Teaching technique – small supplement/ additive to PTR method
- various types of SM “secret” exercises, their order and
intervals… - feedback cocktail – augmented and haptic, where we use our SM teaching aids.
Like this we create so called muscle memory (the road between brain and muscle …) - loving, it’s elegance and simplicity obeying the strict laws of methodics, physiology and bio-mechanics;
- “SM tennis brain mapping”: How to remember easiest?!
Master one skill at a time! Our neurophysiology works this way fastest possible time (good for impatient players/learners)
to learn and retain motor skill – that neuro-physiology would allow; - specially designed teaching aids to take care most dangerous mistakes, plus they assis teachers for the life-time (beginner
group lessons); - more than 35 years of playing, 25 years of teaching tennis and researching as a sport professor.
Accelerated tennis motor skill learning
There are no exceptions, anybody can relearn good biomechanics, as far their motor-skills and coordination are ok.
Convenience is that for your learning and practicing – tennis court is not needed, only on the very end of the course.
So, practice at home is “life saver”. “Tune up tennis program” is made of biomechanic exercises that can, with 100% certainty “cure”
any high competition or intermediate recreational groundstroke in 3 lessons/days – longest.
Usually a tiny mistake can horribly slow down someone’s improvement!
Short-cut secret in learning and teaching
Students learn in a variety of ways: by seeing and hearing, working alone and in groups, reasoning logically and intuitively, memorizing and visualizing and modeling. Teaching methods also vary: some instructors lecture, others demonstrate or discuss; some focus on principles and others on applications; some emphasize memory and others understanding. How much students learn in a class depends among other things on the match between their learning style preferences and the instructor’s teaching style. Our technique is a supplement, like an additive to your way of teaching that very quickly softens the movement and makes it graceful, elegant& effortless – beautiful !
There are many kinds of groundstrokes and we, during our “1st basic 7 day course, work on one “classic” forehand and one backhand. All groundstrokes (backhands and forehands: spin, slice, flat, drive volleys, …) have one mutual mechanism that we teach. We learn it through carefully set – 3 day program (not for beginners!). If we evaluate one’s technique with marks from 2 to 5 (beginners are “1″), Mili’s set of exercises will:
- Bring the technique (one of groundstrokes) to the level of 5 in 3 days maximum (hitting “easier” balls 1st couple of weeks)
- Accelerate learning time, far over 50 times – to reach technical level of 5 !
- Prevent “usual, classic errors” to appear,
- “Soften” our arms and whole motion in general to be smooth and liquid.
- Tune up the mechanism Arm – Wrist – Balance
- Create easier “robotic” repeating, same correct motion with the almost same tempo
- Increase power using “whip effect”
This very fast teaching/correcting technique is a result of synergy between the laws of neuro-physiology, bio-mechanics and methodology … yes, and my modest 30 years of playing and coaching experience
Mili Split method’s secret”(ground strokes only) is all about:
Total beginners after our “Basic” 1 or 2 week course – will have Backhand and
Forehand technique for top grade of “5″. But he/she will be hitting totally still balls, on the end of the course. They usually can’t always hit classical thrown teacher’s ball, because of the perception. Some of the beginners can (previous sport history…).
Intermediate players are the far biggest group with 90% of all people playing tennis. Their technique are in the range between 2 and 4. They don’t miss thrown balls and they are often at least one year into tennis. They take lessons or self tough. Even if somebody has been playing tennis with “not excellent technique”, for a 2, 5, 10, 20 or even 30 years, with this program of exercises, all the groundstrokes can be fixed, improved up to the grade of 5, after 3 days and 3 nights per a stroke – longest! It means that on the 4th day technique of that single stroke must be “5″.
Advanced players have groundstrokes’ technique above “4″, meaning that they have 1, 2 or 3 constant errors per What does it mean, exactly? Lets say we asses one’s technique (read: bio-mechanic) from 2 to 5. Total beginners are “1″. Grade “five” means no technical mistakes.
Usually it takes at least one year of playing to pass beginner faze. So, we are talking about advanced and intermediate levels, for beginners it
will take only about one week more, per a stroke.
1st part of the course1 - tennis fitness
Level 5 of 5(rating technique from 1-5)
- returning easier “teacher’s ball” in series of 5 (for the beginning)
- total balans transfer control – after stronger hit, you will stay still
- total understanding and awareness of what where when and why certain part of body is doing
- you will not need power to hit far and strong
- precision will be improved drastically, too
- movements will be smoother and will look really ellegant
- strokes and moves will be healthy ie injury free etc
- your self esteam and confidence will burst!
- VERY FAST AND SIMPLE TRANSITION TO COMPETITION LEVEL OF PLAYING – HITTING BALLS IN RISING !
