A drill to improve footwork, groundstroke skills, executive functions and more. Using implicit learning. Developed by Frercks Hartwig and Chris Köhler.
In our view, for successful competitors it makes a difference, if we work in practice with explicit technical instructions or whether we „develop“ a suitable technique with the player on implicit tasks!
So far we have drawn attention to the benefits of individual and creative problem solving and the sustainability of a player on implicit technology development.
In our view, there is a more significant difference, which speaks for the implicit method. In the explicit teaching methodology the player learns the technique of a stroke from the perspective of the coach (and out of textbooks), which is connected to certain predetermined sequences (backswing, impact movement, movement to the ball, ….). Surely, there are more open and closer interpretations by explicitly working coaches. The psychological consequences of explicit learning weiterlesen
This is an INNER COACHING DRILL to develop and improve long strokes and the topspin.
Theoretical background: Differencial and implicit learning by changing frames and general conditions, setting an external focus to develop and improve the topspin.
Procedure: Place mini-nets in the court. Players have to hit the balls over the mini-nets.
Manchmal hat man als Coach ja so seine Schlüsselerlebnisse, die einen dann in der praktizierten Trainingsphilosophie bestärken. Ein solches Erlebnis hatte ich vergangene Woche in einer Trainingsgruppe mit 12-13 jährigen Kindern, die etwa ein Jahr Tennis spielen und die ich für das Wintertraining von einem Kollegen einer anderen Tennisschule übernommen habe.
In einer differenziellen Trainingseinheit zur Verbesserung der Vorhand und des Inside-out-Spiels im Doppel habe ich einem Mädchen, nennen wir sie Fabienne, Bälle aus kurzer Distanz zugeworfen, die sie mit der Vorhand aus der Rückhand-Ecke in das gegenüberliegende Doppelfeld spielen soll (inside-out).

Louis Cayer is one of the Double Coaching Gurus in the world. This presentation is from the 2015 LTA Coaches’ Conference at the National Tennis Centre in London, England. This is an on-court presentation by Louis Cayer and Simon Wheatley Helped by Neal and Ken Skupski, giving clarity and awareness to tactical framework and an emphasis on net play. This presentation showcases a number of drills that work neutral, offensive and defensive skills. Some of the drills are implicit and especially the drills starting at 30′ are differencial (standing on one feet, standing with crossed legs,….)
„Constraints led coaching“ ist das, was wir im Inner Coaching (TMS) unter Veränderung der Rahmenbedingungen verstehen. Durch Veränderung des Materials, des Umfelds, der Spielfeldgrößen, der Regeln, usw.. Im constraint led coaching gibt es drei veränderbare Faktoren: individual, task, environment.
Das Lernen unter und durch veränderte Rahmenbedingungen verläuft spielerisch und implicit und vertraut auf die Selbst(neu)organisationsfähigkeit des Systems (Athlet/Team). In dieser Methodik werden Bewegungseinschränkungen gesetzt. Diese führen zu einer Erweiterung des Bewegungsspielraums in Technik und Taktik.
This is an article from the ITF Coaching and Sport Science Review from 2013 by Buszard/Reid/Farrow/Masters. You find a lot of informations about implicit motor learning in tennis and how to use it in tennis coaching.
How I would like to be there and listen to all those sportsmen and experts of motor learning. May be another day…
Trevor Ragan gave me the chance to ask some questions, that could be answered at the conference! This are my questions:
This one goes in the same direction:
