Benoit Foucher

This shows a session made with one of the players I had the honor to coach.
The goal is to help him being faster on the tennis court, using athletic drills.

From this video, we’ve looked at some points of observation:

– posture: not leaning back, not with shoulders rolling forward either
– relaxing shoulders
– placing the feet under the pelvis, not too much in front
– using the foot, “armed” before landing vs tensing

May this inspire you to look at the details and how you can improve too!

This is an extract example of what Pavel Tsatsouline taught us in his Strong Endurance seminar.
Really good for intermittent sports like tennis.
Please note Arthur s technique for swings is not perfect, so we ll need to polish this otherwise there would be risk for injuries (most likely low back and maybe his neck as well).
And ideally we would have a kettlebell that corresponds to each of us’s strength.
Enjoy!

A video to give Augustin a visual about what he can do better in his footwork. Back in 2011.
What you can see:
– difficulty to move from the balls of the feet
– split step not at the right moment
– running technique to improve.
