Preservation Strategies, Inc., in Highland Park,
Illinois, dedicates his professional time to
helping clients safeguard their assets. An avid
tennis player in his free time, Arthur S. Miller
plays twice each week in spring and summer
and is a member of two doubles leagues in the
Highland Park, Illinois, area.
For the doubles tennis team, communication is
paramount. A team must be able to respond
as a unit, which means that both players must
know what information they need to
communicate and when.
3. This begins with staying in the moment at all
times during a match. By not dwelling on a
past shot, good or bad, a player can react to
what is occurring and send a signal if
necessary.
Experts recommend that these signals be brief
but clear. Calling a shot “mine” or “yours” can
help a team avoid the common mistake of
both players attempting to hit the ball at the
same time and consequently making a poor
shot. Other more long-term calls, such as who
should go for backhand volleys, are best left to
pre-match and post-match conversations.
