In the next segment I will demonstrate how to use movement guides for the serve and volley, chip and charge, and the approach shot. You know the scenario, too many players attempt to serve and volley or chip and charge, but they never quite get into the net.
In the following workshop segment I start off by making an important point about what I like to call automatic learning, and how movement guides can help coaches run very effective workshops on multiple courts simultaneously.
What I like about this aspect of using physical movement guides is you can run multiple courts with ease. If you are doing a high school team workout, college team workout, ladies league team workout, and you have got two courts, three courts or four courts, you can set these things up or types of things up on multiple courts, run it with ease, and the people will learn what I call automatically. Isn't it like automatic learning when something forces them to do something and you don't have to explain it.
So now I am serving and volleying. I serve, I get past the first one, and then I play the first shot, then I go pass the second one, and that's my goal, alright, that's my goal. Very simple, it's very achievable.
Now, my first goal is just to get three feet in. No longer is it a big mental block. Here we go. So I go in, first one, and then in more, second one, and then I can play the volley.
If I was chipping and charging; you serve to me Mark please, it's a little harder. Watch what I have to do, I have to get in before he makes contact. Go. In, before he makes contact. One second, watch my feet. Before he makes contact I am in, then I go in more, and then I can make the volley.
If it's for the approach shot; let's rally, and when my feet get inside, at first rope, I know I can hit my approach shot. So I hit deep, and my feet get in, and then I got all the way into the net. Let's do it one more time. So these act as guidelines also for the approach.
Again, what's nice about it is, you can detach yourself from the court, and optionally we left those targets up, so that I have got a little bit of an angled volley target. Alright. Now, let's move on.
