Everything You Need To Know About The Split Step - What, When, Why

In this lesson, I cover the most crucial part of your footwork and that is the split step.
The split step is such a key fundamental as it should happen before all our shots. This is what we see from the pros that allows them to move around the court as they do.
I break down the mechanics of the split step, the timing (which is everything) and why it is essential we add it to our movement.
By following the principles of the split step from this video you will become a more proactive mover on the court, able to react faster and move explosively in any direction so you are no longer late to the ball.

It's one thing to walk on water 👼 quite another to walk on lava! 🌋🔥 haha 😅 Your amazing Coach! I love it!! Happy feet 👣 is old but gold saying, that I still like to tell myself, of course you have to know when to move and where, and this video does a incredible job of teaching exactly that! I'm not trying to add to your lesson Coach Patrick haha! I hope you have a wonderful day Coach I hope you have passionate students today that really listen to you and if you're working with kids I hope they stay off their phones and the parents sit quietly and let you do the teaching! lol you can tell I talk to tennis coaches everyday! 😉 Respect my friend 👍🙋‍♂️🙏

Yes absolutely Nathan though I'm sure that one guy could have done it! Thanks as always for the kind words. I'm very fortunate that most players I work with love tennis and really want to learn. No phones allowed and parents are off the court where at all possible. Otherwise can be very frustrating as a tennis coach!
