My Daddy / My Coach No. 30
In this lesson, I review my daughter's forehand and backhand grips, and correct the racquet back-drop on the serve.
In this lesson…
In this raw, 50-minute coaching lesson, I’m taking you behind the scenes of a real tennis session with my 9-year-old daughter. No fancy edits – just the actual drills and tips we use for real results.
What we cover:
– Part 1: Correcting the Western grip tendency on both the forehand and backhand.
– Part 2: Improving the racquet drop on the serve to finally eliminate the “waiter’s serve.”
This coaching lesson is part of the How To Teach Tennis course, with the full progression and many more tips and drills.
