Who's gonna need it

The material is needed by players who get stuck between the back line and the kitchen, get balls to their feet and try to punch an opponent from an uncomfortable position

Как действовать

Перед контактом снизьте центр тяжести и остановитесь. Ракеткой перед корпусом сыграйте мягкий reset в кухню или низкий нейтральный блок. Если ответ соперника опускается, сделайте шаг вперёд. Если мяч остаётся высоким, сохраняйте позицию и защищайтесь снова.

Start with the question you want to answer and the conditions you can't break: time, space, budget, people, the decision you make before you describe the conditions, you have to rework

Start with three checksstop; hold the racket in front of the body and below the expected trajectory; Choose a soft goal in the kitchen or a low center.

Signs of a working solution

Pick one metric that the outsider will see: how many participants have reached, how long it took, how much it cost, how many attempts out of ten have turned out. Feeling "better" is not a test

Checkpoints

  • stop
  • hold the racket in front of the body and below the expected trajectory
  • Choose a soft goal in the kitchen or a low center
  • Only proceed after neutral response
  • The pair maintains close depth and does not break the line

Where results are lost

The player keeps running through the contact, picks up the ball and opens his legs. The second mistake is to try to drive from a low point against opponents by the kitchen. The goal of the zone is to restore neutral exchange, not win the ball with one blow

What to change under different conditions

Every solution has a different level of applicability, a different level of coverage, a different scale of the event, and as you move the approach, change the way you do it, and keep the goal

Практическое продолжение

Начинайте упражнение с пары в середине корта и соперников у кухни. Очко даётся за контролируемый выход вперёд, а не за случайный проходящий удар.

What's important to remember

Determine the next action, the timeframe, and who's in charge. Plan the next step after the first one has the result
