Excellent advice👍

The whole 'treat it as data' mindset is such a game-changer. It’s way too easy to spiral after a mistake, but shifting to that chair umpire perspective really takes the pressure off. Staying neutral mentally can make or break a match. Solid video!

Nice video for a club level player like myself who is still just trying to get the overhead in 😅 - I will work on getting to the level where there actually is a plan!

Jorge, my toughest volley shot is what I call the jamb volley. The ones that come hard right at the body and at or just below my chest. I hit them as a backhand and I'll only have time to try and block the shot, but I have a natural tendency to chop downward and then I typically frame it. Any suggestions on how to hit those better? (Also, did you do a fundamental coaching workshop in Arizona last December?)

What is his forehand grip? Looks like continental?!

People see things differently. If a pattern developed, I played a player that whenever a ball lands near a line 5hey called it out. On the third call I simply stated that any ball near the line you call out. If I feel compelled to ask a second time the advice here is very good. A third time establishes a pattern. That’s when action must be taken . Asking someone near to call lines may not work if they are friends of the players. I’ve never walked off the court but your opponent must believe that you are willing to walk off otherwise bullies will take over getting into your head thus throwing you off. John McEnroe bullied all the time.

I would not like to be distracted by calling out the colors each time…but that’s just me.

I’m like you, Jorge. I like to play aggressively and end the point sooner than later. 👍

Perfect video! 😍

Cannot agree more. This is my mentality as well. If I do only 1 thing better than my opponent, I beat him 99% of the cases.

Great tip and thanks for sharing

Oh God, I've worked hard for years which you know and i want her so much to be a part of my dreams but why is she keep slowing things down when it comes our relationship fruition???!! I don't even want to believe that she doesn't want to be a part of it because her larger subconscious mind is excluding me denying/defying her excited conscious mind!!

This is from the Inner Game of Tennis

Tried this with my gf, i’ve played since i was 7 so i quickly got to top spin and back spin on each side and flipping back and forth. i taught her how to do it and she got to alternating both sides! great drill and it’s really helping her learn touch and hand eye coordination with the racket! thank you!

This is very good advice. Especially for younger kids and for short drills. Doing all three shouts is hard for breathing and mentally for a longer time. For longer practice it’s better to replace to just split-hit (or grunt instead of saying Hit) or to only Split or only Bounce - depending what action needs an improvement. This way kids can play a full set with verbal timing.

thank you, I'll be going for some long rallies early on in my game tonight, got to bed myself in.

I was expecting all players to be active, not rotating

I have had students complain that the racket spins in their hand and I tell them they are squeezing too tightly. They look at me like I am crazy :)

The power of grace.

Hi, Where is the print button? Thanks

Another positive thing to think about is the fact that even though you missed the backhand down the line in your example, the opponent still has to consider that shot as a possibility for the rest of the game. So even missed shots ask a question to the opponent in terms of strategy and game play

Absolutely Fantastic video..

If you need a hula hoop to try and explain tennis ....... you don't know WTF you're talking about.

Great visual aid

Very simple still extremely smart tip, thanks so much! Been struggling immensely with my mental (error judgement, negativity and cursing) troughout matches I know I can win if only I could play more focused and peacefully. Let's start testing this asap!

👍

The two-to-one win-loss ratio is very insightful. I've always wondered what a healthy ratio is for a young player's growth.

I applied it yesterday, and bring phenomenal result, thanks a lot

This is straight out of The Inner Game of Tennis by Timothy Gallwey, the best book around on the mental aspects of tennis. Glad these points are being amplified, thanks for the video!

very good videos for club players

Thanks Jorge! Excellent tips.

0:52 - High to level swing path. Not high to low 1:55 - More swing path mistakes and the solution 3:28 - Static racket backspin demonstration

hi jorge, I'm enjoying your videos. I'm writing today to invite you to "the art of competition podcast" We focus mostly on the mental game of competition. If this sounds interesting to you please reply to this message.

has anyone noticed her technique is different then her sisters? Serena has a ATP stype, pat the dog forehand while venus raquet is open the whole swing. Also, serena has a small loop on herbackhand while Venus has straight take back.

Excellent! 🙏

Great opportunity, Jorge, to add pressure to your practice matches. I also like giving my opponent regular add scoring, but if I lose 2 points in a row I lose the game, ie I'm up 40- love and dump a forehand into the net it's not 40-15 it's add out. A lot of game points being played You can also use it to handicap players at different levels.

🏆🏆🏆❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋💋

it is like "you do as I say, not as I do", ha ha ha

Control the monkey mind

High volleys, the bane of my existence

Excellent! 🙏

Yes, I think it's correct. In observation there is no judgment, no goal to achieve, no effort to become, not trying but just observation, therefore no conflict, no fear. And from that clarity maybe a more accurate action arises. But it is the most incredibly difficult thing. But sometimes it happens. Not saying I'm free from judgment at all but I do notice that free action in the very few moments when I was so lucky to be just observing; better shots, and vibrant games.

Jorge … porfavour 😂 slowly 😢😢😢 you speak too fast .

Very useful . I am always judging my shots 😢. I need to see as a data 👍

limit junior tennis tournaments,,,,,,,, IMHO as a professional coach worked with mens wimbledon doubles champion I would suggest to anyone forget the winning and learn the strokes, You learn the alphabet first when learning to write ... Too many people want to win or just hit the ball..Vic Braden books are a good read

I loved the simple way. Thanks alot for clip.
