About the Product
How can players set themselves up to hit perfect returns like the pros?
Let Jack Groppel, Lynne Rolley, Stan Smith, and Nick Saviano show you
in Movement Training for Tennis.
Developed through the expertise of the United States Tennis Association
(USTA) Sport Science Committee, this video presents a progression of
drills to help players at any level add explosive movement to their
game.
World-renowned tennis coach Dr. Jack Groppel enlists the aid of USTA
tennis experts to show coaches, instructors, and players how reaction
time and movement time result in explosive speed. This concept involves
the player’s seeing the ball off the opponent’s racket (reaction time),
adding an immediate "split-step" toward the ball (movement time), and
completing the execution of the shot with a rapid release of energy
(explosive movement).
In Part I of this video, players start off with warm-up drills to
prevent injury. Next, there’s a progression of sport-specific drills
designed to help players improve shot anticipation, initial take-off,
footwork, body position, and recovery time after hitting the shot.
Players will progress from short speed drills to more complex drills
that incorporate lateral and horizontal movements.
In Part II, the unique sliding techniques required to play effectively
on clay is demonstrated. Players will learn how to step into the slide
before executing the stroke, how to recover after the shot, and how to
maintain balance throughout.
Movement Training for Tennis is a valuable tool in helping
players use movement to stay on top of their opponents’ shots during
match play and get the winning edge.
