I am taking a little time off from coaching tennis to spend with my family.  However, once I get back I will continue with private lessons through the fall.  It worked extremely well this summer given the current situation and allows me more flexibility right now.  Once we get closer to the winter I’ll re-evaluate doing clinics once again.  If you are interested please email me info@alexslezak.com.

I have spent more hours than I care to count developing strokes, studying technique and using video to enhance skill acquisition. The difference between good and elite technique is often small and takes a deep understanding of biomechanics. All elite groundstrokes and serves have the same fundamentals for power production, use of elastic energy and spin maximization. Although it may look like professional players at the top of the game have different mechanics they are all fundamentally the same. The way the human body (joints, muscles and nervous system) assemble a movement pattern makes it as unique to an individual as their DNA but the fundamentals remain the same.

The technology in our phones have made what was once impossible to see with the human eye as simple as using the slow motion function. With the knowledge it is now easier than ever to analyze technique, identify limiting factors and objectively measure improvement over time. The visual learning style also allows players to “see themselves” instead of only being able to “feel” what they are doing on the court.

If you are interested in video analysis please contact me via email info@alexslezak.com for more information.
