Sports Split Step Tennis Plus

Sports Split Step Tennis Plus

Evidence Based Concepts (EBC) inherent in these new training applications will
revolutionize your approach to competing in your sport. Train your entire body
by integrating your sensory and physical systems with precise timing sequences
that emulate your opponent's movements. This Tennis Plus Application includes
the original 10 drills from the Sports Split Step Tennis App and an additional
5 Hand Feed Drills. The additional drills allows the athlete to improve their
acceleration and speed of movement in a progressively challenging manner while
working with a hand tossed ball. Emphasis on seeing, anticipating, hearing and
then reacting provides a process by which all athletes can increase their
sensory-motor skills, something referred to as Reaction-Based Training. The App
provides the necessary timing (using beeps) for allowing the coach feedback for
gaging their toss, while at the same time using a sequence of RED lights to
allow the athlete 'keys' for when to prepare loading for the split step.

Features include:
1. Three levels of difficulty (Slow, Medium, Fast).
2. Movement selections from 15 different drills.
3. Drills have timed movements in 8 different directions or combinations of
directions.
4. Eight drills are Closed (repeatable) and 2 drills are user selectable as
Open (Random) or Closed patterns.
5. A simple and fun experience of introducing athletes to sensory-motor
training.
6. Unique stimulus for generating the timing for initial movements used in many
different sports (i.e. split step in tennis or pre-hop in baseball).
7. A training environment for combining initial movements with sport specific
development (i.e. melding of the split step, movement to ball, and hitting
an imaginary tennis ball).
8. Sensory cues (both visual and audio) by which to anticipate movement
involved in learning to time and hit an imaginary ball, (i.e. decelerating
and execution of a sports specific movement).
9. Challenges that improve agility and balance for all athletes, while
improving sports specific conditioning.
10. Allows the tennis player the opportunity to learn the split step while
hitting balls.
11. Allows coaches opportunities to give stroke feedback while hitting balls,
without sacrificing the proper preparation for executing the split step.
