Can’t Make It to Orlando for a 1on1 with Pat?
Although many players want to have Pat assess their tennis skills, not everyone can find time to travel to Orlando to work with Pat. Consequently, Pat has developed a new program we call EEvaluation that is designed to help those players benefit from his expertise & experience to take their game to the next level, too.
The EEvaluation program resulted from Pat’s recent work with some NCAA Division I tennis teams where he created a long-distance assessment procedure that allowed him to:
- Evaluate each team member’s unique strengths & weaknesses in the areas of fitness and on-court movement, and
- Suggest drills & exercises for each player to get started on their personal training regimen.
And now players around the world can get a personally EEvaluated by Pat himself using those same proven methods. How?
To enable Pat to analyze a player’s game, he needs to receive his/her results from a series of 8-12 tests detailed below, as well as VIDEO of a recent match. You can click on each of the Tests to watch Pat demonstrate what is involved.
BE SURE TO VIDEO TAPE ALL TESTS, AS WELL AS A COMPLETE TENNIS MATCH. And when video taping your player, be sure your video shows the player’s entire body, but the view shouldn’t be so wide that it results in a situation where the player is too small in the picture and Pat can’t see sufficient detail of his or her technique to properly evaluate the tested activity. Use Tests 1-3 as examples.
