WHAT IS REALTENNIS?

First of all, the most important thing to remember is that real tennis is not about me, and what I know, it’s about you our listener and how we can help take your game to the next level.

Sure, I will be giving advice and tips that I feel are quality content tennis items, but I would rather hear from you and what you want to hear.

Through the use of audio video and print, I hope to bring all of your questions to the table and answer them in a way that makes sense to you.

To be able to do this, we need your comments, questions And feedback so we can make this a source where players will want to go To get their questions answered by leading experts from around the world.

Just listen to whom we will be talking to in some of our upcoming episodes:

1. An NCAA Division 1 National Championship coach
2. A WTA Tour player and her take on what is important in taking your game to the next level
3. A coach from the biggest Junior Tennis Academy in Europe
4. A 28-time Grand Slam tennis Champion and the only guy to win both the singles and the doubles in ALL 4 major tournaments EVER!

6. An ACE (American Council on Exercise) National trainer of the Year

8. Prince Sales rep

How can I define what Realtennis might mean to you. Our listener:

1. Real tennis might be defined as, yes, I know that the kinetic chain will allow me to hit the best groundstrokes possible and reduce injury, but I have a match tomorrow

Wants and Needs: I want to hit a certain way, but all I need to do is…………

Percentage tennis: Doing what makes sense will definitely win more matches for you, but there is always a time to “Break the rules”

“Tennis is a game of percentages, not absolutes”

Stroke Similarities (common denominators): There is no one-way to hit a ball, but there are certain “COMMON DENOMINATORS” that most of the great players have incorporated in their strokes. You can do the same with your style.

Playing with the tools that you have in your toolbox at the present time: This will change and the more tools you have to get a certain job done, the easier it may be, but don’t use tools you don’t own yet for the most part. Can’t hammer a nail into a board very easily with a caulk gun.

Self-Realization: The key to stating your journey to the next level:

Once you realize where you are at in your game, HONESTLY, you will have a much easier time doing the things you need to do to get to the next level

The Keys to winning matches:

1. Winners and Errors and why both are important (Check out episode 1)
2. Why your percentage of points won on second serve is extremely important
3. Percentage tennis
4. Knowing what tools will beat the player/team across the net from me
5. What do I need to think about mentally

What do the real players on tour say they think is important?

In episode 001, we will be talking to a representative from Prince, Gus Giltner, on how to choose a racquet and going over unforced errors in the pros that was discussed in tennis magazine
