Rick Johnson, the
owner and Tennis Coach of Gig Harbor Tennis Club, has been
teaching Tennis professionally for over 25 years. As a result of
many years of education, personal training received from
many tennis greats, and his own experience, Rick Johnson has developed the unique, effective,
and easy to learn method of instruction taught at Gig Harbor
Tennis Club.
Theoretically,
skills development is a simple matter, but in reality mastering
skills can be very difficult. The key is repetition
.... it is necessary to repeat the skill pattern continually and
correctly otherwise incorrect technique will result.
Once the student understands the
elements of technique and has had some opportunity to practice
the skill, error detection and correction become the most
effective tool for the students continued improvement. As the
student practices the skill over and over, Rick Johnson
detects imperfections or incorrect technique and prescribes methods
and drills for correcting
them.
Slowly, as a result of
the two principles of repetition
and detection/ correction, the skill is perfected, allowing the
students to improve to higher and higher levels of play.
