You’re Practicing Harder Than You Need To. And Improving Less Than You Should.
Most players show up, hit the same comfortable drills with the same partner, and assume they aren’t getting better because they don’t have the talent. That isn’t it. The problem is the practice itself.
Rehearsing Instead Of Practicing
You rehearse instead of practice. A match is a fight, not a routine you run with a partner who cooperates.
Warmup Eats Your Practice Time
Your warmup eats 30 to 40 minutes and checks none of the boxes that actually make you better.
No Clear Purpose For Practice
You never decide what each part of practice is for, so nothing holds up when the match is on the line.
None of this is your fault. Nobody teaches players how to practice. Tennis coaches teach forehands and backhands, but players leave not knowing how to actually train to win matches.
Good Practice Is a Skill. You Can Learn It.
There is real, well-studied science behind how people acquire physical skills and perform them under pressure. The trouble is that almost nobody puts that science together with real coaching experience and turns it into practice routines that get results on a tennis court.
That is exactly what this guide does. It takes what works, at every level of the game, and turns it into a clear system you can use at your next practice.
The Guide to Better Practices
A complete, no-fluff playbook for practicing tennis the way players who actually improve do it. Nine chapters that take you from why most practice fails all the way to a full development plan you can build around your own goals. Read it cover to cover, or pull out the one chapter you need today.

Who’s Behind This
In 2005, Glen Hill took over one of the lowest ranked college tennis teams in the country. Half the roster had only played high school tennis, none had been recruited, and some couldn’t run a single mile. With just two hours of practice a day, that team became five-time conference champions made five straight national championship appearances.
The difference wasn’t talent and it wasn’t more hours on the court. It was how they practiced. Glen has since coached club players, high-level college players, and touring pros using the same ideas you’ll find in this guide. He wrote it so you can be the master of your own tennis destiny.
