Two short days after returning home to Milwaukee from my three week trip to
Indian Wells I headed right back to the airport to take another tennis trip.
This time it was to beautiful Hilton Head Island in South Carolina to help
coach a local men's college tennis team during their yearly competitive trip.
It was an amazing week full of time on the court (both playing-in and
coaching) that left me remembering several important lessons I hope you'll
find interesting.
Here's my top four:
1.Players with inferior technique can still win, even at high levels.
The #1 singles player for the team I coached had the most unconventional
technique I've ever seen from a player his level. At first glance that might
seem like a put-down but it's actually quite the opposite
He was a high level hockey player as a junior, continues to play hockey at
the college level and only just picked tennis up around six years ago,
deciding to play on his college team for fun.
This guy hits a quick "slap shot" of a two handed backhand with his top hand
literally gripping the throat of the racquet, he hits mostly slice off his
forehand side, and his average first serve can't be more than 60mph.
All this against players who have 120+mph serves, heavy topspin off both
sides, and massive weapons from all parts of the court.....and yet he finds
ways to frustrate his opponents and even defeat them.
What bridges the gap for him?
Quickness, anticipation, an uncanny amount of court sense, and a Nadal-like
(seriously) amount of hustle and determination.
Please don't misunderstand me here......I'm not saying that you shouldn't
work on your technique, far from it.
However, seeing this guy compete against and even beat players that had far
superior strokes to him all week made me realize just how multifaceted
tennis really is.
Technique is a huge part of the equation and it's something you should
always be trying to improve, but at the same time tactics, mental toughness,
and good old fashioned hustle go a really, really long way.
Hopefully that's encouraging to you! You don't need strokes like Federer to
be really successful out there, even against really good competition. | i******n

打冰球的人跑动和转向都非常好，所以不容易打死，而且胳膊和手腕的力量都足，他跑
到后用打冰球的动作手腕一抖就把球勾回来了。不过这种就是pusher的打法。
我估计文章里的那个hockey选手底线时对落点的控制和在跑动中对球路的控制都非常好
