During these extreme times, I have been trying to improve my teaching skills. There is so much information out there, online, that is very relevant. The techniques that I was taught as a junior have been gradually changing. The materials, rackets, grips, balls, etc. have changed. Carbon fiber rackets are very light and powerful, balls have gotten faster. The hand position on the grip has changed making it much easier to hit the ball harder.
 
I have gradually started introducing these techniques to my older students, not just the juniors. They are accepting the changes and feel more empowered and confident. I try to make the changes gradually so to not overwhelm anyone.
 
It is a lot of fun to have a senior student snap their wrist on their serve, hit an open stance forehand with a semi-western grip and close in on a volley at the net. Very satisfying for them and me.
 
I think it is important to keep learning and adjusting to the new information. Never think you are too old to learn. You are not! Constantly learning is fun!
 
Good luck on the courts!
