Training Tennis Tennis training videos...do they help? Any advice?
I've been playing tennis for only a month or so, I'm decent, but I've not had any real coaching. I play pretty much everday, and I love it, but I am wondering...if I buy a training video, do you think it would help me improve?
I am specifcally referring to....improving my grip or teaching me proper technique as far as serving?
I just want to know if training videos are overrated or actually useful.
Thanks,
-Natasha

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.

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.

What is the correct weight training for a tennis player?
I need weight training to become faster. My mile time is 6:20 but I want to become a better sprinter and have better agility. I also need strong arms. I have access to weight rooms so anything will work.
mile isn't as important for ur speed. speed ad endurance are different things. work on reaction time drills and short sprnts like 50 m. with faster reaction u'll move faster shortening ur time to get to the ball. and u'll have a better set-up to hit it.
for weight training tennis uses just baout every muscle. the main ones are in ur arms which could include the bicep and tricep. the bicep is for ur forehand. i suggest preacher curls. and bicep curls. hammer curls too. tricep and chest can be helped my bench curls.
i have a website full of these but currently i dont have acess to the computer i bookmarked it on. best answer me and i'll email u the link. or jut email me later and i'll send u it
Most of these top players were weilding a racket before they were even old enough to read a book. A lot of their education was neglected by the rigors of training for a tennis career. But they do have to grow up fast, in some ways, and I'd think all the travel and the cultural education would benefit some and bring the world (and their place in it) into better perspective. Some players go on to run training camps or manage tournaments, or remain somehow connected to the sport. Others spend more time and effort running their charities or foundations. Still others, like Lendl, move on completely to something else. It does seem incredible that Sampras did not put much thought into 'life after tennis'. With his fame, reputation and connections in the sport it seems he could have opened any number of doors for himself.
