I played errorless seasons as a baseball centerfielder before developing ball-tracking problems. After switching to tennis, 10 or so v.g. in-person coaches could only get me so far with technique. Brice, online, is the first coach to help with my main problem. Until you've experienced loss of cognitive ability, you cannot know what it feels like.
I seriously just dont understand where all this is coming from. This seems to be some hype that insists “neuro tennis” is a thing. Firstly why the focus on older players. This is such a ridiculous categorisation and frankly insulting and ageist. What age are we talking about here. Secondly step onto a tennis court almost anywhere in the world and general fitness and a general lack of proper technique will be the issue. I have never seen anyone with a tracking issues just obvious misunderstanding of the basic biomechanics usually because they have had poor coaching. This channel seems earnestly invested in this brain training angle but it simply doesn’t figure in any comprehensive overview of the sport science of tennis or any other sport as far as I can see. It may be a thing through brain injury but this just isn’t the issue that older players or anyone else is experiencing unless this is focusing on the senile. Just complete nonsense.
The vast majority of neuroscience and the science of neuroplasticity would disagree with you. The focus on older players is relevant because our cognitive abilities and neurological systems decline with age. That isn’t ageist. It is fact. You “[not understanding] where all this is coming from” is an argument from incredulity and therefore a logical fallacy. How exactly do you see or not see a tracking issue? I have coached HS players and it is always amazing to me how some students with no technique are just gifted at coordination, timing, and ball tracking. Technique is great, but if you can’t track the ball and don’t having the coordination and timing to execute good biomechanics, you will struggle. Why are you critical of Richard? He is giving of his time to help people improve in an area many don’t give attention to. Most tennis channels are about gear or technique with titles like “5 steps for a perfect forehand.” Thanks Richard! I’m sorry that you have to put up with internet trolls.
@@mjfolkerts I am well aware of neuroplasticity. I am drawing attention to the fact that this is a complete and utter red herring when dealing with 99% of recreational players. I am suspicious why this channel puts emphasis on older players and particularly on brain training. With respect to older players, being no different to most recreational sports, issues of basic mobility may be much more common but in tennis, poor basic technique trumps all of these marginal issues when seeing 99% of players and it is this basic lack of understanding of the physics involved in sport especially racket and ball sports that usually stops people progressing and enjoying the game more. This focus on the brain makes no sense to me given this observation and its focus seems suspiciously disproportionate to the point of being misleading disinformation. It purports to be a solution to a problem that doesn't exist, in the face of obvious issues that almost everyone experiences when trying to redirect a moving object using a rigid extension of their arm. I really do not understand how these comments equate to "trolling?" Disagreeing and making a very simple point is hardly a cause for such a ridiculous misuse of the word.
@@KenFlanagan A Red Herring is a piece of information that is intended to be misleading or distracting. Richard’s information is not misleading nor distracting and I highly doubt that he has any intention to be so. Therefore calling it a Red Herring could be considered a “ridiculous misuse” of the words. Consider this: You want to help others with improving their tennis. There are a lot of tennis channels. Many propose to help you with mobility, technique and biomechanics, but how much of that can the average person learn by watching a video or a hundred. Many people would need in person training with drills and even video analysis. However, you have had some experience with brain based learning and visuals systems. The content that you can offer is fairly unique in the TH-cam world and can be learned and practiced at home solo in most cases. Seems like a no brainer to me. I have watched many of Richards videos and I believe they have help me improve my tennis. I appreciate what he does and the time he takes to do it. He also has a variety of technique and biomechanics videos on his channel. If you want to watch those, then go ahead. Please spare us the nonsense of your unnecessary comments leveling accusation of intentionally misleading and distracting us, accusations of being ageist, or assertions that this stuff is of marginal value and doesn’t need to be worked on to improve. We will all await your superior TH-cam content while on the edge of our seats (ridiculous levels of sarcasm).
@@mjfolkerts I am sure that you can google definitions but a red herring doesn't explicitly require intention. Maybe you are not English and have a different definition or nuanced use of the phrase. As for your sarcasm, I would suggest that it isn't really necessary for you to point out when you are trying to be sarcastic and in this case I would agree with Oscar Wilde but only partially.
1:53 PM Great video on a highly overlooked and important area. However, The second exercise seems as if you just Linking the neck and the arm together, not really engaging the visual system. What am I missing?

Precise and very helpful.

As a senior player his advice has been very useful to me. There are many other tennis channels for you out there.
