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

a) I often receive questions about tennis strategy and tactics through my contact form and I'm happy to reply. But I am also aware that there are many different ways of solving a tactical problem in tennis.

That's why YOU can now ask questions and give answers on the Tennis Strategy Tips page!

The links to questions and answers will be below the form into which you can enter your questions. And if you want to answer and share your tips please use the comments form which will be seen below each question.

I also suggest you bookmark the page and check back often to see new questions and answers to your questions.

b) I recently received an email from a tennis parent to whom I have replied a few months ago. The question was about pressure that his 9 year old son feels during the matches and how can parents help.

I've split my answer and original question into two articles and if you are a tennis parent please take the time to read them both:

Part I: How Parents Create Pressure For Their Junior Tennis Players

Part II: Mental Toughness Of Junior Tennis Players And How Parents Can Help

2. Tennis Thoughts Blog
--------------------------------

A reader asks about high kicking top spin groundstrokes - why don't the pros use them more and how can we learn them?

Learning To Hit A High Kicking Top Spin Groundstroke

What can you do about negative thoughts that keep appearing in your mind? Even if you try to think positively, the negative thoughts prevail.

I'll be leaving Thailand and the Tennis Academy of Asia on 5th of December and will stay in Slovenia until 15th of January when I leave again for USA. I hope to tape all the material for advanced videos by then.

Busy days ahead!

All the best from Thailand,

Zivjo,

Za angleske bralce sem pripravil stran, kjer lahko postavljajo vprasanja in odgovarjajo na temo teniske taktike:

Tennis Strategy Tips

Ce ne veste, kako premagati nekoga, ki samo vraca zoge (tako imenovani pusher ali "zlati prinasalec"), ce imate tezave z levicarji ali karkoli drugega na temo teniske taktike, potem zastavite vprasanje v anglescini in v kratkem boste dobili odgovor.

Ce se vam ta oblika vprasanj in odgovorov, ki so vidni na spletni strani zdi zanimiva, mi posljite email z vasim mnenjem in pripravil bom tudi stran v slovenscini!

Za vse teniske starse zelo priporocam tudi tale 2 clanka:

Part I: How Parents Create Pressure For Their Junior Tennis Players

Part II: Mental Toughness Of Junior Tennis Players And How Parents Can Help

In se to: v Slovenijo se vrnem 6. decembra in ostajam do 15. januarja, ko spet odputujem za mesec in pol v ZDA na kratek dopust in teniski seminar.

See you soon!

LP, Tomaz
