Name a coach with more than 106 Pro titles.
boy or girl? totally different story...
friend of mine, 3.5 ish, coached daughter to D1 (excellent student also) full ride... lots of hardwork though.
myself, would be about a 4.0 (tennis scale) golfer, 1 season working with daughter and she is already D1 material...
you just need a logical mind to coach.

This was a full scholarship. I know the details. She got into one school, then the coach of the newly formed team in the other school requested a release from the first school and threw in some extra stuff too.
I know others who would be evasive about what the "full" scholarship really was.

Teach the body to be comfortable with the proper strokes.
I'm about training body movements - "Kinesthetic learning." If there is a problem with a stroke I help the student get used to the right feeling.
I'm sure sometimes when posters see my advice to crack a whip, use a rope, use a baseball bat, chop a log, hold a glass of water, etc. they don't take me seriously, but these tips absolutely do work. I will ask the student to overemphasize parts of a stroke to get the feeling of the proper stroke.
I also keep a constant running dialog in a lesson for auditory learners (though not a step by step breakdown of every little thing) and visually demonstrate everything for visual learners. However, since you want the body to do something, you must physically train the body. Sometimes it drives me nuts to hear everyone having nit-picky debates on pronation, supination, etc. These don't really help someone learn things on a tennis court.
