Is is still too late for me to play tennis?
Well I am 17 years old and well I recently start playing tennis...and well I just love playing it. I have a Head Ti.-S2 racket. (I just picked a random one) I have a sports background or playing mainly volleyball on school teams, and ultimate frisbee in tournaments. I just think that with the footwork training from volleyball and the eyesight from reading peoples movement and the spin of the frisbee would at least provide some skills in tennis.
Do you think that it is too late from me to even try out for the tennis team?(Tryouts are in the Spring) Or should I just keep it as a hobby?
I strongly recommend you to try it! You're only 17!
Don't forget many of most successful athlets used to do another kind of sports before they get successful and famous.
Try It, if It's late for you, you're gonna find out.

Movement Training For Tennis Video (Copyright 1990) (VHS) $31.95 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.About the AuthorThe United States Tennis Association (USTA) is the governing body for tennis in the United States.

Movement Training for Tennis: Move Like an Athlete (DVD) $29.99 With John Officer, US Naval Academy Head Tennis CoachTennis as a sport has attracted players who have focused solely on that pursuit without developing all around athletic skills. The innate athletic ability of many of our players is questionable due to the specific focus on tennis. There are various athletic moves on a tennis court which can be taught. The current movement training involves a series of exercises designed to improve explosiveness, agility, balance, and endurance. The exercises are done separately from hitting a tennis ball. This tape will show all the athletic moves for each individual stroke on the tennis court. The key for athletic movement is to understand how to fuse the patterns with the strokes rather than simply isolating training. The goal is to move like a top flight athlete.46 minutes. 2004. |

Footwork Fa12 $78.07 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Footwork FA12 was a Formula One car for the 1991 season. The number 9 seat was taken by Michele Alboreto and the number 10 seat was shared by Alex Caffi and Stefan Johansson. The team never employed a test driver. The engine the team started the season with was a Porsche 3512 3.5 V12. By the time the Footwork team appeared at the French Grand Prix, the team switched back to the FordCosworth DFR 3.5 V8 engines for the rest of the year, in a modified version of the car designated the FA12C. The Porsche 3512 was intended for the new Footwork FA12, but the size and bulk of the engine meant the car had to be redesigned to install it properly, so the 1990 based car called the A11C was used for the first three race meetings. Both Michele Alboreto and Alex Caffi failed to qualify for the United States GP, but Alboreto managed to qualify the car at Interlagos until retiring from the race. Alboreto also qualified for the San Marino GP, but failed to qualify for the Monaco and Canadian Grands Prix.

Fast and Furious Tennis: Advanced Movement Techniques (DVD) $29.99 With Chris Russell,University of Washington Associate Head Men's Tennis CoachCoach Russell presents drills for developing the skills of explosive court movements and angle coverage to improve position on the ball. His main focus is the 'big hop', a move that expands explosiveness and court coverage. The 'big hop' is a great tool when returning the second serve. It also takes time away from the server and reduces the chance of error. This technique is also presented as a valuable strategy in doubles play. On-court players demonstrate resetting offensive position on the volley. Russell also covers the specialized forehand, which allows the player time to get positioned on top of the ball. Other movement techniques covered include the 'dipper', the 'waddle', the 'sharpie' and chasing the ball. Russell also analyzes the curve of the ball on volley shots. The proper curve makes it very difficult for opponents to hit effective return shots. This is an excellent training tool for tennis players serious about taking it to the next level! 46 minutes. 2007. |

Tennis Footwork Drills?
My hand and wrist are injured from over exercise. what can movement and agility drills can i do?
Ladder drills are great. You can just google those. sprint recovery is great to. that is where you sprint 30 yards walk back. do that 5-8 times. then sprint 60 yards. walk back. do that 4-6 times. then 100 yards jog half way back then walk the other half. do that 2--4 times. This will help you be able to run on the court longer.
