A GAME OF OPPORTUNITIES š¾
It takes just ONE shot to take control of the point.
Force yourself to be proactive instead of reactiveācreate the opportunity before your opponents create it for you.
The player who takes control first has a much higher probability of winning the point.

CONTROL š¾
If you can control both the receiving side and the serving side, you control the match!
Two clips.
Two different outcomes.
The difference?
The receiverās decision after the serve:
Come ināor stay back?
That one decision determines the formation, the court position and who takes control of the point.
TeamForman says:
ā2 in. 2 win!ā š„
Do you hate losing more than you love winning?
Then find a way to NEVER give up!
This mentality is TeamForman mandatory.
Play every point from start to finish with the same hunger to wināwhether itās the first point or match point.
Chase every ball.
Fight for every shot.
Find a way to get it back over the net.
Because as long as the ball comes back, youāre still in the point.
TeamForman says:
āOne more ball can change the entire point.ā
YOUR SHOTS ARE ONLY AS GOOD AS YOUR REACTION TO THEM.
Hitting a great shot is only the first part of the job.
The second partāand often the most important partāis reacting to what your shot created.
Did your shot push your opponent back?
Did it pull them off the court?
Did it force them to hit up?
Did it create an opening for you to move forward?
If the answer is yes, you need to recognize it immediately and move into the right court position.
In this clip, Hilary hits a great return that puts her opponents under pressure. But instead of reacting and moving in, she stays back and watches her shot.
That hesitation changes the entire point.
If she moves forward behind the return, the next ball becomes an easy volleyāand the point could be over within one more hit.
Instead, she gives up the opening, allows her opponents to recover and the point resets back to neutral.
TeamForman says:
āYOUāRE ONLY AS GOOD AS YOUR REACTION TO YOUR SHOTS.ā
A great shot creates the opportunity.
Your movement is what cashes it in. š¾š„
Dissect the courtāone shot at a time.
You control your side of the court by creating openings on theirs.
In this clip:
šÆ Serve out wide to create the angle
šÆ A middle ball deserves a middle shot
šÆ The volley goes back into the open angle
ANGLE ā MIDDLE ā ANGLE
Create the opening. Control the point. Finish the job.

LEARN TO DEFEND š¾
If youāre the serverās net partner, understanding how to defend gives your team a significantly better chance of winning the point.
If the server is pulled forward and out of position, the net person must back up and help defend the court.
This isnāt being passive.
Itās a pure anticipation moveāthinking about whatās coming next and getting into position before it happens.
TeamForman says:
āYou canāt have offense without defense.ā
ON THE RECEIVING SIDEā¦
If the net person doesnāt BURST IN LIKE THE FLORIDA SUNSHINE on their partnerās returnā¦
All sorts of bad things happen:
1. You get passed down the line.
2. Balls get drilled at your feet.
3. Thereās no stagger.
4. NO ONE takes control.
Your partner hits the returnāYOU BURST IN and hunt the volley. āļøš¾
TeamForman says:
āIf you play with the fear of the lob, youāll NEVER be aggressive.ā
šØ THE MIDDLE IS YOURS! šØ
If the return gets through the middle, the net player is NOT doing their job.
And what makes it DOUBLY BAD?
That ball is now going directly to the serverās backhand!
THE FIX:
MOVE YOUR FEET.
HUNT THE BALL.
GET A CRACK AT THE VOLLEY!
Your number-one job at the net is to VOLLEYānot stand there and wait for the ball to find you.
Itās a MINDSET.
