Is it difficult to play tennis?

This question is often asked by many tennis enthusiasts. In more than ten years of practical tennis experience, the author has a deep understanding that it is easy to learn tennis but difficult to play well.

First of all To learn tennis, you only need a healthy body and a heart that loves tennis. Then there is your own feeling about tennis, which is much simpler than learning tennis. As long as you can hit the ball over the net and have certain control and basic correctness Posture can be regarded as knowing how to play tennis. But the most important thing is to have a professional coach and never rely on your own feelings to play. Once the muscles have formed a memory and the movements have been fixed, it will be difficult to correct them. The author has been engaged in tennis training so far If you really don’t want to teach someone who has played before, then you need to spend more time correcting it. This is the saying that it is easy to learn to play but difficult to change.

It is not easy to play tennis well." The term "play well" is very broad. Even the former women's world champion Graf is not very satisfied with his technical movements and overall quality. Therefore, the author is only focusing on amateurs. How to play tennis well first of all, in addition to having the ability to learn to play. In addition to the enthusiasm for tennis and your own quality, you must have the following three points

1. Strengthen your own strength. This includes upper and lower limbs, waist and abdominal strength. The first thing you need to be strong is that tennis requires strength other than your own strength. Mainly relying on explosive power, the own strength requirement is relatively low, but it also requires training. Therefore, when performing strength exercises, such as push-ups of the upper limbs, fast speed and standard movements are required. Generally, it requires about 40 times in thirty seconds. But in When training with dumbbells, you can do slow-paced exercises first to strengthen the strength of the forearms, because tennis blocks and many ball controls rely on the strength of the forearms. For example, four groups, two groups slow and two groups fast, the strength training of the lower limbs is From a professional point of view, we have barbell squats. But as an amateur player, I think it is more suitable to do some jumping. For example, one-legged jump, frog jump, step jump, etc.. Because you don’t have to rely on your own strength to play and run on the court. Moving, the pace requires more explosive span of bounce. The waist and abdomen include sit-ups, abdominal jumps, high leg lifts, etc.

2. Strengthen the speed of movement. Legs are actually a very important link on the court. .As long as the legs can be in place in time, you can have more time to meet each cricket ball. Therefore, if you want to improve, you must strengthen the speed of the legs. For example, after training, you usually run 8.23 ??and run in reverse, touch the front net and retreat. Training includes running, 50-meter sprinting, and emergency running and stopping. Among the students I teach, I have used small sandbags to tie the feet to run figure eight movements, N figure movements, and a series of single-step training. The results are very good for two consecutive weeks. It is obvious that the pace has greatly enhanced the speed and flexibility on the court.

3. Psychological quality and tactical awareness, these are the necessary conditions for becoming a master. Why should I focus on these two here? Speaking of them together, it is because there is a very important connection between them. Only with good psychological quality can we flexibly use tactics to win. Let's talk about psychological quality first. There are two reasons for the quality of psychological quality, innate and acquired. Training, innately, is what our profession calls an athlete's neurological type: whether he or she is a competition type. This kind of player will be very excited in any competition, especially when there is support and attention from the audience and the outside world. He can even perform at his best level. There are very few players with super-level performance, and many players are training types. They usually feel very good regardless of the speed and rhythm of the ball when practicing, but once they compete, they seem at a loss. Their muscles are stiff and they dare not play. This It is also the biggest obstacle to playing tennis well. You can only rely on yourself to play more games to strengthen your confidence. Especially when your skills reach a certain level, you can train in the form of match training. This can also improve your psychological quality and better adapt to the game. Feeling. Tactical awareness is also an important part of winning the game. First of all, you must learn to observe the opponent's technical strengths and weaknesses. Generally, experienced and vicious players can roughly figure out the opponent's strengths and weaknesses in 5 minutes of training before the start of the game. This is still due to the usual There are many game experience. There are many tactical training methods. You can develop a series of combination training based on your own skills and multi-ball. For example, the combination training of bottom line, midfield and net volley. So in general, you need to find the combination of training and competition by yourself. Let yourself show your training level in the competition.

The above is the author's own experience. If there are any shortcomings, I hope my friends can give me advice
