Sometimes a more visual approach is better.





Sometimes as a coach no matter how much you demonstrate to the pupil they cannot quiet grasp the concept of "pro nating" or contact point until they see for themsevles by the use of video analysis what you mean or want them to do.The last few sessions I have used this with students and the results in understanding and how to improve on certain aspects of their shots certainly adds points for the visual learning technique.Its been very usefull in comparing Top players such as Nadal, Murray and Sharapova in the same way and showing the students their swings etc against the students.Although each player is different certain characteristics appear in all players and their shots.I think most players have a different interpretation on their strokes until they see them via video analysis.Using this concept can also help track improvement because in a few months when you next take a video the coach and player can see the new improvements against the old swings. If local players would like a video analysis done please let me know. ( Just click on the picture and you will get a bigger photo)
