'We are committed to fight for everyball, to run down everyball and to play everyball with courageous purpose. We see everyball as an opportunity to explore, with curiosity and creativity, our potential to become all we can. We know that everyball extends beyond our sport as we learn the fundamental life skills & values of respect, responsibility, reflection and resilience that help us to thrive in an ever-changing world' - Mike James 2020

Welcome to the Everyball blog - a platform for my views, musings and observations on all things 'coaching'. I have been deeply involved in the coaching profession for the past 30 years, mainly in the sporting context but in other areas of life as well. I am an LTA High Performance Coach and Coach Education Tutor and Mentor, and as Director of Tennis at Halton Tennis Centre in the UK I am the founder/director of 'Everyball Tennis', our 'cradle to tour' coaching programme. What is 'everyball'? Call it a philosophy, an ethos, or a thinking system, it attempts to communicate how I view the game and the ways in which we can apply lessons from the court into our everyday lives. You may be looking for the home sites of Everyball Tennis and Halton Tennis Centre? You'll find these in the links below. For my own personal service offerings please click on the coachingbymike link. Thanks a lot and look forward to being in touch!

Flings and slams - developing better internal and external shoulder rotation for top serving!

Try some 'flings' and 'slams' for improved shoulder rotation (external and internal) on the serve.  Plus a return of Smithy the dog!

Also, from yesterday, a little more work on coordinating the arms in the service action.

Hi, sorry to hear this. I think the subscribe function is still working? Perhaps you could go through the 'subscribe by email' process again (left hand side), but I can double check for you if you send my a PM via mikejames@everyball.net
