USA) I did the same thing, always thought everything game based, so their reactions to different playing situations was completely flawless and natural. I had other players, who I started at later ages, and it was very difficult to implement these kind of fast instinct reactions to different situations, because of the "closed skills" teaching experiences.
The little girl (Cecilia) is 4 years old, she started 5-6 months ago, and Maverick is 5 and a half years old. I'm trying to do the same thing, what I did with the above mentioned players, and it looks it's working. I was talking to my friend from Hungary, who's working with young national level players, and his experiences are the same, the "standing technical method" learning kids has not enough fast abilities to react to the different situations and obviously they're behind the concurrents. It's just an example, maybe everyone should thinking about different approaches to reaching the certain level even at the very early ages development.

Unusual post today..... Jordyn Kuo played couple of tournaments lately with couple of problems with her finishing shots. We analyzed her shots and basically we figured out, that a necessary racquet change could help. She changed to the Wilson Pro Staff V13 last Tuesday (Wilson should pay for that 😊) after she tested mine. Suddenly all her shots landed on the court, fixing the issues itself (thank you Roger RF 😊)
The result of the change brought her last weekend an unbeaten result in Macon, Georgia, where she played a National level 5 Tournament. She reached the semifinal in singles and final in doubles, but the tournament got cancelled due to the heavy rain, so no trophy, but great success, congratulations! 💪🏼🎾
