I'm a big fan of keeping things simple when talking to juniors. I see you didnt talk about the clock face, for example tossing the ball at 11 o'clock for a righty, and you didnt talk about how far into the court to toss the serve. Another point was that you didnt discuss the different plane of motion; a kick serve swing path is almost parallel to the baseline, whereas a flat serve is almost perpendicular to the baseline. Do you discuss this at all with the juniors?
