One of my clients asked me how to improve there endurance in this hot weather we're experiencing, Cardio and more cardio, preferably outside.

Tennis Tip 1.Toss your toss at 11:00 for the right handed server, 1:00 for the left handed tennis player, Also if your practice your toss the better it will get better quicker,
find a spot on your ceiling and toss towards that spot, like 100 reps a day. Tennis Tip 2: Improving Your Backhand Volley with Atlanta Tennis Coach Jeff Michaud, aka Fitness with Jeff, Atlanta

For Good Tennis Backhand Volleys Give the "Safe" Sign for the perfect volley!! for the proper volley techinque.

A common flaw in many club players' backhand volleys is their tendency to chop down on the ball, allowing the racquet head to drop below wrist level. Usually, the result is a volley hit off-balance with so little pace and control that it catches the net.

To hit a more effective backhand volley, keep your wrist firm and, instead of chopping down on the ball, flatten out your volleying motion. Think of yourself as a baseball umpire giving a "safe" signal when you hit the ball.

As you punch forward on your volley, your free arm should extend away from your body simultaneously in the opposite direction to help you maintain your balance and keep your volleying motion crisp and compact. By hitting "safe" and sure backhands volleys, you'll find yourself scoring more often at the net. This tip goes equally well for any backhand shot in tennis.

This tip comes from the USPTA website tip of the day. Come out and see Atlanta Tennis Coach Jeff Michaud aka Fitness with Jeff to learn more useful tennis tips.
