Have you ever felt like your tennis game has stagnated? You play matches and win the easy ones, but can’t seem to beat the same guy who you’ve lost to 6-4 6-4 for the 100th time in the past 3 years. And you haven’t improved that same old weak backhand and inconsistent serve even though you practice 5 times a week? Read on my friends. Here are six golden tips I’ve learned over the years that will help you improve your tennis game immediately.
1. Have a Plan on the Practice Court
The number one reason why you aren’t improving is because you don’t have a plan when you practice. Think about it: if I have weak volleys, and I practice as normal by hitting a zillion groundstrokes and then calling it a day, will my volleys improve?
You must (1) Identify the weakness; (2) Make a Plan to fix the weakness, and (3) Implement the Plan. [Remember IPI if you like acronyms…..or the letters P and I 🙂 ].
Sample practice plans include: (1) Today I’m going to work on hitting my volleys past the service line. (2) For the next 2 service games, I will hit topspin serves to increase my first serve percentage. (3) I’m going to spend 5 extra minutes per practice session hitting crosscourt backhands.
