okok let's face it. economy sucks here and knowing my luck, its quite bad.
I was patiently waiting for the "you got job" call but tough luck, i didn't get a single call...
since i have no job and i needed money to pay my rent for my apartment back at my college, i decided to teach people tennis. The age group is around 10 to middle schoolers who wants obviously wants to get better. 15$ per hour...(that's cheap and reasonable b/c it's my first time) and whatyaknow? i just got a call from a dad who wants his children to learn from me...
the kids are...13 yr boy and 10 yr girl.. they were on and off with tennis in their life...
crap im nervous...
its my first coaching and im trying to plan out how to teach both of them in an hour...
this is my plan...
i have a feeling they know what's backhand and forehand so im gonna start them off by feeding them balls (slowly) and let them hit over the net. they would be at the service line...
*while doing that fix their strokes
Then make them move back? depending on their level...
Next:
im gonna make them run and hit a forehand...it just go over the net
lalala pick up the balls!!!! =]
last: GAME!
don't we need some sort of game in a lesson cuz overall tennis is a freaken game..not just hitting over the net for the heck of it..
i really can't think of a game right now but ....should i give them candies and prizes at the end??
and thanks for the advices if u guys have any!!
