Excellent teaching! Other instructors don’t give enough attention to rotation and tilt. You covered it beautifully!

Fantastic improvement in position. She is a quick learner for sure.

I think a big part of pre-hitting warmup every time should be really stretching the muscles involved in the rotation used in the serive (or overhead)

Regarding "do not rely on feel" - if I have to pinpoint a single biggest contributor to improvements in my technique, that was overcoming the cringe of watching myself recorded on camera :-) Personal perception and actual mechanics could be insanely disconnected and the only way to see the problem and address it is recording. I've gotten frustrated many times by coach(es) telling me to do something I thought I'd been doing (and right) already :-)<br>BTW going well over my head commenting this but I couldn't not notice Chelsea's racquet orientation (pre)trophy pose - like she is just about to perform a spectacular "pan strike", however, she somehow manages to switch the orientation along the way and start leading with the edge eventually (as much as I can tell without slo-mo footage). <br><br>Cheers to both of you, I missed these coaching sessions!

Thanks for the video! For those with a platform stance, are there any differences in how power should be generated, or what drills can be practiced?

Wow. I’d forgotten about letting the hip move into the court. When you showed a side view of Chelsea doing it, I also saw her achieve momentum and balance. Details matter. Thank you
