Many of the world’s top coaches are asking the questions…
How can we get both players engaged during a drill?
How can we transition from offense to defense and defense to offense during drills?
How can we get more effective practice during a three-hour session?
When doing a private lesson, I usually have my student begin with a slight footwork drill for warm-up, consistency, and confidence. After a couple minutes, I’ll usually have him start with serve or serve return for the remainder of the drill. Many of my students are “bummed” when we start the drill with the serve because it “messes up” the drill. Before reading the rest of this article, I want you to watch a very short video of me doing a drill without the serve then doing the drill combining it with a tournament serve.
Pride is one of the most wicked sins in the sight of God. When we are prideful, we think that we are self-suffiencient and don't need God. Through the Bible, we are commanded by God to see our sin, turn from our wicked ways, humble ourselves before God, and seek forgiveness and salvation through Him.
