Styrling Strother Interview: Transforming the Practice Court for Doubles

Styrling Strother is an innovative tennis coach who trains junior players and adults to transform the way they practice and think about the match court. He is a Tennis Performance Trainer (TPT) with the International Tennis Performance Association (ITPA), a PTR Professional Coach, a best-selling author, and the founder of Styrling Strother Tennis, a player development program located in Cary, North Carolina. This episode will totally shift your practice habits, and inject fun into your doubles matches. Styrling shares some transformational ideas with me in this episode. Why you should NOT look at the ball after you hit. A new way to think about the game score that helps you maintain focus and concentration (Momentum Scoring System). Innovative doubles drills that will better help you win matches. What you should be thinking when you make an error. Why opponent-based thinking is the #1 thing to learn for tennis players (and why it's so hard). We also discuss his new book, The Art of Winning Tennis , which offers strategies that change the way you see the court. I'm about halfway done with the book and it's already got me thinking about adjustments for my next match. As we dissect the traditional practice court paradigm, you'll discover why it's critical to move beyond technique to the strategic 'where, when, and why' of each shot. You'll learn to embrace the pressure of in-match scenarios through our in-depth analysis of scoring and drill modifications that mimic match conditions.
