High School Tennis Coaching Resources

There's a number of different places I go to learn a little bit more about tennis.  I have a couple youtube channels that I often check when I've been asked a question I couldn't answer or just want to expand my knowledge base.  There are some listed below and I will likely add to this list when I come across new, good ones - or remember other ones:

1. Jeff Salzenstein - This is probably my favorite.  Succinct lessons with easy to remember cues and breakdowns: Tennis Coach TV

He also has a separate website, it's a little clunky and I haven't completely delved into it, but probably worth checking out: jeffsalzensteintennis.com

2. Tommy Tran - along with your racket, you'll probably want to grab a bowl of popcorn.  These videos are LONG, but thorough.  If you've got the time and drive to learn the entirety of something, this the guy to go to: Tommy Tran

3. Essential Tennis - Another good youtuber with a mission to help tennis players improve their game.  He does a good job of using different visuals and some slow motion video to teach.  Easy to watch and easy to learn: Essential Tennis


Additionally, here is a little playlist of footwork drills I compiled a while back.  A source of some good ideas to help your players move a little better: Tennis Footwork
