Stance different in training vs matches

Training

Hi Alois,

I've observed that I can keep a wide stance and low position in training but often stand more upright in matches. It results in being out of position and making more mistakes. Although I'm getting aware of it, it is very difficult to change. It seems it is an old habit and even after almost 2 years of regular practice w multiball etc hard to get rid of. Any tips?

Hi Matthias,

This is an ongoing issue for a lot of players.

I have seen a training device that may help.  It is used more in Tennis but we have experimented with it in our Para program in Australia as well. Here is one link that will show you what I am talking about.

OMG this is brilliant! I'm going to make this kind of device out of a rubberband resistance trainer.
