Hi,

I have been testing a program which works on the subconscious part of your mind. It has been specially designed for tennis players by sports psychologist Dr. Robert Heller.

I'll review the program and let you know what I think. Expect my email next week.

Speaking of tennis products, Todd Scott is offering a 4th of July special for his Tennis Fitness program.

Head over to his site and check what kind of discount you can get if you act quickly.

1. What's new?
--------------------------------

a) When you analyze the technique of top tennis players you realize that their technique is very similar. Their strokes are not exactly the same but they all contain same technical elements.

Were all this players taught tennis in the same way or is there another reason?

Learn more in The Origin of Forehand And Backhand Tennis Technique video article.

b) I recently had a chance to work with a total beginner. The girl was 10 years old and she has never held a racquet in her hand before.

She was very talented and we raced through out first 2 hour tennis lesson. Click on the link to see what she learned in only 2 hours.

Tennis Thoughts Blog

I post almost every day on the Tennis Thoughts blog sharing my, well, tennis thoughts so there are many new articles.

I asked you a quiz question in the last issue of the newsletter and many of you posted correct answers.

The question was: How Do You Know That Hit A Top Spin?

Here are my thoughts on this:

Proofs And Indicators Of Hitting A Top Spin Stroke

2 more interesting posts since the last newsletter issue:

2. Q&A
--------------------------------

Q1: I am looking for some tips on how to make someone excited and motivated about practice again once they start to lose it or already lost it?

I know sometimes it is needed to have some break. But beside that, what else can be done to motivate someone again?

How To Improve Your Motivation For Playing Tennis

Q2: Playing mixed doubles: I know how and can get it over the guy or around the guy but in a match once it happens once it seems my racket just keeps doing it and feeding him i just get more and more and more down and frustrated w/myself and then end of feeding him overheads basically.

I know to get it over him or away from him and i know how i just dont’ seem to be able to do it no matter how hard I think I am trying in a match after it happens once.

Tennis Is Not About NOT Missing, It's About Winning

Q3: However, I find that some players tend to jump up and down or make sudden movements when I look up during the serve to distract me and this works very well on me.

As a result I start double faulting again. I don’t know what to do in this situation because I can’t not notice it.

How To Ignore Opponent's Distractions When Serving

Feel free to comment directly on the blog and share your tennis thoughts about an article or Q&A.

That's it for this issue, I'll talk to you next week when I check out the subconscious tennis program.

Zivjo,

Na Tajskem je trenutno samo okrog 32 stopinj in oblacno tako da tenis niti ni tako tezaven.

Kako kaj poletje v Sloveniji? ;)

Ta teden ni novih slovenskih clankov pac pa vas vabim, da si preberete clanek z videi, ki vam bo pokazal od kod izvira teniska tehnika forehanda in backhanda.

Na blogu Tennis Thoughts je tudi mnogo novih clankov od zadnjega e-mesecnika zato ne odlasajte z danasnjim treningom anglescine in pridobivanjem novih teniskih znanj.

LP, Tomaz
