Tip of the day
In today’s video, Jordan Briones shares valuable insights for players looking to improve their game.
He introduces four pillars crucial for player development:
Fitness (including movement, footwork, and positioning)
Fundamentals (like dinks, volleys, drops, and technique)
Shot Selection and Strategy (choosing the right shot at the right time and adapting strategies based on strengths and weaknesses)
Mindset (the mental aspect of the game).
Jordan emphasizes the importance of self-assessment in these areas, suggesting players rate themselves on a scale of 1 to 10 for each pillar.
He also offers three actionable steps for improvement:
Being honest about the time you’re dedicating to practice
Filming oneself to identify areas for improvement
Finding a good coach who has experience and a commitment to learning.
Key Points:
