Excellent tip Oscar. I have been teaching 5 year olds to do this even though conventional coaching doesn’t encourage them to follow through. Another great idea I had was to transform the ready position into the ‘ready state’, I get them to press the ‘power button’ on their racket before the other person hits the ball,the power button is a fun sticker I give them to put on the end of their grips, usually their favorite caracter. I will be sending avideo shortly to Lucile showing my 5 year old daughter after 1 year of using your techniques.

Enjoy your daily tips. Maybe for the boys, we can change it to imagining the butt of the racket as the barrel of a gun. They have to aim it after hitting the ball and eventually shoot it as it landed on the court 🙂
