You’re going to love it.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now, what I want to tell you is how you can improve as quickly as possible without a coach, and this is what I did when I was in my 20s, moving into my 30s. This is how I learned the game even quicker, and here’s what I would do: I would study the videos, study videos of the top pros, but I would take it a step further; I would actually get videos of myself: hitting forehands, hitting backhands, hitting serves, and nowadays, it’s much easier to take videos of yourself on a phone, and then to upload it to your computer, and do a side by side of Federer, or Djokovic, or anybody that you want to emulate, and I used to do that back in the day.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I used to get videos—I actually worked with John Yandell. He took a lot of videos of me, of all my different strokes, and then, we would go side by side with all the great players of that generation: Pete Sampras, Gustavo Kuerten, Mark Philippoussis, Andre Agassi, and we really tried to break down the stroke, and I would spend hours in my hotel room, hours in my apartment, trying to figure out how I can improve my technique, and I made a lot of mistakes, because I, sometimes, copied the wrong things. But you know, you live and learn.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In your case, you benefit, because you can tap into all the tips at our blog, and on the podcast, and in our premium programs, as well, so that you can fast track your learning; you don’t have to learn the hard way like I did.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, what I want you to do is I want you to take videos of yourself: of your forehand, of your backhand. Video analysis is very, very powerful, and even if you don’t know exactly what to look for, you can get these videos of yourself side by side with the pros, and you can look and see where things break down.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A lot of times, it breaks down with the first move. So, you’ll see the first move to the ball break down, especially on the serve. but you’ll see that on the forehand, and t</span></p>
