Elevate Your Coaching: Teaching Tactical Footwork That Sticks
Presenters: Juan Arbelaez, Virginia Poggi, Karl Davies
Date: February 12 at 12:00-1:00 ET
Are you tired of telling your players to "move your feet," only to see them still lunging or out of position?
Most coaching focuses on the mechanics of the swing, but we know that many mistakes happen from the ground up. The challenge isn't just getting players to move; it's teaching them movement that supports their tactical decision making. Join us for a specialized coaching discussion designed to help you transform your players from "reactive runners" into "proactive movers." We’re moving beyond the ladder drills to explore how footwork dictates court geometry and shot selection.
The Body Serve Connection
Presenters: Dr. Greg Rose
Date: February 18 at 12:00-1:00 ET
Effective coaching begins with recognizing how a player’s unique physiology dictates their swing and court coverage. Instead of forcing a "textbook" technique, coaches should prioritize movement patterns that align with a player’s current mobility, stability, and explosive power. By understanding the essentials of the kinetic chain, you can select technical cues that work with a player’s body rather than against it. This "movement-first" approach ensures that the patterns you teach are not only efficient but also sustainable and injury-resistant.Join us for an exclusive deep dive into RacquetFit, the industry-leading protocol developed by Dr. Rose and a hand-picked team of tennis and sports performance experts.
