I give my friends a lot of advice on a variety of different things and while I'm at work, I tend to be quite bored and don't have much to do so I was surfing the net and found this site and thought it might be interesting. I've been through a lot...so I think I can help some people out...

I was on my high school tennis team from my sophomore year on and I was asst. coach to the JV team my Senior year. My advice to you, if you're already in decent shape and have a good endurance built up, the most important thing is to work on your footwork. I'm a bit clumsy so I caught myself falling over my feet a lot. You can have one person on the other side of the net throw or hit the ball to different places around the court. A good exercise to is to just run on your side of the court from the left to the right and back and front and to the back..,doing side steps and such. If you're endurance and footwork is up to par and you just need better work on your front hand and back hand...practice against a wall...it's great practice for technique and you don't need anyone else. My technique was always decent but my endurance sucked...I made up for it though by having a killer serve and great vollying skills. Practice your serve and try to make it as powerful and acurrate as possible. I was fortunate enough to have a great teacher. Good luck and have fun.
