Are these 10 common mistakes holding your tennis game back? 🎾
In today’s video, I break down the biggest errors I see intermediate players make—and how to fix each one quickly and safely.
💪🏽 Knowledge is power—and knowing what you’re actually doing on the court is the fastest path to getting better. In this lesson, I walk you through the Top 10 Mistakes Intermediate Tennis Players Make, from footwork and timing to grip tension, unrealistic expectations, and the split step.
These mistakes often lead to frustration, inconsistency, and even injury (hello tight hips and low back pain!). But the good news is: every single one of them is fixable with awareness and small daily habits.
⛑️ In this video you'll learn:
✅ Why tight hips ruin your technique and increase injury risk
✅ How a tight grip slows down your racquet speed
✅ The correct timing for every stroke (slow → accelerate)
✅ How to finally understand and use the split step
✅ Why watching the ball "bounce and rise" matters
✅ How to stop obsessing over mistakes and start reading opponents
✅ Why finishing your stroke is essential—especially in doubles
✅ How long technique changes REALLY take
✅ Why your serve needs weekly attention
✅ How to play as a team in doubles—not two singles players
🏆 These tips will help you move better, hit cleaner, and enjoy tennis more at any level.
