Well done Coach, and Anna Leigh too. I also like watching Anna Leigh poach and put away her shot with the 2 handed backhand. Also when she does it above her left shoulder. Totally turns defense into offense. One of my main problems I realize I have is letting balls get past me. I find I'm too passive, not sure if it's slow reflexes, afraid of feeling like I'm hogging play or what?

Cool shot. The backhanded offensive roll shot is a weapon for sure

[RR-odjm]

Definitely one of the best shots in the game.

Are you kidding me? It doesn’t tell you the HOW, just that she DOES. Great video!😊

I remember when I wore shorts over my sweats, think it was in the mid

Dinking is increasingly important. As the competition increases.

Enjoyed the video, except your faces are completely dark. I'd love to see your expressions. Would you consider filming later in the day or on a cloudy day, or removing your visors?

So bad when people advertise things to lead other people …but in the end they show nothing!!

[patricksnyder]

It's not an uncommon shot on peoples forehand side but takes an extremely talented person to do it backhand!

[johnurban]

Why not show more video while talking? Didn’t learn much watching you standing there. Visual of what you’re talking about would have been nice. 15 seconds of video doesn’t really do much

[elleloesch]

Very little time is spent talking technique 😢
