Hello and welcome. My name is Philip Halfman and I'm the director of Exercise and Sport Science at the IAAPH and I'm also the author of Advanced Concepts of Strength and Conditioning for Tennis. We have received a lot of inquiries from you guys in the past asking us to show a training session with a professional athlete. So in today's episode you will be able to take a look into a training session with Swiss National Junior Champion Alexander Richard. The training session will consist of dynamic stretching. On court tennis drills will also show how to incorporate speed letter drills into a tennis training and towards the end we'll have some surf and volley. So you're welcome to join in. I hope you like it. Every training session styles with a dynamic runoff with the upper lower body. You can see Alexander performing lunch with strength rotation followed by a lunch with ceiling reach before we get to go into the court and start with one core training. At the beginning of today's training session we want to focus on lateral footwork and ground strokes. One great way to accomplish both in one exercise is by using an integrated speed letter drill. Before you can do this drill with your athletes make sure they're familiar with the lateral fast feet speed letter drill. So set up the speed letter behind the baseline and have the athletes move through the speed letter before hitting ground strokes. The focus is on perfect movement mechanics and stroke production. Next drill we want to focus on improving the footwork for the inside out forehand. This can be accomplished by combining two speed letter drills. Lateral fast feet and the posterior crossover before hitting the shot. Nice with good rhythm and in good form before finishing the training session with some serves. Well that's it again for today's episode as usual opinion differ. What's your point of view? Let us know below in the comments section.
