Hi, this is Ben Hesley from Bull Shark Sports.
Today's tip, we're gonna be focused on holding return.
Holding return means winning our return games.
Very similar to how you hear holding surf,
we're focused on winning the games
in which someone is serving to us.
In B and C, out to levels and low levels
of junior competition, this is often the case
because the surf is developmentally weaker
than other parts of players' games.
So it presents an opportunity to take advantage
of our opponent's surf and then break their surf
or what we like to call holding return.
So when you're out there playing,
think about how you can take advantage
of that weaker surf, attack that,
and then hold your return.
Holding return is a concept maybe something I've not heard,
but holding return is really, really viable
in order to win matches at those B and C,
out to levels and those lower levels
of junior competition.
I hope this helps.
I hope that you learn to attack people's surf,
be aggressive and hold return.
