The Real objective of Tennis Practice

Well, let me begin by telling you what it is not? It is not to better your strokes. It is not to job on footwork or even concentration. There are all indirect advantages of what you are aiming to perform – which is to build habits.

Tennis practice is about growing the habits that you would like to occur during a match without any serious though. The way in which you practice serve to either build these habits or damage them and make habits that detract from your performance during match situations.

Here are the mistakes people make in practice
