The Tennis Footwork Mat © can stimulate footwork creativity in the tennis player.

This is achieved through a two-step process: first, the player learns to innovate by combining together in any order he/she pleases the different exercise sequences found in this book.

The “modular” structure of the exercise sequences makes it possible to “connect” them together, as all the sequences were designed with the same starting and ending point.

The second step allows a more advanced tennis player to create his/her own exercise sequences. For this, the tennis player can use as a source of inspiration the exercise sequences provided in this book and combine them with the basic elements of footwork which are: step, jump and turn.
