Coach Eisenhauer Training Reference

The one-page reference: training flow, key techniques, scoring, match play basics, and USTA rating guidelines.

Print it, tape it in your bag

Every player Don works with gets this sheet. It covers the full training flow — warm up, short court, volleys, baseline — plus the technique checkpoints we return to every single lesson.

Serve: high toss, bent knees, accelerate up and through, no foot fault.

Forehand: swing at 3 o'clock, contact out front, hear the ping.

Backhand: swing at 9 o'clock, drive through the ball.

Footwork: ready position, split step.

Body: turn the shoulders, use your core and legs.

Court wisdom

Down the middle solves the riddle.
Head high, let it fly.
Serve a spinner for dinner.
