Training
Hi Alois and Jeff,
I'm 21 years old and an advanced player. Now I want to help my coach with training the Junior players, most of them are 8-14 years old. Some are beginners and some are already a little bit more advanced
Now my question is, what can I do to make the training fun and intresting for them. Since I think I would be more of a serious coach, trying to focus on technique mostly. But I also want to keep training sessions fun and intresting for them.
So do you have any ideas for maybe some fun excercises for them they can do, some games? Anything.
Kind regards,
Rob
Hi Rob,
Try to find game type activities that you can do with them. Base it on the drills that you are using. For example if they are doing a footwork drill, do the drill but score how many rallies each player wins while still staying with the drill constraints.
Question actions
It's important that you assess your opponent's skill level and your own skill level. Using this information you can then decide how much risk you need to put into your game. If your opponent is a lot more consistent than you, you may need to go for a bit more on each of your shots to try and force an error.
