If you're like most tennis players, you saw rapid growth at the beginning of your tennis journey, followed by a sudden "plateau" where you stopped getting better. Months have turned into years, and you're probably starting to feel like you've been in the same place so long that advancing in level is hopeless – well it's NOT. Here's how to break free and see real improvement again...

Absolutely brilliant coaching. That's an incredible commitment to players of all levels.

Oh that good old stubborn tissue memory. Always love seeing players make progress.
This is what separates a good coach from an elite coach. Part 2 of a great series.Looking forward to part III.
Thank you Ian and ET team.

You’re a verrrryyy patient teacher. It takes a lot honestly to change people, well period! Thinking about signing up for a session!

[coachhannah]

Practice mindset vs competition mindset!
Also, when put under pressure one reverts to old habits (successful or not).

[lisathecat]

Thank you Ian. It’s not only really helpful but a really interesting process you’ve outlined.

[ryanmason]

Very cool analysis. I appreciate that you value the learning process and don’t just feed tons of balls and watch customers poorly execute the objectives. This is refreshing to see.

[jvcelt]

love thank you.... with your gentle nudge, self 2 will get us there...

[architennis]

This is great! Looking forward to your next lesson on this topic.

Thank you so so so much ❤️ I love tennis way too much and always wanted to be a professional but i noticed a huge difference between me and my fellow academy friends and the difference was of technique. I was hardworking from the very beginning...best in physical fitness best in diet best in recovery never threw a racket but still they all were winning and i was still doing handfeed everyday for a long long time and whenever i thought i was ready i still anyhow landed on last court doing handfeed while others were progressing and one more thing happens to me a lot-injuries, various injuries almost everywhere i knew the technique is the reason but now this video makes direct sense ( i do the best warm up and cooldown including rehab too in academy) because coaches kept motivating me and i thought i am slowly getting it but for sure i was using my body parts more resulting in overuse. Going through a very tough time now almost on the brink of quitting but something keeps me from quitting even though it sucks to be on court not enjoying anymore. I know this will be very hard to do the things told in the video but i will try.
Sorry for this long post i don't even no you will see it or not but thank you so much. I wish you were my coach

Wonderful, this video just gave me what I need to know how to improve my one-handed backhand, which is bad. Even I was able to improve it and know how I should do, I'm still falling back into my "old" habit. Now I know what I have to do to come out of it 🙂
I will start slowly and what I can do with space - not on the court - to change it. Thanks a lot.

[Kenzie_Hill]

Great step by step coaching tips. This is why your my #1 coach ❤❤❤

[UndulatusAsperatus]

WOW.... Ian, that's one of your best videos EVER!

[speedymr]

Wow Ian, great content. This kind of videos are really helpful.

[arthurajamian]

Your « Fake toss » is an awesome thing. I’m definitely gonna use it during my lessons. The fact that the brain still tries to bring back the old habit, even is the ball is far away, is an insane tool to make progress, imo.

[alexandrzamboch]

Hi Ian,
thank you for a great video. I hope you get the channel to the big numbers again.

One note to the training session. The lady is keeping her left hand outstretched while doing the body rotation. I found that it is better (for me) to bring the hand closer to the body during the body rotation as it helps to rotate easier (like figure skaters rotate fast with their hands close to the body and rotating slow with their hands outstretched).

Regards,
Alex

[timothyhess]

Ian, excellent video. Thanks for the explanation.

[ybakos]

Ian, what an excellent series. Thank you. Are there additional "stepping stone" teaching techniques you have used that might come after "fake toss?" I seem to be able to infer the alternating shadow, fake toss, placed toss stage. But then what about stepping stones from there to "live groundstroke"? Thank you for making a difference in my learning and improvement.

[rds]

unfortunately, I recognize my biggest issue which is split stepping. Nearly all my missed returns are when I forget/fail to split step. When I'm slow to react to dropshots or misshits, it's because I didn't split step. Now I do a great job the first 2-3 shots, but then I get a little involved in the point and trying to win and well there goes my split. Fortunately for returns, I've gotten better about it except when there's a bunch of lets/caught tosses. THe thing is I've tried jump roping. I don't see any benefit. I guess I could pay a homeless guy to hangout at my matches and yell at me when I don't split step.

[julianpenfold]

Everyone reaches a plateau sooner or later, based on their level of talent - even professionals. After that, improvements are going to be both harder to make and harder to measure. I've been playing many hours a week for 10+ years, had hundreds of lessons, put tons of effort in. I am probably improving, but how can I possibly measure this in any reliable way?

[kellygraves]

great stuff. it's like trying to break up established neural connections. the goal is neuroplasticity. maybe give your students LSD at the start of the lesson lol
