D3C Tennis: Enjoy the Game
The D3C Ideal Client
You're new to tennis or haven’t played for a while and want to learn or re-learn correctly, without feeling overwhelmed.
You've played before but struggle with consistency, making matches frustrating.
You want clear, structured guidance that helps you improve quickly, not just endless drills.
You're looking for a coach who understands how to build a solid foundation for lasting success.
Put your attention On the Ball
It seems like a given, but most players pay more attention to thought, not the actual ball. Attention to the ball is the first step to accomplishing hitting expectation.
Position Your Racket
The racket face dictates where the ball goes. Another ‘given’ that follows where attention is placed. Many focus on ‘grip’ rather than racket position. An important difference when handling a non-cooperating bal.
Create Bounce
The ball is honest—it reflects what you give it. The ball will honestly go where you tell it. But what are you communicating with, the racket or expectation? The ball will always show you what you have told it.
