Felix MANTILLA  - December 2004

  • Problem treated : Lack of power on forehand due to poor tranfer of weight at the moment of strike
  • Correction : Ensuring rotation of the pelvis leading to a transfer of weight
  • Result : Greater power and longer forehand without expending increased energy. Felix Mantilla decided to continue his career...
  • He recently got the quarter final in Buenos Aires and Acapulco (2005)
 
   

Dudi Sela - Seeded N°210 in world with ATP . Seeded N° 4 for junior world

  • Diagnosis : Ineffective serve due to elbow falling very low just before strike
  • ACTIVA intervention : A session focused on the internal sensations while holding the elbow in a higher position
