The road to 5.0 - Footwork and conditioning | Tennis training session 03

Спорт

Forgot to turn on the mic this time out, so I was saved by GRILLABEATS with this nice beat called "Arigato"
The goal of this session was to get the legs moving and lungs working so we started off with higher intensity bursts that got me moving around the court, getting comfy with the size of the court. These spike my heart rate pretty quick and things can start to fall apart, so if anything these make you focus on maintaining quality strokes when the going gets tough.
Have never been the most natural mover on the court, and especially moving forward I'm a little tentative to get forward. You'll see I run into these balls up short, open my chest, and lack proper setup for the shot. Will work on speed to get up to these balls in order to get proper setup.
The second half we setup targets for inside out cc and dtl, with the main focus of drilling the inside out crosscourt to get that useful shot nice and deep and comfy. Coach calls out the target on the feed, and occasionally switches it up with the dtl as dtl is fun but riskier - but it helps you get comfy with changing the direction on the fly.
The first thing I noticed was that my inside cc were going shorter than I would think and I had a ton of court to still work with, so I worked on getting that shot deeper and deeper because it's crucial not to hit that one too short if you step around it. That corner of the court has always appeared smaller and more cramped to me, so I recommend drilling these, not being afraid to explore that court and you'll get a better perspective of how much space you're working with, hopefully gaining confidence in that corner.
Let me know what you're seeing and what needs to be worked on, would love to hear your thoughts!

    And now I discover your road to 5.0 series... I feel stupid having suggested what you've already thought of... again. The worst part is I watched this video before I moved to Richmond and did the same drill with my wife.
