1 00:09:41,789 --> 00:09:42,390 So what we're gonna do, 2 00:09:42,429 --> 00:09:44,179 we're gonna find a line 3 00:09:44,469 --> 00:09:45,289 on the court. 4 00:09:45,630 --> 00:09:47,840 So we're gonna find that nice wide base, 5 00:09:48,109 --> 00:09:49,419 like our ready position 6 00:09:49,590 --> 00:09:50,710 on the balls of our feet, 7 00:09:50,830 --> 00:09:52,109 and from there we're gonna hop. 8 00:09:53,039 --> 00:09:53,630 Over 9 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,710 the line as quickly and as rapidly as we can. 10 00:10:05,809 --> 00:10:06,210 So guys, 11 00:10:06,330 --> 00:10:08,840 do about 15 to 20 reps 12 00:10:09,010 --> 00:10:11,840 of that and then have a 32nd rest 13 00:10:12,090 --> 00:10:14,369 and do another 3 sets. 14 00:10:14,530 --> 00:10:15,130 So now guys, 15 00:10:15,289 --> 00:10:16,729 for the side steps, 16 00:10:16,809 --> 00:10:19,989 position yourself just a little bit off of the center, 17 00:10:20,330 --> 00:10:23,359 you're gonna get back into your wide base 18 00:10:23,809 --> 00:10:25,080 and you're gonna be here 19 00:10:25,809 --> 00:10:26,500 side step, 20 00:10:27,210 --> 00:10:27,859 side step, 21 00:10:28,409 --> 00:10:28,859 side step. 22 00:10:29,789 --> 00:10:30,500 Side step. 23 00:10:30,950 --> 00:10:34,280 And I want you to stay nice and low in an athletic height 24 00:10:34,669 --> 00:10:37,390 and try and really push off with your legs. 25 00:10:37,659 --> 00:10:40,340 Try and get as far as you can in your side step. 26 00:10:46,789 --> 00:10:48,200 And then you can add in 27 00:10:48,510 --> 00:10:49,630 two side steps. 28 00:11:01,580 --> 00:11:04,489 So it's super important with the sidestep that your feet don't 29 00:11:04,700 --> 00:11:05,799 touch together. 30 00:11:06,590 --> 00:11:08,989 Your feet should have a little bit of distance between them. 31 00:11:09,150 --> 00:11:09,549 OK guys, 32 00:11:09,630 --> 00:11:13,219 so now we're onto the crossover step and the cross behind step. 33 00:11:13,630 --> 00:11:18,599 So this drill is called the Andy Murray drill because he was known to do this drill. 34 00:11:18,710 --> 00:11:19,429 So first of all, 35 00:11:19,489 --> 00:11:21,820 I'm gonna do the crossover version, 36 00:11:22,070 --> 00:11:24,780 and then I'm gonna show you the cross behind version of the drill. 37 00:11:24,989 --> 00:11:25,950 So starting in the center, 38 00:11:25,989 --> 00:11:27,260 you're just gonna go from 39 00:11:27,510 --> 00:11:31,630 the tram line to the inside tramline using a big crossover step. 40 00:11:44,909 --> 00:11:48,580 So the goal with this drill is to try and cover as much ground as you can 41 00:11:48,909 --> 00:11:50,380 with that crossover step. 42 00:11:50,549 --> 00:11:54,700 You would have seen there that I had to use a side step as well to, 43 00:11:54,750 --> 00:11:55,840 in order to cover 44 00:11:56,270 --> 00:11:57,330 all of that ground. 45 00:11:57,549 --> 00:11:58,260 But in my head, 46 00:11:58,270 --> 00:12:01,880 my goal is to try and cover as much ground as I can 47 00:12:02,109 --> 00:12:04,380 with that big first crossover step. 48 00:12:04,549 --> 00:12:06,090 And so we're gonna do the same thing now, 49 00:12:06,150 --> 00:12:08,109 but with the cross behind step. 50 00:12:18,159 --> 00:12:18,919 As you can see there, 51 00:12:19,039 --> 00:12:22,320 I was able to cover a lot more ground with my cross over step 52 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,190 compared to my cross behind step, 53 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:24,559 so. 54 00:12:25,239 --> 00:12:28,669 I'm sure you guys will find that too when you go out there and practice, 55 00:12:28,710 --> 00:12:32,299 so don't get discouraged if you can't cover as much ground 56 00:12:32,630 --> 00:12:34,349 with your cross behind step. 57 00:12:34,710 --> 00:12:35,030 So guys, 58 00:12:35,150 --> 00:12:35,270 again, 59 00:12:35,390 --> 00:12:35,679 for the, 60 00:12:35,710 --> 00:12:38,020 the crossover and the cross behind step drill, 61 00:12:38,270 --> 00:12:42,710 it's a good idea to time yourself for between 20 to 30 seconds. 62 00:12:43,335 --> 00:12:45,765 Give yourself a 20 to 32nd rest 63 00:12:45,974 --> 00:12:49,244 and then repeat for however many cents you would like to do. 64 00:12:49,655 --> 00:12:54,364 So the last rule that we're gonna go through is to work on your first step. 65 00:12:54,534 --> 00:12:56,614 So that first explosive step 66 00:12:56,854 --> 00:12:57,695 in tennis. 67 00:12:57,815 --> 00:13:00,364 So we're gonna balance on one leg, 68 00:13:00,815 --> 00:13:01,724 and then from there, 69 00:13:01,895 --> 00:13:03,075 you're gonna sprint 70 00:13:03,315 --> 00:13:03,924 forward 71 00:13:04,335 --> 00:13:04,724 to 72 00:13:04,934 --> 00:13:06,565 the service line, 73 00:13:06,684 --> 00:13:07,414 balancing. 74 00:13:10,210 --> 00:13:11,770 But as my other leg hits the ground, 75 00:13:11,849 --> 00:13:13,119 I'm really using that 76 00:13:13,609 --> 00:13:15,799 to propel myself forward 77 00:13:16,049 --> 00:13:17,400 as quickly as possible. 78 00:13:20,429 --> 00:13:21,059 So again, 79 00:13:21,830 --> 00:13:23,140 Make sure you alternate 80 00:13:23,349 --> 00:13:24,659 the legs that you're using 81 00:13:24,869 --> 00:13:27,539 to push off and again for that last drill, 82 00:13:27,929 --> 00:13:28,820 do 4 83 00:13:29,070 --> 00:13:31,099 to 5 sprints on each leg. 84 00:13:31,270 --> 00:13:31,590 So guys, 85 00:13:31,669 --> 00:13:32,809 that's the end of this video. 86 00:13:32,909 --> 00:13:34,820 I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you 87 00:13:35,109 -->
