Coach’s Corner: Dissecting the Works of Coach Tom Parham Volume 2
7 CARDINAL SINS IN DOUBLES
Failing to recognize the weaker player and attacking that person. This can change within a match.
Failing to identify the weaker service return of each player. This too, can change within a match.
Failing to pressure on second serves by moving in and hitting an attacking return.
Failure to attempt a “quality” return. This could be a lob or a chip/slice, but it has to have a plan. Don’t hit wimpy returns. Our team will accept errors of ability but not fear. Go for it. In this competitive environment, players cannot hit shots as if they think they are about to make a mistake.
Our server with the best win percentage serves first in every set. This is not necessarily the player with the best serve.
Not closing in on “floaters” at the net; if you fail at this, you sit in the stands for the next match.
Assuming one service break wins the pro set(8 games), I’ve seen many pro sets lost with the winners being down 7-3.It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
