In this
section you will have access to valuable coaching information. You
will learn what the top college coaches say to their players before,
during or after a match. Of course, every player is different and
what works for one player may not work for another. But by recalling
and sharing their actual "match stories" these top coaches
will help provide a valuable service. You can also e-mail us coaching
questions that we will address to our panel.
Here's an example of the match-coaching forum:
What have you told a player after she/he has been broken?
"To think about the future and not dwell on what has happened.
They need to focus on what's coming up by making a good high percentage
return. For example, on the first point if they serve wide to my player
I want them to return crosscourt and put the pressure back on the opponent.
They can get the momentum back on the first two points."
