  1. Patrick,

    I’ve been teaching tennis for over a decade to adults with average abilities (no up and coming pros here), which are probably the most difficult type of students extant. Most of them play in a USTA league. and all of them are interested in learning to play better tennis, and as such are motivated.

    I was not surprised at anything in your video in the least. If fact in my hour and a half biweekly lessons, my assistant and I drill them for half of the lesson and have them play practice sets for the remainder.

    As an instructor with pretty astute observation talents, I cannot find anything in your first video to disagree with. Remarkable.

    Thanks for the comments. I didn’t say every tennis instructor would disagree. I just think many instuctors are more comfortable teaching stroke technique than tactics.

  3. Dear Dr.Cohn
    This video was an eye opener to implement a successful practice game to a match.

    I am coaching my 15 yr old son and do definitely hope that this will bring about the desired results.

    I look forward to the other videos too!

    Very grateful to you and with warmest regards
