[tennisbiz] Coaching questions

Would any other coaches would like to share their views with
me on the following 3 situations. I already have my own views
and practice drills, but it would be nice to see what other
coaches (preferably performance coaches, for the 13-17 year
olds who compete county / state or national level) think.


1. Coaching an individual, how do you develop his/her service
options when playing against a sound receiver of the ball.
Choice of shots and practice drills please.

2. Having a training session with a group of 3 players, how
would you train them so that they are encouraged to counter
attack when playing in a singles match ? Choice of shots and
practice drills please.

3. On the mental side. How would you encourage/train the player
to look confident and think about his/her mistakes and try to
resolve them without showing much emotion. I know this is a hard
one but any in put would be appreciated.

Thank you and kind regards to all.
