Hi friends of Everyball,

I had the privilege of being a guest on the Kris Soutar Tennis Journal podcast last week and below is the link if you'd like to give it a listen.

We covered quite a wide range of topics including the impact of lockdown on how player's might 'own' more of their development going forwards, the merits of the UK and US University and College Tennis systems, the journey of Halton from a ground zero start back in 2002 to what it is today and a little about our evolving vision and culture at the club.

Hope you enjoy it!

Wish life choices were so simple but on the serve we've got two choices as what to do with the feet!

What are you?  An upper or a backer??

In case you're undecided I explore reasons for each in this post that might help.

'Use the legs more!'

A fair bit of advice often heard in many a coaching session, but using the legs can mean a number of different things. 

Here, I look at how you can use the legs (specifically the back leg) on your groundstrokes to release the kinetic chain (body segments) through the shot.

What happens when you turn too late?

Too early?

Not at all?

and bang on time?!
