SPECIFIC MATCH CHART PURPOSE:
CAUSE OF ERROR CHART:
Tennis is a game of errors. The first most critical step in error reduction is to spot the actual cause of the error. This chart will require you to identify the cause of the error. Once the most common cause of errors are identified, customized development begins. Note: Not all errors are caused by improper form!
COURT POSITIONING MATCH CHART:
This chart will differentiate whether playing “reactive” tennis from behind the baseline earns the best winning percentages or whether playing “proactive” tennis from inside the court increases winning percentages. The comfortable court position the athlete prefers to play may not be the position that earns them the most points.
BETWEEN-POINT RITUALS CHART:
This chart will identify the player’s ability to stay focused and execute their critical between-point rituals. Players who do not keep their brain focused on the task at hand have to defeat two opponents-the opposition and their wandering mind. Between-point routines could be considered a second performance critical to the software development of an athlete.
