We followed 2009 National High School Coach of the Year Lawrence Eyre through two extended practice sessions giving you unprecedented access to every conversation, drill, decision and the layout of his practices.
In addition to live practice footage, Coach Eyre delivers `spot on' coaching points and explanations that will enable you to take his ideas and blend them into your own style of coaching.
Over the course of these practice sessions, Eyre focuses on strengthening five key areas in order of importance.
- Consistency and accuracy of strokes and serves (most important)
- Direction and placement
- Depth
- Spin
- Velocity/speed/power (of least importance)
This DVD provides a myriad of drills and coaching points to ensure that each of your players continues to improve in these areas.
Lawrence Eyre has had great success with several generations of high school tennis players. Now you can implement the drills, techniques and coaching tactics that have led to 16 state championships!
219 minutes (2 DVDs). 2011.
All Access videos are designed to allow viewers from all over the world to see how successful coaches run their practices in a "live" practice setting. All Access videos allow viewers to see the practices un-edited and in real-time. You will see how top coaches run their drills, interact with their team and staff, how they motivate their team, the cue words they use, the atmosphere of the practice and how practices are structured from day to day. Many coaches visit successful colleges and high schools to watch practice. But if you live out of state or out of the country, visiting another coach's practice can be costly. That's why we created the All Access Practice Series of videos -- to bring the practices to you!
