Thank you, I appreciate that.

This teaching is gold. Being late have been my problem for years. Thanks for the insights! Will work on this!

I like to have images of foot work and to practice it, this is real good tip cause it has a player staying ready, another is small adjustment steps if you have more time on your shots.

Totally agree about the small adjustment steps when you have more time.

Great video, Richard. Thank you. Love the practice tips about movement with a turned unit. “Program it over and over again” 👍

Inspiring. Good info, especially about the visual system. Finding it useful to play with players better than me, quickens my reactions.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. The channel is fairly new, so hopefully it will grow.

To prepare early and beat the ball to the bounce it helps to divide the court into zones sideways and front to back. Which foot work patterns we use to be in the right position then depends on which zone we anticipate the ball to land on. To reach balls that are in the running zone we need to take big lounging steps instead of shuffle steps.

FANTASTIC !

Richard Most people are not even paying attention to opponents contact. Doesn’t matter how good your eyesight and visual system is if you don’t engage it at all. You are correct, most people could improve their visual system, but since most people don’t react to the ball until the ball is about to bounce on their side of the net, that is not a visual system problem, that is basic conceptual problem where the player has not been trained to do specific tasks and specific times. That being said, the still really like all your visual system and find them extremely useful. Out of curiosity, do you do work on neck mobility and stability/strength as well? I find that this is an important overlooked area for tennis improvement that I don’t see much literature on.

There are certainly players out there that need to pay more attention, but it's really important to understand that having visual is a major reason people struggle to pay intention. People aren't deliberately not reacting until the ball is on their side of the court. All players know they need to prepare early. The reason they can't do it, is because they can't process and interpret the visual information quickly enough. Visual issues are literally the underlying cause of late preparation for most people. Every skill in tennis is limited by visual function. Anticipation, preparation, timing, ball tracking, tactical decisions etc. They all have a visual component. The reason it's so hard to fix technical issues is because players are compensating for visual issues. If someone get's too close to the ball or hits it late, can you see how not being able to judge depth can cause that? And if someone can't accurately judge depth, how could you possibly fix the problem? Yes, it's important to train neck proprioception and strength, because there is continual feedback between the visual, vestibular and proprioceptive systems. So sometimes to fix visual issues, you need to improve neck function and vice versa.

Hi, thank you for the awesome video! My problem at this stage is hitting the ball late instead of in front of me. Often times, it goes long. I also suspect that I don't drop my racquet head so I am hitting flat. That and I also need to bend my wrist for that lag so the racquet is contacting the ball at the right angle. I think my rotation is ok so that's not the problem.

Vision is going to be key for all the things you just talked about. Also i would focus o one or 2 things at a time. Changing everything at once is tricky.

Very good stuff. It would be helpful if you could structure it with some headlines displayed in you videos while you are talking. Would make it more easy to follow you and get the content

Hitting early is another issue

It’s actually a very similar problem. It’s still a timing issue normally caused by either lack of ability to judge the speed / distance of the ball. Or lack of ability to adjust the speed of the swing.

you need to change the sound, this sound like you slap the watcher's face , its very rude
