At the recent USPTA World Conference, I heard you speak on the biomechanics of tennis. During the presentation, you showed a video and briefly mentioned the crossover step in serving versus when the front foot comes in first. Could you explain what happens mechanically in these two movements?

Saul Mendoza, Master Professional, answers the question, “I’ve heard you discuss the biomechanics of tennis and going back to basics. With that in mind, would it be possible in your column to give a brief synopsis of the laws of motion and provide a couple of examples of how they work in our sport?”

Master Professional Saul Mendoza answers the question, “Can you tell my why the laws of momentum aren’t discussed more? All I ever hear about is acceleration, and I’m not convinced it is even a factor. I mean, if my racquet is traveling at 20 mph, it is going to exert a force on the tennis ball, and if the velocity of the racquet head is 40 mph, it will exert more force. Can you help me understand this?”

Several members of my club believe that achieving high-level performance in tennis requires using a lighter racquet and a smaller grip. I am aware that there has been extensive discussion on this topic (including a partial mention in one of your recent columns), but could you kindly provide further insight into this specific matter?"

Understanding how people learn differently is a crucial aspect of teaching, and it's great to see that you're eager to learn more about it. One way to get started is by familiarizing yourself with the three primary learning styles: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic.

Visual learners process information best through images and videos, auditory learners through sound and music, and kinesthetic learners through movement and touch. By observing how your students react to different teaching methods, you can determine their learning style and tailor your approach accordingly.

It's also important to remember that every student is unique and may have a combination of learning styles, so being flexible in your approach is key. By incorporating different teaching methods into your lessons, you can cater to a variety of learning styles and help your students succeed.

I hope this sheds some light on the topic for you, and best of luck with your teaching career!
