After to read some small opinions like,
” Novak is the most reliable player….” (Ex- amazing professional player).
” That is Carlos doing is something like magic…..” ( A pro Player Tennis)
” We want that our players can play like Roger,….. ” ( A tennis Federation…..). …
” It wasn’t the performance that we wanted, but keep going to be mentality more strong ” (Stupids Mental Coach, Sport Psychologists….etc…)
” ” ” ”…………..etc…..
I guess that other ones federations, academies, try to show up something like Novak, Andy…etc….as well, even in a short time ago till hardly everyone or on everywhere pretended to play like RAFA, right now from my namesake the broke the barrier, ooohhh, everyone has to play like CARLITOS….. leaving RAFA in a secondary position, said in other words, look like flock of sheep that we are moving in relation to the communication that are receiving in, said in other words, the consequence that are not able to make filters that let us identify, classify and built an integral base that let us to advance from a sphere much more bigger, healthy and powerful in development, means develop an accumulation of resources that propels us to a unknown field, a stage that will change our level, our limits on and off the court.
*Like small story, observed people who accused me of fanaticism, while mixed up that with the meaning that is to have a VOCATION (a big love to a sport that BROUGHT me back to the LIFE) being them now who engage in behaviours like that to a tennis player that his name is called like mine, CARLITOS and even his game is quite similar than mine, other fact from plenty others to take advantage about my person to make a great TEAM WORK. Is it a funny fact? is it a Karma issue?…. l am lucky that take everything as humour, grab those things that help to built higher than previous instant and learning super faster in. Looking ahead!.
Right now, stop to talk so much and get deep on the interesting areas…. LET’S DO IT GUYS!!!.
Below WILL HAVE TWO POINTS:
1. Technical aspects to be aware.
2. Characteristics of the big 3 + Carlitos. Keys & Abrasions.
3. Conclusion.
1. TECHNICAL ASPECTS TO BE AWARE.
THE POINTS OF IMPACT. I can’t remember the infinite times that my coach through of our uncountable chats (big top requested his services when were desperate – injuries) INSISTED me once behind other about the importance of that point, and as it could involve as over the game as even to the players’s head (obvious on psychological terms as well, observed for myself), because a high level of dependency push easily to uncontrollable severe states of frustrations. On the points of IMPACT is all the QUALITY, CONSISTENCY AND HEALTH of the human and his/her game on.
Behind of that points of impact, there are millions of points where never must lost the focus about them, and then trough of that can adjust small micro-gestures that change everything as innerly as outside on the court, because a simple detail correction could relax to the rest of the body in an unconscious and automatic way without realising about it, however the issue is that will repeat the consequences that don’t want if we are not attacking the conflict point. Remind you!!!, the most important is reaching the SWEET POINT OF IMPACT!. TO PUT OUT YOUR FUCKING RACKET ON!
There is four details to be aware about where our hand (wrist) is placed on but also how is position over it:
- BASELINE stroke. Exit the arm….etc…
- CROSS stroke. A very small turn about..
- AHEAD. Natural and free position, ready to hit our strokes on.
- BEHIND. Simply observe where the head of the racket is, even as other joints are moving or put tension about it (from minimum to maximum…) is enough to realise that our point is behind, that conditions our game, lead to expected injuries, so even someone can be dangerous (chronic) but about all put the player’s head in a point of VULNERABILITY that I wouldn’t recommend ever!!!.
THE TRANSITIONS. If we are able to analyse the body positions that had the TENNIS in old periods, simply go to YouTube and watching in slow motion every small detail from the old years till now…, if you are intelligence enough, will see that on each stage that have gone changing the materials, balls, the surfaces and its environments, sport shoes ( I don’t like that NIKE is doing in relation to the Tennis), the strings but about the evolution of the rackets through of a lower level of teaching, have gone closing the body more and more while in the same time the body is being forced to paint a forth that isn’t viable if talk about health’s terms; basically that was a game from our unconscious side of our brain as when were using wood racket for example, its weights and shape forcing us to move the arm out the body without need to use in excess of the legs, however through of the time to nowadays have been doing it to the inverse which forgot all the rotational movement at one time ( ” EN UN SOLO GIRO “) that involve to the upper side as well and that let to our arms can move out, then in contrast are being witness as from the instinct “comfort” the players make all type of self-corrections providing in the same direction others many injuries on.
