unfortunatley over pounded against Thai , Thais defence was solid and on the clay even better and DB went to big and got stung but overall good run , Futures next and a couple of jrs in Brazil then probably the French and so on . Thanx and will post more as I cut it up points won and lost cause it was high quality form both sides .

Ah... TCF, if you're still reading/posting, my bad.

A general question. Are you focusing on a particular surface to maximise dbs skill set? I know people train on all surfaces but in your mind is one surface where you will want to break through?
For my 11 year old son we train on hartru 4 months a year but he is a much better hard court player.

I have a couple of thoughts , first clay builds the legs which are your most important physical tool in tennis also the hard courts are so slow now and coaches still attempt to train kids according to a outdated system of drills , clay courts expose %'s better and faster then hard courts.

Hard courts give kids the feeling that they can blast their way through matches its a habit we are slowly breaking on DB and it is what ultimately cost him the OB , if you can play your kid on hard tru every other month I would encourage you of that now rather then later .

We are fortunate of video recorders cause we have studied his matches a couple of times and he sees the mistakes he made and now we work to correct but you can cut out some of these problems ahead of time .

in the Thai match you can see him blasting away as thai is spending 80% of the match camped out on the fence and on defense and DB fell for what I call hard court tennis curse on clay. Best to you and your kid .

BB, nice video's.

Do you have any video's of Deit slicing a backhand?

Make sure you get Deit's service motion smoothed out.

Good to see that Deit's got a pro game!

I think it is great to play on har-tru. It is slower than hard courts, but when dry, can be a pretty fast court. When wetter, it can be very slow. Between the necessity of adjusting your game to different conditions and, more importantly, learning how to move efficiently on a slippery surface, it helps to develop an overall game.

I do 'slice' will post , also I agree on the serve motion as were building his strength its not easy to have the smooth motion as he is lifting heavy , soon he will be in the swimming pool to lengthen the muscles and hopefully the serve will be as you and I both would like to see.

I have most this on a Flip camera and as soon as I figure out how to make the file share-able I will let you guys know then you can watch the whole match ,btw if any of you are computer savy about the Flip camera get in touch with me will take any help I can get haha Really!

NLB would love to dialogue outside this blog if your interested , would love to trade thoughts ,also DB is starting to fly out of the nest more and I am going to need to stay busy if you want contact me through my youtube account and we could pick eachothers brains and if there is aything I can share to help you with developing you child it would be my honor.

also will post some of DB slicing just having trouble finding some . http://youtu.be/2QXzbcHlK8Q the slice

Coach: Where did you learn to use swimming to train for tennis? Swimming puts a lot of strain on the shoulders. Many tennis players have shoulder issues because of oversuse while serving.

Its never used as a continual workout just supplemental as a way of loosening up what has become tight from weight training .

Venus and Serena have done quite well with endorsements.
