B. Action Plan

  1. Daily Practice Routine:

    • Allocate 30 minutes each day specifically for serving practice.

    • Incorporate warm-up exercises before starting to prevent injury.

    • Focus on different types of serves (e.g., flat, slice, topspin) to develop versatility.

  2. Weekly Review Sessions:

    • After each practice session, record the number of successful serves.

    • Analyze the progress at the end of each week to identify strengths and areas for improvement.

    • Adjust the practice drills based on the weekly results to target weaker areas.

  3. Coach Collaboration:

    • Schedule a weekly session with your coach dedicated to serve technique.

    • Request specific drills and feedback from your coach to refine accuracy and consistency.

    • Discuss any challenges faced during solo practice and seek advice on overcoming them.

  4. Match Simulation:

    • Incorporate serve practice into match simulations to apply skills under game conditions.

    • Focus on serving under pressure to replicate match scenarios and improve mental toughness.


C. Accountability

  1. Self-Tracking:

    • Use a journal or digital app to log daily practice and weekly results.

    • Set reminders for practice sessions to maintain consistency.

  2. Coach Feedback:

    • Regularly review progress with your coach during weekly sessions.

    • Request your coach to hold you accountable for completing the daily practice routine.

  3. Peer Support:

    • Share your goals with a training partner or peer who can encourage and motivate you.

    • Consider practicing serves with a partner who can provide immediate feedback.


D. Notes

  • Equipment Check: Ensure your racket and balls are in optimal condition for practice to avoid unnecessary errors.

  • Injury Prevention: Incorporate stretches and strengthening exercises for your shoulder and arm to prevent injuries related to repetitive serving.

  • Mental Focus: Practice visualization techniques before serving to build confidence and focus during actual matches.

  • Evaluation: At the end of the three-month period, evaluate your serve accuracy and set new goals based on your progress.
