"Common Tennis Sense and Tennis Strategy: Don’t talk negatively to yourself during play. Sayings like “you idiot” or “I miss all the time” simply ruin your concentration. Think of only performing your shot."
Trevor Sands, Director of Tennis

"Hitting too many serves in the net? Keep this simple adjustment in mind… When tossing the ball on your serve keep your head up, your chin up and your tossing arm up as long as possible until you strike the ball."
D.J. Lutes, Tennis Pro
Beverly Hills Country Club
----------------------------------------------------------------
"What can you do when you are struggling at returning serves? Stop and remember the most important element of returning serve when all else fails. Watch the ball. Make it a point to focus on the ball as it’s being tossed. Do not wait for the ball to suddenly arrive on your side of the court. By locking your focus into the ball early in the serve, you will increase your chances of a better return."

What are the right things? Glad you asked! [read more]
