Coach Kirk invented an incentive drill for promoting "High Percentage" Tennis skill development. Most low level players make an extraordinary number of errors and unforced errors when they play tennis. Learning how to construct a point and learning how to manage your errors by aiming higher over the net and into the middle of the court has a compound affect of reducing your own errors and allowing your opponent to make more errors.
My philosophy in life and tennis have much in common." In the sport of tennis you deal with a lot of adversity and learn how to embrace that adversity to grow, and overcome the challenges you face in every match throughout your career. It's the same in life so tennis helps you become better at life.

To achieve this understanding Coach Kirk created a club where his students earn a badge and a T-Shirt when they can hit 100 balls in a row with Coach Kirk. Most players average 2-4 balls in a rally before they make an error so the task takes months for most to master.
I have had many tennis jobs, experiences and matches in my life but one of the biggest impacts was the training I recieved while attending Tennis Technology Tennis Academy in Tyler Tx living and training for two years and training with the top pros in the industry like Vic Braden, Dennis Van Der Meer, Dr. James Loher and many others. Our program leader, Steve Smith has impacted many thousands of lives in tennis and is still coaching at the very highest levels.

To be able to hit 100 balls in a row on demand is not easy. Contact Kirk to learn more.
