Consistency Wins...!


Here is a photo of my stepson practicing his serve last year. Nice knee bend. Good arm extension. There are a lot of good things happening in this photo but one of the best things going on in this picture is the fact that Connor was setting aside special time to practice his serve.

Strokes don't improve without time spent honing them. Generally there is a direct correlation to a player's match results and their practice time. It's important to focus on consistency first. Remember, more points in a tennis match are lost, rather than won, even at the professional level.

Make it your goal to put the ball in play consistently before moving on to playing power tennis or focusing on put away, finishing shots.
