"New" Brian Gordon serve video on his own website

[seano]

For those interested, Dr. Brian Gordon has a more elaborate serve video on his own website. It covers the 7 rotations of the upward swing but adds a couple more. He has more videos to come. This is not an interactive video where you can ask him questions. Go to
"tennisperformanceresearch.com" to "educational opportunities" to" enter the knowledge base" to "most complex motion is sports?" Enjoy

Checking now. Thanks Seano

Thanks so much, SeanO. Trust you to find a nugget like this. It's really great to get a walk-thru of all the terms and have them graphically explained what they are and exactly where they happen. Really, really useful.

Another gem from Brian. I love how he gives us the raw material with little bias, and then lets us do what we can with it. As coaches and players we are left to fill the space between analysis and coaching, between knowing and doing.

Totally agree. But, the U.S. is behind the rest of the world in giving credence to the power of sport science and biomechanics. Places like the US Olympic Committee and USTA, etc. and other sporting bodies should be funding BG (and JY as the bridge from tennis science research to the field). Another country could snatch both of them up.

Just so long as I don't have to move.

Very true. Brian (and John) helps us understand the science and it's then down to us find ways to get our students to do it. Sometimes that's easy and sometimes it certainly isn't. Acquiring the knowledge is easy, the tricky part is often about finding ways to install it in our students' repertoire. That's what good coaching comes down to...finding ways to make sure BG's work happens for our students.

When working on serve, I often think "if I can't get my body to do what's in my own brain, how much more difficult is it to get someone else's body to do it?" Good luck to all you coaches out there!
