<p>I have post a 4 and a 1/2 minute video to answer a question that I was asked by a high level 14 year old tennis player in China. It covers some corrective exercise strategies that can help to improve balance (or stability), which is very important in tennis.

The overall concept of flexibility, core training, strength training and conditioning applies, but here is a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">snipit</span> that may be helpful!</p>
<p>Thanks for reading and watching!</p>
