MFT - for everyday useRacketsport lessons
MFT Sweden gives racketsport lessons in all four major racketsports tabletennis, badminton, squash and tennis to all levels of players from the beginner to the professional player. Focus is on technique, tactics, the physical and the mental game. The lessons are individually adapted to suit the customers expectations and the instructors experience of what needs to be done to create the best possible pedagogic situation. Both single lessons and series of lessons are given all according to the customer`s needs and the instructor`s recommendations.
Lessons in the four racket sports seperately
If you are among those who would like to get lessons in only one of the four racket sports this is of course possible. You explain what you wish to improve technically, tactically, physically and mentally but can also receive the instructors recommendations. Some players have a good idea of what they want to improve and others feel stuck in their development and need someone else`s ideas to find a new development. Depending on which sport you would like to improve, it is possible to concentrate on different parts of the game to accomplish quickest possible result.
The technical part of MFT Sweden´s pedagogical teaching deals with how to hold the racket, hit the ball, move on court or hit different shots from various positions of the court.
Tactically MFT Sweden gives guidelines for where to hit the ball depending on how the opponent acts, whether to play offensive or defensive, how to use the opponents weaknesses and to create space for your own good shots. The physical part includes strengthening your heart- and lung capacity, becoming more vigorous and developing stronger muscles. The mental branch concerns issues like finding your way of thinking, feeling and behaving on court in order to get the most out of yourself at the moment of achievement or having a clear well thought mental strategy for dealing with inner processes that could be destructive to your game.
Racketlon lessons
If you are interested in becoming a better Racketlon player you might find it useful to invest in racketlon lessons where you get to play all four events consecutively and practice how to handle the transitions between the sports which can be very difficult if you are not accustomed to them. These lessons should be at least two hours long to get enough time to go through all events. Of course you can take lessons including only two or three events as well all according to your needs.
A very important aspect of Racketlon is to monitor the differences in techique between the events so that you do not end up playing with a squash tecnique on tenniscourt or a table tennis technique on the badminton court. It is necessary to get used to quickly adapt to new rackets, balls and motions. This is what the Racketlon lessons focus on especially. Another aspect of Racketlon that you do not find in the individual sports is that every point counts toward the final score which means that losing concentration during a couple of minutes in part of the match could be crucial to the outcome of the game. The mental strategy is not losing focus on what you need to do and learn how to come back fast into concentration between rallies if you loose it momentarily. This mental aspect of Racketlon can create a lot of problems for players coming from the individual sports. It is also very easy to fall into the mental trap of trying to calculate what the score in each event might be depending on how good you think your opponent´s profile looks like which can create big disappointments if you underachieve and great moments of joy if you do better than expected. These kind of emotional outburst can turn Racketlonmatches around completely. Racketlon is extremely tough psychlogically since you have no chance to rest mentally during a game and the fact that you need to compete in events that you do not master technically well enough to feel confident. To become a good Racketlonplayer you need to learn how to focus on one point at a time without thinking about what has happened and what might happen.
Racketlon is also more physically demanding than the events separately since it requires an allround athleticism, vigour, stamina, speed and timing which need to be more flexible than if you only play one sport. Because of this it might be a good idea to complement Racketlon lessons with weight training using free weights such as bars. You need to build up your abdomen, back and legs as they are the engine, control organ and power generator of a good Racketlon player. MFT Sweden can help you to construct your own weightlifting program to help you reach a higher Racketlon level.