Formula: + SPEED + AGGRESSIVENESS but – PHYSICAL FORCE – MUSCLE SPACE – MOVEMENT – AGILITY = INJURIES!!!.
THE BODY HAVE TO BE BIGGER, NEVER REDUCE THEIR EXTENSION, LOOK THE BALANCE BETWEEN BEFORE AND NOW, will see that have a balance and powerful TENNIS to develop on. CARLITOS has teaching to many humans the way to do the things (for me wasn’t new, have been years working hard for that), but still there are not few that understand what and how have to do that, and others lost chances for their fucking egos and comfort on.
I consider firmly, that a TENNIS COACH, independently about that category of TENNIS is working and teaching on, must have that aspects so clear, but if we talk about COMPETITION, must not justly have to be clear all that information if not that also the job with the Physical trainer and physiotherapist must be in order through of plenty of that aspects that happen on court.
LOOSING THE RACKET. THE WRISTS. That I am going to explain you know, is a basic detail that have a higher influence with a serious rebound effect that can delivery to the rest of the body. I am surprise as the tennis, in this case even the British Tennis have a wisdom case with a player (female) that play on court with a small handicap, however at least from my point of view, being an curious human that try to learn from everyone and all the things to keep updating each small detail or even justly to refresh concepts, I saw it as an authentic TENNIS coaching gift, basically for small reasons that my own feelings have been able to take advantage about it, after to delivery that wisdom to others players or even the own players be able to include on their games with a tool that get free of body tension and can place in a better position to create forth and reaction on, faster on reflects. Well, I am talking about the fingers’ hands, its positions and the own spaces of movement that must have on each instant. MUST BE CONSCIOUS ABOUT THAT IS HAPPENING THERE!.
Points to be aware about:
- Loosing.. I lose the fingers because keep a very flexible wrist while use all the natural body force.
- Fatigue of the fingers. The tendons can’t resist anymore, there are a high apprehension and a blocking of the blood circulation, that is probably that spreads to other areas, but the first thing that will do us is that our map of concentration will be interrupted while in the same time reduce our levels of attention – retention…
- Colocation – position in coordination with our wrists….. consciousness and inertia of the movements, as is predictable that can grab other consequences psychical that we don’t wish to have in…
Remind, BAD POSITIONS = Terrible and unconscious self-corrections with other parts of our body, then after will start our complains or even desperate searching of some type of magic through of physiotherapist, physical trainer,… however after go to the court and keep doing the same thing, so it will be question of time to come back again to the same point or even worst. Creating IRRADIATIONS, CAREFUL!. Avoid that project to the other sides, and also that stop to create weakness in our game on.
THE PHYSICAL ROTATION AND ITS LEVEL OF ACCURACY. About that detail have to make difference between both genres by genetic reasons:
*In a post, about a month or two months ago, I explained a concept that I called the COMPASS. Keep that line but getting deeper on it. Also leave the subject to physical trainers or physiotherapist,.. but focus to influences in the technical teachings on, basically is so important to be aware about all that as TENNIS COACH, after know and what information need to transmit as the physical trainer as to the physiotherapist to optimise an peak of performance ” unexpectedly ” on.
FEMALES. Their body balance is bigger, it let them to get more base of attachment (Anclaje), have a lot of benefits about all in sports that keep a line of action, however that is not the case of TENNIS, where we move and stop constantly, means that there are not an fixed personal RHYTHM, for that reason that can learn and listen where are our PACING would be very helpful to the unlimited positions that can place on; also their physical force is lower and even some particular muscle has a shape and extension a little different than males, it means that their drawing of the rotational movement of their bodies have to be more wide and longer to create a similar force on. Which are the technical consequences of that small genetic differences?:
- Accuracy on the first steps on. It is so important that have a higher and wide precision in the exit to the ball, doesn’t matter which type of strokes they are doing, need to develop a good size steps on to don’t give spaces to the opponent but also need it to coordinate their spaces with their own strokes (ball) but even with the location spacial of the court. That is essential that is so clear in the coach and players minds on, basically if are not watching that, the abrasive consequences (knees, some tendons, lower back….),. that could have in the players is really important. Lately saw it as over professionals as juniors one.
