Tennis from the ShiFu

OKie, just in case i click the wrong button, I'll put in another entry.

Had a tennis lesson from an ex National Player. Forget the title. He is a personal coach anyone who love to have! What makes a good coach? Most of the time I just get drills with a small grp of 5-6 ppl. Not bad but having personal attention to all your little mistakes and idiosyncrasies. Describing the session I had with him will do him injustice. Go try for yourself! He corrected my attitude towards tennis basically. My footwork, my stance, my habits. He didnt enforce "THE BASICS OF TENNIS 101". He just noted my style of playing and got me to improve and gave me good hints and tactics. He taught me how to serve and I aced ss twice! HAHAHAHAHAH!!!! The whole mindset of tennis and the dynamics of it. WOW!

Didnt have enough, I had another private coaching with another coach who was great too. It was fun! I love to have coaches who really note and respect your style of playing and correct it from there. Had fun training and learning.

When I went for the SSC course a few years back, it was like a factory mould press style. EVERYONE had to do the same thing, comfortable or not, he will enforce BASICS OF TENNIS 101 on you till the series of lessons end. Dead beat. Of course that was much cheaper lar.

Cant wait for the US OPEN. Nadal's gonna rule the court, make federer sweat and force him into early retirement. HAHAHAHAHA...... Justine's gonna beat Amelie this time! Well, all the best to my fav players!

Till then, stay happy and stay tuned for more stuff from me. Love ya all!
