Hi Evan,

You can't force someone to train properly. You can talk to him about the benefits of serious training and try to encourage him. The other option is to find another partner to train with.

It is also possible to do some practice during games though this is not ideal. For example you can try and work on a particular stroke and use it as much as possible.
