"Respect the X" — Do People Really Know What it Means?
Q: What does the phrase 'respect the X' mean in practice on the court?
It means each player is responsible for their own area: cover the diagonal and middle by maintaining the X pattern, and communicate to avoid both players trying to hit the same ball or letting an attack go through the middle.
Be Kinder to Yourself on the Court
Q: How often do you find yourself having to pull out that philosophy with your clients?
Every day, every day, as players constantly confront self-criticism and the urge to punish themselves for mistakes.
