RAC Family,
We are over half way through the year! Do a quick mental reflection and see where you are… but don’t stay there too long. How you want to finish the year? Don’t get too emotionally caught up with how much or how little progress you have made thus far. If you are happy with your progress, celebrate those successes but don’t let it blind you from continuing to strive forward. If you are unhappy with your progress, don’t dwell on the failures but rather embrace the opportunities ahead of you to make a change.
Remember that while you should keep your eye on the prize, one of the hidden truths of life is that the path to the prize is always more valuable than the prize itself. Enjoy the journey!
Stay strong, BG

BALANCE: The key to better more consistent tennis
Why is balance so important in tennis? Tennis being a very fast moving dynamic sport, it has many variables. The speed of the shot you are returning, how much spin (if any) the ball has, where you will hit the shot from, as well as environmental factors (wind, light, temperature) are all variables every tennis player must deal with. The one variable you can control is you. Having balance during your swing will add power, consistency, and ease of recovery after each shot.
Here are 3 steps for increasing your balance:
1. When hitting anything, other than a serve, your split step is crucial. The slight hop, just as your opponent strikes the ball centering your weight equally on both balls of your feet, will allow you to respond quickly to virtually any shot.
2. Get to the shot before needing to make contact. This will avoid hitting on the run or worse hitting while falling.
3. Have a wide base. Hitting with your feet at least shoulder width apart, with a slight lean into the shot or on your opposite foot for an open stance will maximize power and give you a launch pad to recovering for the next ball.
Although there are many more intricacies to each shot, focusing on these 3 steps will help almost all players.
