You can learn a lot about car performance by looking under the hood. This article is the same thing with Rafa Nadal
After all the many motoring analogies flying around these days, when people speak well of tennis players not only today but in the past, I thought I would take this opportunity to see some important elements that form the modern genius in the field of the earth joke that is Rafa Nadal.
After its demolition set of three tennis "Rolls Royce" Roger Federer everyone in awe, not only the inability to hurt Federer, Nadal, but Nadal untouchable performance, I thought Nadal wheels in the "garage" to open and take a look under the hood to see what we could find.
In the garage
Ok first impression is a body kit is well balanced even easier, giving it the ability to generate electricity is not yet sufficient to obtain aerodynamic around the track (right), again and again.
But let's put on a ramp to begin our inspection of the base. Look down from the floor to see what the secret ingredients for success.
The first thing to note is a selection of axle and wheels. It has a wide axle and wider than the average, low-profile tires, which means that it is a large disk without sacrificing maneuverability. He is, of course, all-wheel drive, independent suspension, which is the key to success is "dirty" clay courts.
But what does it mean for you?
Yes, because all the great tennis players are built from scratch, that's exactly what you should be aware of when they look for clues and tips to improve your game - starting with your feet and how you can improve the way they work.
The ability to get a good number of balls in an excellent position to hit shots very crucial. Not too close or too far from the ball and not have the power and the lack of control and because Nadal (and) have to hit shot after shot, the ability to stay low (for a good balance) and under the control of your shot and move to the next photo (under control) is the highest priority.
Moreover, the fact that we were on clay is more difficult, because it moves you as you drag, you must learn to maintain your balance in and out of slides to the ball while keeping your game legs in check for maximum power.
This is why Nadal has done, and yet why you should do a lot of on and off court drills without hitting balls.
Exercises that force you to learn to maintain balance, move your feet quickly, and to move around the courtyard to get to the balls or cones, etc., in models that are similar to those that may experience when you play.
No matter if you have them or clay or even play with clay or not. What is the surface you're playing, you can improve your game significantly the introduction of this practice should be routine.
Think of it as learning new words.
If you can increase the amount of words you know and use, so it will not matter what situation you find yourself in which you want to have more words at your disposal to deal with it. This is exactly why small children are less able to communicate well - they do not need many words to choose
It's the same with your footwork and movement. The more you can increase your "movement vocabulary", the more likely you will manage any situation is on track and that is why Nadal is a liquid multi-lingual guide (so to speak - no pun ).
So that's the bottom of the Nadal-Mobile in the next segment, let's look in more detail in the engine to see what we can learn there.
