It builds on the Hotspot concept of providing a system that is affordable yet versatile enough to fit into any training program for any sport.  The wireless “hotspots” offer  a simple way to create movement patterns and drills for your training program whilst offering an easy way to be flexible adhering to the needs of your athletes.

Welcome to the first “drill” post on the Hotspot blog.   In this post I have created a drill to train/coach/test elements of the “flow” step used in variety of situations within tennis.

The “flow” step is commonly used as a means of defending wide balls that have caused you to be on the run and over stretched.  The “flow” step allows you to hit the ball on the move and implement a braking method allowing quick and efficient recovery back into the court.  I am going to provide 3 variations of the drill and alongside each provide some coaching tips and analysis.

The Hotspot system can add the much needed purpose to resisted movement exercises.

Using bands/bungees/ cords etc in conjunction with the hotspot system can result in very effective, motivated training.

An example of this is where athletes are required to move a certain distance whilst under resistance and recover back to a start position.  In many cases the athlete will cut short of the distance and hence lose out on the completeness of the drill.

Measuring such an activity is difficult in terms of the distance as mentioned and indeed the number of successful reps or the time taken to produce a set target of reps.

The Hotspot system not only takes care of the accuracy and precision of the drill but also can measure times and scores in each of it’s modes.  Using the Hotspot provides immediate feedback as to the performance and indirectly provides effort indicators and hopefully motivation to better previous performance.

To maximise the performance “make it count” with the Hotspot System.
