Great video Pete, especially info about the continental grip. Never really realized that the slice backhand is really the continental, as well as the serve and volley. It is important to really be aware of this as I try to improve. Many thanks!

This is a great video Pete! Your discussion of King Richard and how they trained the young ladies reminded me of "The Talent Code" by Daniel Coyle. He has a chapter where he talks about the Russian tennis academy that produced many top level players (Safin, Sharapova) and they didn't have much resources (racquets, balls, etc) so they had they students practice shadow strokes for most early learning.

Such a good video thank you for those tips! I think everything you said about the volleys equally applies to overheads. So many players can’t beat “pushers” because of weak volleys and overheads.

Really great tips that indeed most coaches usually neglect to say. Being a tennis player for the last 8 years I totally agree to 9/10. Most of them I discovered after playing for 3-4 years and reaching to a very good level. I disagree regarding the comparison between footwork and technique. Maybe between tennis players that already have solid technique the one with better footwork prevails but this doesn't make footwork more important.

Very good summary of core elements to becoming an advanced tennis player. Referring to pushers, and here on youtube MEP (=most exhausting player a.k.a. Ben from Atlanta, Georgia) is kind of famous inside the youtube recreational tennis community. Without playing a clean technique, he has managed to not only become a 3.0 or 3.5 or 4.0, but a 4.5 player. So as Peter is describing, you can win matches with that style of play if you can develop consistency, skills in tactics and court vision and, of course, will and a good stamina. What Pete doesn't mention is, that this pushing playstyle creates most of the power of your forearm, while a clean technique creates power from uncoiling your core and swinging the racquet. This difference doesn't only result in restrictions of speed and quality of shots, but also in a stress on your forearm. That is why learning a clean stroke technique doesn't only help you play more aesthetically, but also reduces stress for your joints, tendons, etc.

Footwork, to me, is one of the biggest keys to playing well. Even in your service, it's important to get your feet in proper position and how you follow through on your serve. Liked the "how you hold yourself", if you present yourself as confident, it carries over to your play, even if you're losing. Take each point as just another point and approach it with confidence. And yep, I start everything with the continental grip and adjust from there.

Things I wish people told me: 1. You obviously need technique but bad tactics defeats oneself even if they have perfect technique. 2. You need to move beyond the baseline or else short balls are unreachable. 3. Going easy on your opponent doesn't make them give you points and games voluntarily. 4. You must actually get nervous and attack the other player with offensive tactics. 5. Proper technique and footwork does not automatically give you professional level power when providing minimal pace.

Peter: You are right about the footwork. You have to have the correct footwork. Footwork first then techinque. I didn't realize that. But that is 100% spot on. If you don't have the correct footwork than you can't hit the ball properly.

when people practice the volley they stand to close to the net and then their volleys start landing short and the groundstroker must rush in (I never hit the ball on the second bounce) and is forced to hit a polite dink shot to maintain the rally. (When close to net it is suicide not to hit an angled, aggressive volley and we are trying to rally in practice.) Instead the volleyed should stay at service line - with a little movement forward and back - and try to hit the volley deep. The baseline person can then hit a full blooded groundstroke - NOT a passing shot - that would land near the baseline if it wasn't intercepted. NOBODY does this
