This is GREAT! And most encouraging. I work with players irrespective of level to discover their “ideal point of contact”, through simple feeds and self discovery. The TELOS lens works every time! Grazie Coach! Jim
Thanks Jim! Glad you find it helpful and always appreciate hearing from youj! I want to make sure that I was clear that contact point is the first thing I chose to focus on with snapshot while doing the TELOS Exercise - "Notice The Great". the reason why I think notice the great works so well is that people can be uncertain about what is good or ok but when it feels great that they are certain of. so that certainty can be focused on many things. first contact point. then perhaps where are my feet when it feels great? or where is my weight when it feels great? is it on my front foot? on my back foot. 60% on my front foot and 40% on my back footf, etc. best, Peter
Love this! I’ve created a game with my students, it’s called the game of « perfect » they pose after every shot. When they feel on balance with a good finish they say perfect. Just being aware of the finish is magic and they immediately start hitting better balls.
Great exercise. Thanks for sharing Marc. funny thing is "Notice the Great: has evolved since making this video, to letting the student pick a word to describe when it feels "great"; and very often they choose perfect. So when they hit a shot that feels "perfect" they stop and take a "mental snap shot" in order to triangulate their contact point on a ball that feels "perfect". Some students have chosen "joy" and others like the word "amazing". Different strokes for different folks!
Another great video and tool..I used that today with a client and it was amazing how things changed..they were instantly able to relax more and didn't get affected mentally by where the ball was going. What was even more awesome is they hit one out but still said it felt great. From there they kept search for it again and like you said, 1 became 2 and 2 became 3
