And that’s transition footwork.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now, a couple of weeks ago, I was asked to teach 3 transition footwork classes at the U.S Tennis Congress in Tucson, and TJ Simers asked me to teach these classes because he knew that I’m very passionate about teaching footwork, and I feel very comfortable teaching it. And what I realized in teaching these recreational players, where there were 4 players on the court for these 75 classes, is that almost every recreational player doesn’t understand how to move from the baseline to the net.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are many misconceptions out there. There are many coaches teaching players to move forward the incorrect way. It’s really sad, because it doesn’t have to be this difficult. You can understand transition footwork. You can implement it. I don’t care if you’re a beginner, an intermediate, advanced player, I don’t care if you’re 10 years old, 30 years old, 50 years old, 80 years old. You can learn how to do this.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now, you might not be able to do all of the footwork patterns that I teach when it comes to transition footwork, but you certainly can do 1 or 2 of them that can make a tremendous difference. It’s all about becoming more rhythmic, more dynamic, improving your balance, being able to flow through the ball. All of these aspects that I don’t hear people teaching, or I don’t hear players understanding, I don’t see them understanding when I watch them move, there’s a disconnect. There’s something off with the way that we perceive how tennis is taught the way it is actually taught, the way it’s implemented.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And, of course, I am on this mission to change it, because I just see so much misinformation out there. So, if you have questions about transition footwork, how to move forward efficiently, gracefully, how to move with rhythm, you can reply to this email where you’re listening to this audio, and you can ask me questions. I’ll steer you in the right direction.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But, just know that sometimes, the difference between winning or losing, or sometimes, the difference between jumping in other levels, it might not have to do with your forehand, or your backhand, or your serve. It could have to do with your footwork, and specifically, learning how to play more attacking tennis, going from the baseline to the net.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, hopefully, you enjoyed today’s audio, and I look forward to seeing you at the next email, or at the next audio. Continue to send me feedback. Let me know how I can help you on what questions or comments you have. I’m super passionate about helping you all out there. So, I will see you or talk to you soon.</span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><a href="https://servefundamentals.tennisevolution.co"></a></p>
