Ten principles.
A connected approach.
- Read the direction and time demands of the moving ball
- Prepare the stroke during the approach
- Organise outside-leg support in transfer on the run
- Connect the trunk and racket to the moving action
- Manage contact and the transition to the opposite support
- Develop open-stance support coordinated with the strike
- Use frontal transfer for suitable forward-moving situations
- Adapt to a short ball reached while running
- Control braking, landing or continued forward movement
- Link every moving contact to its recovery demand
