Focus on consistency, control, and proper technique with easy balls in drills, mirroring the reliable speed you trust in matches, rather than just hitting hard or practicing shots you don't use under pressure.
The coach in this lesson gives some really good advice about how you should approach your practice sessions. He talks about making the most of the time with your coach by focusing on fundamentals like technique and consistency. It's easy to just hit hard when the ball is easy, but the coach explains why that doesn't help you improve the way you play matches. Prioritizing control and consistency is key, especially at the recreational level where keeping the ball in play often wins points. This perspective can really change how you think about your training.
