Dear Tennis Enthusiast
Issue 12, June 2007
Welcome to June's newsletter
as the tour prepares for the transition from clay court season to grass court season. With the pro's turning to grass it might be an ideal time for coaches to review Serve and Volley Tactics; with young students watching the tactic on TV which is so rarely used in the modern game.
This month's newsletter includes:-
- Week 8 of GSC's sample tennis lessons ;
- An article exploring the best tactics for performing on clay;
- The "Common Coaching Problem" of beginners getting too close to the ball; and
- The mental strength of Roger Federer's game in another installment of the "Federer File".
