My dad's 55, a former pro hockey player, and he wants to start competing in Masters tennis — but he's barely played a real match in his life. Before we start training for it, I broke down his entire game: forehand, backhand, serve, return, net play, and movement.
Turns out his backhand and serve are already strengths — thanks, hockey. His forehand, return, and first step need the most work.
This is Episode 1 — the assessment. Next, we start training.
