Welcome to our last newsletter for 2006! We would like to take this chance to wish everyone a safe and Happy Christmas and New Year period. Our next newsletter will co-incide with the Australian Open and Roger Federer's next chance to add to his grand slam collection.
This month our newsletter contains the final installation of the Psyched-up Drills for Tennis series, dealing with Self Control and Concentration. We cover the Masters Cup Final - exploring Roger Federer's brilliance and James Blake's inspirational comeback. The second week of our lesson plans deal with baseline play, particularly from the forehand side.
