Is it possible to be coached online without ever being on the court with someone? Yes, and I have proof!
Here is what you will need:
1. A Fast wifi provider for speedy uploads and downloads.
2. Patience and discipline to work on your craft and get the videos out to coach in a timely manner.
3. A good cell phone, I pad, I phone, Android, etc. (I possess four apps or platforms I use and now with my new drills loaded up you can take a cell phone on the court and practice the drills on your phone).
4, A great work ethic and ability to practice what is taught.
Recently I added a video analysis only membership to my coaching. This membership not only includes monthly coaching at half price, it also includes over 100 videos of drills and secret sauce! Many of my new students love it!
I often get a comment like how do you coach so many athletes? I love working with athletes of all levels.I train players of all levels, from beginner to pro, to compete against themselves, not others! My athletes learn how to coach themselves during matches. Even if I coach against my own athlete they should be able to play because they know their own weaknesses and strengths! (Game planning is over-rated-adjustments during matches-under-rated!)
In the last year here are some comments I have gotten in emails and texts from my video only athletes(not having been on the court with me).
“My knees do not hurt! This technique works!”
“I am beating people I never used to beat before!”
“My shoulders do not hurt! Thanks coach!”
“Coach, my game has gone up two levels thanks to you!”
This one is my favorite from a young pre-teen lady-“Well Winterton, you did it again! I won the tournament!”
I always reply to that these comments–something like this: “Your hard work makes me look good! Thank you for believing in me!
Back to the “do I need to be on the court thing”. Video and proper rehearsal of skills does work!!
