Article: The Seven Steps of a Great Return

[jimlosaltos]

Great to see Tim Mayotte here. Hello, Tim ! I'm more accustomed to our exchanges on quite different topics on The Site Formerly Known as Twitter, but prefer this topic

Anyone have comments on Tim's "The Seven Steps of a Great Return" ?

Working with Tim to bring this piece to life was tremendous. It's hard to imagine anyone with more credibility and insight. After all, as a player Tim served (and beat) two of the greatest returners of all-time, Jimmy Connors and Andre Agassi. And also, as a receiver, he beat such big servers as Boris Becker, Pete Sampras, and John McEnroe. But this story wasn't just based on Tim's journey as a player. He has spent many years coaching, studying, and refining which techniques are essential in building an effective return. What do others think of Tim's ideas?

Not necessarily relevant to this post or the article, but the author recently had this story I find amusing. It was a response to a current ATP player having similar ups and downs.

I beat Jimmy Connors (3# ATP) while at Stanford. Then a few weeks later lost to a guy in Junior College. Of course that guy was Brad Gilbert
