One Feeder Routines Specific To My Strategy

One Feeder-Routines

Introduction

Similarly, one feeder routines are specific to My Strategy.

Furthermore, the routines are presented sequentially (Sequencing).

When the player is learning My Strategy it is critical the player after practising solo is fed by the coach. During the one feeder routines, occasionally, the coach should remind the player to identify what zone the player is in.

The only time the player does not revisit the tactical aspects is during the holiday break.

Implementation of My Strategy.

The player must before hitting the ball:
Identify what zone the player is in.
Identify whether the player can see the opponent (blind or not blind). Furthermore, if the player (in Defensive Zones) is blind to the opponent, the player assumes the opponent is in The T Area.
Identify whether the player is balanced (if in the A1, D3 and D4 zones).
These components must be identified sequentially before selecting what shot to play.

This is referred to as conscious squash. When learning.... the use of Visualisation is essential. Furthermore, the player when anxious uses Centering to assist with focusing and Mental Rehearsal to assist with remembering the components. 

There are many One Feeder Routines and below are a few examples.

The player positions in either the D1, D2 and A2-B Zones.

For example, "I am in the D1 zone I am blind to my opponent, I will hit the ball high and slow".

For example,"I am in the A2-B zone I am not blind to my opponent and I am balanced, I will hit the ball straight low and fast".

The player positions in the A1 zone

For example, "I am in the A1 zone I am blind to my opponent and I am balanced I will play a straight drop".

For example, "I am in the A1 zone I am not blind to my opponent and I am balanced I will play a straight drive".

The player positions in either the D3 or D4 zone.

For example, "I am in the D3 zone I am blind to my opponent, I will hit the ball high and slow".

For example, "I am in the D3 zone I am blind to my opponent, I will play a straight drop".
