Focusing on rallying is key because it simulates real game situations, forcing you to adapt technique and movement to unpredictable ball types and positions, unlike static drills.
This explains why just practicing strokes isn't enough. The coach highlights that rallying is the best way to improve because it makes you adapt your technique to unpredictable situations just like in a real match. It teaches you to adjust your feet and maintain balance while hitting the ball. Focusing on keeping the ball alive for periods of time rather than just counting shots helps build consistency and match fitness. This is very useful if you want to apply your technique effectively under pressure.
