Technique that enables you to take the ball or the rise, or scramble and through up defensive lobs. But equally the ability to decide what is the shot that offers the least risk and the greatest reward - and that is the nut of creating offensive and equally defensive pressure. Ofttimes, winning and losing is less about hitting winners, and more about competing intelligently, understanding the court, understanding your options, and trusting your skill set to make it happen.

The Secrets of World Class Footwork
Welcome to the newly updated and remastered “Secrets of World Class Footwork – Featuring Stefan Edberg”
I originally created this as a video some 8 years ago. And then, as now, I believed that truly the secrets to footwork are simply – starting quickly, regaining balance, and timing the split step.
Further, as is often the case, too many people obscure these elements of footwork when emphasizing explosive movements and more. Plain and simple – good footwork means moving quickly and easily, gliding, hitting on balance, and being on time for the opponent’s subsequent hit.
We have reformatted this into an online course with integrated streaming videos and added material throughout to update “The Secrets.”
Footwork is the name of our game – and it can become the cornerstone of yours – master the secrets!
- Do you know the meaning and feeling of being "light on your feet"?
- Are you slow to start to the ball, or sometimes off balance during the hit?
- Are you willing to practice a proven aerobic choreography to master these skills and more?
Are you ready to do some serious work on your own?
Footwork is the name of the game - and truly balance, starting moves and finishing positions are so often overlooked - you have seen others move gracefully - if you want the same this is the course for you!

ETI Streamlining
Flowing.
Swinging easily yet hitting hard.
Tennis is a game of rhythm where players are rewarded with effortless swings. But the secret lies (and yes there always seems to be a secret) in using your body and arms naturally, very much like the rhythm and feel of an overhand throwing motion.
Discover the elements of pulling, sequencing, shift of weight and lagging – and imprint this on your forehand and your serve.
