There are NO REDOS anyway, just opportunities. Instead, Try to look for the primary issue and go from there, BEFORE THE FACT. Now you have presented an opportunity to the student. As a tester, the student was supposed to match the primary problem we saw, but the key for me was even if the primary problem didn’t match mine, that was OK as long as long as he progressed properly and the stud...

2018-07-1009 minThe PTM Podcast020 - Dr. Mark Kovacs - Sport Science BasicsBack when I was doing basic research after I would finish teaching on court, I started reading about LTAD. What intrigued me were the “Windows” of development and how we had to get this important stuff in before it became much more of a challenge to develop particular skills. The first was the window for agility, balance and coordination. The second was puberty. What I didn’t know that with A,B and C, the window started to shut somewhere around age 10-12. Which meant it was important to have these skills developed as much...

Jorge discusses the way he judges the value of his pros by using what he call his "Scale of Worth." The episode will have more detail, but basically this is how he determines what to pay his pros.

If you go on any teaching group page, they compare a player’s strokes, usually a young junior, to Federer’s, Nadal’s or Serena’s. I listen to discussion after discussion about it. Some really good stuff and some a bit out there, but how good is this really for a Young player? Well I just watched a video of Roger hitting at a fairly young age, 12 or so I would guess, with some nasty background music playing, a...
