    Great video. I coach my son’s soccer team (5 and 6 year olds) and it is interesting to note that the standout players are considered to be “naturals” by the parents. The reality is that the standout players kick the ball around for hours everyday in their backyards while the ordinary players spend zero time between games kicking the ball around. The result is that the standout players have another 7-14 hours of practice under their belts by the time they get to the next weekly game and everyone else has zero.

    I love showing this interview to prospective students at our Instinctive Tennis Academy here in Charleston, SC. This is at the basis of how we teach and why we’ve had such success helping people improve on the tennis court. Thanks for sharing the science behind our methods.
