Learning how to play tennis can be an enjoyable journey, especially when your game improves to the level at which you move effortlessly around the court hitting accurate and powerful strokes.
However, as with every journey, you can head off in the wrong direction. The direction you take at the outset makes the biggest difference in where you end up.
Unfortunately, tennis teaching has long been too intellectual, with too many verbal instructions. The result is over-thinking beginners who move like tennis robots.