- Up the Body. Need to elevate more and even on circle than a man would do it, basically the men have much more power in their levels and can resist down much more or use the abdominal force or their bigger occupation of the spaces to correct some attacks to the ball, the women is usual the manage all the complete rotation on. ” A woman that use heels, must know it, through to where is going the body weight or as place it after on court to gain more efficiency…, is quite similar, the same that a classic dancer would do on…”
- The wrists. Apart of the plenty details explained along of that article, in reference to the women need to sign out an relevant detail, if block the wrists through of a very aggressive holding of the racket, won’t just be correcting it with other parts of body, honestly will be losing any change to create force on, besides can push them a big explosion on their bodies, because must be aware that their wrists are smaller if beside add the context that need to generate more force and a wide compass of movement, then are theirselves in a very unconscious way put on other issue that mustn’t exist on, then is better that switch off the light and go out through of that have already commented and the pain that would be doing to theirselves.
Obviously, that have several examples in relation to to that have tried to explain, some are already retired players (Spanish, British, Belgium, American…etc..) or plenty others still playing, as professionals as juniors (Spanish, British, Polish,…etc…), where is frequent to push the focus on what have to built a strong legs muscles…etc.., however insist to built more and more muscles without making any technical corrections while keep doing the same thing on court, is useless as are not using the muscles at all, basically are weigh death and an Ocean of frustrations, like that as in other cases is that the technique is not being worked well or simply don’t have any idea as could improve on and off the court, then here would be to get inside of swampy slope where want to get upset about it.
MALES. About the men, will be shorter on my explanations, well, as have said previously, have more force, don’t need to make all a wide track to hit the ball (” Palanca de Golpeo “) although their point of balance is being higher which can lost coordination (need to work more about it), said in other words on reference to the TENNIS, the strong twist that can use to balance the body to ball counteract the possible lost of balances on, however to execute it in a properly way, need to avoid to cut the muscles while let that have the necessary mobility during the movement, the issue come when block and with the highest level of apprehension that many times are doing about them, unconsciously when mustn’t be like that, through of the powerful force that have, then to unlike women where the articulation (joint) would be blocked, in the men would be retained, where the pressure about it is too much in actions too repetitive as the TENNIS is by itself.
” In the TENNIS frequently is most important that are doing between intervals of the matches (previous, game, set, after) that even over same moment of being play on “ basically it is as said previously the tennis is not as the cycling or the swimming, or the ice skating,….etc that follow a Rhythm and after add your pacing on, usually have a lot of breaks, in nowadays it is more as the players are not ready on mentality about it, nor the techniques are playing on favour of getting a level of consciousness that let hem to enjoy much more on court as honestly it should be. (In some way, I shuffle off responsibility to the coaches and those in relation with the psychology that play with their emotions and dreams on…).
VOLATILITY OF THE FEET.... common point for both FEMALES & MALES, but in women will more indispensable as have a more grip against the floor, the men can succumb in the habit of grabbing theirselves in their explosive force, but is necessary to dance on the court.
Actual top ladies and some specific schools, are playing in a direction with two ways, either are grabbing a curve abdominal more aggressive or the other one are making steps much wide (exit), those that usually listen to say, someone are playing very close like some males usually do on court, similar but no the same, because as depends a lot about that steps, when the brain acceleration go over the body, changing their RHYTHMS and interfering in the types of pacing to take on, is when getting hinder by theirselves which lost the ability to identify that is happening and as can come back or go over it to develop a constant level of performance without getting damage by theirselves, means avoid an bounce effect on some types of injuries. A TENNIS COACH must be so sharpest to detect the minimum detail and don’t push to the players to a mental game that is not fair apart from coming excessively dangerous on.
2. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BIG 3 + CARLITOS. KEYS & ABRASIONS.
Insist!!!! if you want to know a little bit more about that four guys, invite you that read some article that wrote on that same website just after Wimbledon 2023 (THE NEW SPANISH, KING OF THE TENNIS. THE SPECIFICATIONS), look and read.
Below will leave a few guides about each one of them in response to all that POPULAR affirmations that have committed in the beginning of the article, and the connection with the rest of small technical details that have explained along of that article. Hope that it is being useful for you. Thank you.
