MY TEACHING METHOD

THE COMMON THREAD METHODOLGY

The CTM is a teaching method based on focusing primarily on the fundamentals of the game. Mastering the basic fundamentals is at the core of the Common Threads Methodology. The CTM points out the common fundamentals or “threads” used by the best players in the world. The CTM does not focus on the form or style of the best players in the world, but rather on the common fundamentals of each stroke performed by the best players in the world. Unlocking students full potentials would be impossible without the proper basic fundamentals. Too often players are incapable of reaching a higher level of play not because of their lack of talent or athleticism but more because of fundamental flaws. Not acquiring and understanding the basic fundamentals will put students at a significant disadvantage to become an advanced tennis player. Those basic fundamentals are the blue prints to each and everyone of every student’s own perfect swing. Using the CTM will accelerate the learning process for players of every levels at a much faster rate because it teaches tennis the natural way. The CTM teaches students an advance foundation platform that will never have to be undone.
If you accept, understand and duplicate these basic Common Threads, you will never need to change them as your tennis game grows. There is a very good reason why all Professionals use the same basic fundamentals to hit a ball: because they figured out the easiest way to do it so if  it’s good enough for them it’s good enough for you!
