This document provides advice on how to learn and improve at tennis. It emphasizes that tennis is a "feel game" and the better a player can feel the game, the faster they will progress. It recommends shadow swinging for 30 minutes or more to picture the perfect stroke and then hitting thousands of balls on the court while focusing on grooving the stroke and getting better feel with each hit. It claims that if players get out of their own way and focus on repetition, their strokes will develop on their own without needing to overthink. Coaches are said to overcomplicate the game and the document recommends letting the learning process happen naturally through focus and practice.

FEEL THE GAME ( play tennis better today) In this short report Im going to tell you what tennis is and how to learn the game faster then you are now. First of all tennis is a FEEL game, the better your feel the game, the quicker you progress and the better you will play. Its really that simple, people struggle, because no one tell them this and they get confuse in the learning process. I believe coaches are overrated and they make the game more difficult then it has to be. If many of them would just change their approach to teaching, it would do a lot to help the students improve in the learning process. What you want to do as a player is get a vivid picture of the stroke in your mind before you start, I mean as clear as possible, look at some of the pros, that you like to get some idea of the stroke you want to learn. Next, start shadow swinging for about 30 min. or more picturing the PERFECT stroke as you do. You want to FEEL yourself getting a clear picture in your mind of how the stroke is going to look. Now the hard part, get on the court and practice by hitting 1000s and 1000s of balls. Here the thing, you want to groove the stroke by getting a better feel every time after you swing. What you are using is repetition and focus, to learn the stroke. Let me tell you what will happen if you get out of your own way. The stroke will develop on its OWN! Yeah, you didn’t know this like most students don’t, hell, I don’t think most coaches know this because, they are too busy TALKING all the time. In fact, what you are doing is teaching yourself, I know that might sound strange, but its true. Coaches are just guides for the students in the learning process, and I hope more of them will change their teaching method ,to fit the MODERN times. It took me 15 years of coaching to figure this out and I have had a lot of coaches attack me on this, but Im standing firm . So, once again try these step and make sure that you keep improving your ability to focus and concentrate as you practice. It boils down to self-feedback, while staying in learning mode. If you do all of this with a great attitude, you will see your game take off like a ROCKET, I promise you will not believe how this whole process works, Im basing all this on first hand experience and over 15 years studying the game . I do consider myself a EXPERT and a STUDENT of the game, that means I know it like the back of my hand, but Im still looking for ways to improve my teaching methods. Okay, now its time to get out on the court and get busy. Try to stay relax while you are playing and let the process just HAPPEN, don't over think when you are playing, this is the main reason for the frustration that player go through when they are learning, everyone wants to be perfect, but the opposite is true here, its all about repetition and focus, adjusting overtime after every swing. Then what happens is the stroke will actually develop on its OWN, you wont have to do anything, thats the secret to learning a stroke, or should I say developing one! I promise if you take this approach that you will see your game go to another level in weeks, but keep in
mind that you must let this take place , don't try to force it! Let me leave you with this great quote i read and use it often( When the student is ready, the stroke will APPEAR)
