I start with an assessment of their current level — technical skills, shot consistency, and court awareness. We play a few rally drills to evaluate shot selection, pace control, and positioning. Then I identify small inefficiencies in footwork, transition play, and anticipation. The focus is on refining, not re-teaching. I end the session setting clear performance goals and explaining how each week will target specific high-level improvements.
At this stage, we enter peak-performance refinement. Training becomes highly individualized — targeting micro-adjustments in anticipation, shot disguise, and transition speed. Sessions mimic pro-level rallies, emphasizing endurance, precision, and split-second strategy. We analyze match footage, track data progress, and prepare them for tournament play and high-pressure environments.
We focus on performance-level improvement
- advanced dinking patterns, counter-attacks, and deception. Lessons include situational play under simulated tournament conditions. We train tempo control, stack formations, and communication for doubles synergy. Mental resilience, body language, and pacing strategies are integrated into every session to build complete match confidence.
We work on advanced pattern drills and tactical decision-making. I challenge them with live point scenarios emphasizing third-shot variations, attacking from transition, and defensive resets under pressure. Video review or real-time correction helps fine-tune paddle angle, contact point, and shot timing.
These lessons build precision and adaptability in competitive play.