FEDERER… His abrupt changes of position that even made on him to lost his own identity to adapt other rivalries honestly in some way was lack of sense, if talked about the body manage, on special drawn an high changes of speeds, but I am not refereeing to the ball’s speed, if not just focus in the movement’s speeds that are decisive in terms of mobility and consistency to the ball (Iga, think is struggle with something similar… or try to do something like that in a Kitchen, will see where your fingers are going to finish on).
RAFA… Honestly, it was squeezed to the limit, conscious or unconsciously, ask that do myself if there was reality over the table or simply on purpose seeking outcomes over profitability thinking on long terms; a high risk, but at then end, as is always saying, was constantly giving himself more and more chances to go on while keep a level that not usually went lower, commitment.
NOVAK… Have always said the importance to take Rhythm and after go out to grab a Pacing – dynamic that can keep, much more in a sport as the TENNIS in difference to other sports as said previously above; well, it is that Novak, make usually so well, although sometimes grab a little dependency, then that and other factors open on him small areas of confusion that pushing him realising all his energy on, which in some moments that is dangerous, but besides it blocks his mobility, although others come from the own positions, that change it and his body still respond much better than now.
CARLITOS… It is a technique that have recovered small details from the past and updating to the nowadays (Similar than me that I work from long time ago), however through of all that differences and small technical details between men and women that have been commenting on that article, till that aggressive pressure of force that a man is able to do, besides to bring it to high speeds of movement, Carlitos, must adjust about own dynamic, point of identity and step by step go up over it, doing it, will be much more dangerous, leaving the vulnerability as strong weapon instead of pointless area of weakness, as to the opponent as to himself (body – brain – stress).
3. CONCLUSION.
That article was written to show out to all Tennis Coaches, Players or other people in relation with the TENNIS, included institutions of all type of class, that the work of building and development of a Tennis Player, must never be based about that others were or still are doing on and off the court, because that we have a reference, that is ok, there are not problem with that, the issue is coming when are copying the details without realising that we are human beings, that means that are imperfect living beings, so in any manner must have own criteria, identity in benefit to bring out a great response as in performance as about high healthy reaction of our own brain – body.
So, when listened expressions as have to play as Roger or Rafa, Novak…etc or that player driving me crazy, love him, careful with that are mixing up a teaching that must be professional with a fanaticism that is not going to anywhere beyond to destroy to our players or generations without offering the tools that need to compete in accuracy on; as also the sharpest fact that our analysis about our players as if it is coming in terms COACHING side as of course from a PERFORMANCE point, mustn’t base it in an unique point or about small statistics datas, the information is really wider than we are thinking about, and for sure on many of times are contaminated it with our own unconscious judgements (typical from a point of psychological knowledge), so pay attention and listening would have much more sense on.
Remind you, if a set can have 12 games plus a tie break, means that there are an average of 85 points by set as minimum, so it is impossible to judge someone for an simple instant as we doing from many departments, when we don’t know their stories, that could have or don’t have on their heads not even the job or jobs that have done during the day or as could be their bodies that days, although if have a very strong and development head – brain, can push everything to the limits as times as they want, always there was small details that could need a brief type of recovering on, so change our glasses, don’t lost in our own mind stories and be honesty enough with ourselves, will benefit to the powerful job that could bring out with our PLAYERS (HUMAN BEINGS at the end).
Finish with a last message, mental coach, psychologist,…but also to TENNIS COACHES if there are pieces of the technique that are no right at all, and don’t have enough idea about TENNIS or even Sports, means develop a high MATURITY with variety of visual points closest to the emotional intelligence that let to observe wide perspectives about the context, then, please, are not playing with the MIND – BRAIN of the players, painting about them a self-deception, once behind other, through of up and downs so vertical that are really dangerous, so please CONGRUENCE and if you don’t have idea, is better to ask others than keep pissing off to the HUMANS and their dreams. Thank you very much.
” The reliability is coming from placing every small millions of points that have technical in coordination with most healthier answer from the body, it just happen if come out from a conscious point, seek it is easier but other thing is, do we really want to get it? “.
” The limits are in the head of oneself, so probably isn’t in yours, just in the human who has in front of you, so be conscious from where is coming up and don’t let that it bring oneself down “.
ALWAYS SIMPLE TENNIS!!!
ALWAYS PURE TENNIS!!!
