I believe the way we look at the serve needs to change. It’s unlike any other shot because it’s the only one fully under your control. That’s why it needs to be studied with greater attention – not just from a technical and tactical point of view, but also through the physical, mental, and precision aspects that define true mastery.
To bring even more depth and precision to my work, I’ve surrounded myself with some of the best experts in these areas. I regularly consult with them to sharpen my methods and deepen my understanding of each element that makes the serve motion complete. You can read more about them in the sections below.
