21st Century Tennis Drillswith Bill Mountford,
USTA National Tennis Center Director of Tennis (NTC),
US Open Director of Player Operations,
USPTA Eastern Division President, Founder of the HEAD Junior Tennis Academy (NJ), USTA.com contributor ("Tips of the Week" & "Ask Bill" columns) Bill Mountford demonstrates an innovative way to teach the game that focuses less on structured technique and more on athletic movement--what he calls "guided discovery"--through playing the game. Mountford demonstrates this coaching style through a series of "play-based" drills that can be used to improve overall performance and improve specific skill areas. Mountford demonstrates twelve drills that can be modified to develop specific areas of the game. Each drill is designed to aid different areas of the game such as foot movement, closing in on the net, teamwork, quick volleys, shot selection, ball judgment, ball tracking, and fast movement dynamics. Each drill is competitive and fast-paced enough to condition players during each practice. Mountford's practice drills provide a useful resource that will allow players at all levels to learn to hit every shot! 46 minutes. 2005. Coaching High School Tennis with Bill Mountford,
USTA National Tennis Center Director of Tennis (NTC),
US Open Director of Player Operations,
USPTA Eastern Division President, Founder of the HEAD Junior Tennis Academy (NJ), USTA.com contributor ("Tips of the Week" & "Ask Bill" columns) Internationally known for his success in teaching tennis, Bill Mountford has created an exciting instructional video specifically for high school coaching! With a combination of lecture-style teaching and on-court demonstration, Mountford reveals his secrets for becoming a successful coach. He begins by stating six simple guidelines for coaching: keep it simple, compliment profusely, avoid over-coaching, keep instruction concise, become a resource for tennis in the community, and promote the game. Mountford also gives his advice on topics such as ranking systems for players, conditioning, and building team unity. He uses on-court demonstration to illustrate four different innovative practice drills. Each drill is uniquely designed to emulate game situations as well as continually condition players. He discusses and demonstrates how to have a successful practice with minimal court space using drills such as "rotating approach" and "circle game". With drills such as "half-court king/queen" and "triples", Mountford demonstrates how to utilize a large number of courts with minimal players. Mountford shows how to design each practice to help you easily evaluate each player's true ability. He also provides tactics and strategy advice for both singles and doubles players.
