TENNISBYMIND - Feedback Form

Before the first lessons start, all trainees has to be videoed and evaluated in a feedback form for both backhand & forehand shots made from baseline. At the end of the process they ought to be evaluated by the same rater in order to have an objective measuring of the advance they made. The form is to be filled separately for backhand and forehand as well. The instructor gives a copy to the trainee at the end of the process. The idea is to let them understand their performance and work on their weak elements while playing for fun.
