Personal Video Tennis Training
(PVTT)
by Brent Abel
The
Ultimate Tennis Stroke Improvement Method
If
you're truly serious about improving any aspect of your tennis game,
whether a specific stroke or strategy, then my Personal Video Tennis
Training service may be just the learning tool for you.
Here's basically how this works.
You send me a video clip via email of
the stroke you want to improve. If you don't know how to attach a
file to an email, it's easy. I can show you how.
A 4-5 second clip of your tennis stroke
is plenty. You can either use a digital video camera or
the video function on a digital still camera is also fine.
You'll need a high speed internet
connection (either DSL, Cable, or faster) to send the video file.
This will not work with a dial up modem.
I will then take your video clip and
put it side by side next to another video clip of the model we want you
to copy (that model is normally me, but we can also use current pros
such as Sampras or past pros such as Pancho Gonzales or others).
I then record a new video where I
control your clip and the model's clip in real time, slo-mo, and frame
by frame as I talk giving you my evaluation with recommendations for
improvement.
Below is a sample from one of my PVTT
students. You'll need the FLASH video player downloaded onto your
computer. It's free and a quick download.
I then set up a private webpage for
you, upload your new instructional video, and then
send you the webpage link via email.
I also burn your instructional video to your choice of a DVD or Computer
CD and send that out to you in the USPS 1st class mail.
Brent,
Excellent!!!! I have been playing the video every chance I get
hoping I can burn it into my brain.
Your commentary was fantastic and I liked how you pointed out the
three points that I needed to focus on such that it is clear what I
need to do when I get out on the courts.
It's hard not to be mortified when my serve is placed side by side
by yours, but I do feel that
the comparison is key so that I can see how off my motion is from
"perfection". A real wake up call!
I found myself looking at other people's serves on the courts the
other night and I could clearly see the difference between those who
had a good serve (i.e. following the motions you teach) and those
with serves that needed work as they were not going through the
phases that you teach and the motion is all over the place like
mine.
The software you used worked extremely well to convey the lesson so
that gets high marks as well.
I plan to try and practice the serving drills on the court this
weekend. In the mean time I have been practicing the
drills you suggest at home. I'll let you know how it turns out.
Once again a million thanks.
I really felt like I was watching
a tennis match where the commentator broke down a stroke during a
match.
That is usually the reason I like to
watch on TV so to see it done on my stroke was great.

Dear Brent,
I am literally in shock about the quality
of this service, your Personal Video Tennis Training.
I was a little skeptical when I ordered
it from you (thanks for taking your time on the phone to explain it to
me), but I am so glad I did.
My serve has improved well past what I
ever imagined would be possible.
Especially my 2nd serve which such a
weak part of my game.
I now feel confidence throughout the
rest of my tennis game just because I no longer worry about my serve.
Thanks Brent and please feel free to
use my email as a testimonial for your website.
A very satisfied customer,

Hi Brent,
You promised me "real" improvement on my
backhand and you more than delivered on that promise.
I am so grateful for what you have
given me. My tennis is more fun than ever before.
I know I'll never be the best player at
my club, but to feel that wonderful feeling of actually truly improving
on a tennis stroke is priceless.
The fee you charge for this service is
well below what I think it is worth.
I'm hesitant to tell the other gals in
my doubles group about this because I love being the one who now has the
big backhand!
Thanks again Brent.

Your webpage also includes a specific
practice plan (on and off the court) for improvement.
The entire process takes about 1 day
from when I receive your video clip.
This is a powerful learning tool where
in addition to your instructional video you receive a detailed practice
plan that includes not only on court and off court drills, strength
conditioning and flexibility exercises, but also specific visualization
techniques.
I offer two versions of my PVTT
service.
Both versions include:
your private webpage with your
personal video lesson and practice plan;
a DVD or Computer CD (your choice)
of your personal video lesson mailed to you;
a 30 minute private follow up
consultation phone call with me
the current version of my
instructional product for the stroke you want to improve in either
Computer CD or DVD (your choice);
lifetime email support;
a 100% money back guarantee.
If you follow my instructions and are not totally satisfied with your
purchase for any reason at any time, simply ask for your purchase
price to be refunded and I will do so immediately.
Version #1 is a one time video
clip exchange where you send me one clip of any stroke you want.
Your video lesson will be a complete evaluation by me of that entire
stroke, a side by side comparison with either me or a different pro, and
a detailed practice plan for improvement.
We will spend 30 minutes on the phone
after you have had a couple of weeks to practice.
Version #1 price with everything
included is $125.
Version #2 is a four week
workshop where you and I exchange new video clips over a four week
period, one new clip per week.
You send me a video clip at the start
of the four week period, and based on my evaluation, I create an overall
video lesson plan and design an improvement timeline schedule to help
you master specific elements of your stroke over that four week time
period.
At the end of each week, you will take
a new video clip of your stroke, send it to me via email, and I will
produce a new video lesson with a detailed practice plan for the
upcoming week.
You will send me a new video for each
of the four weeks. In total, you will send me five video clips
that will represent a "Before and After" series of improvement.
When the four week period is completed,
we will spend 30 minutes on the phone as a follow up, and you will
receive a DVD or Computer CD (your choice) that will include all of your
five video lessons.
Time Requirements for Version #2:
Before the 4 week "workshop" starts, the student emails me
3 video clips of
the stroke to be worked on (no more than 5 seconds per clip) from these different
angles:
directly behind the student 15' back from the baseline;
from the
corner of the baseline & the doubles sideline looking into to the student;
and from the corner of the singles sideline &
service line looking into the student
Each weekthe student must be able to commit to:
playing tennis (either singles or doubles) at
least twice during each of the four weeks;
two 15 minute practice sessions (following my
specific practice plan) which can be either after (not before) their
singles or doubles and/or another separate on-court time during the
week.
two 20 minute off-court strength training &
stretching sessions (following my specific plan)
at the end of each week, re-shooting a 5 second
clip of their stroke from the 3 different angles.
Week 1: After receiving your initial video clips, and prior to
starting Week 1, I will produce an instructional video (side by side, you and
me) to have you work on specific elements of your serve for the first week.
You will also receive from me a text practice plan and log for the week which
you will email back to me after the week. You will re-shoot your stroke from
the 3 different angles and email to me.
Weeks 2-4: I will produce a new instructional / evaluation video
along with a new practice plan / log for yout for each of the weeks 2, 3, & 4
based on the video you send me at the end of each week.
End of the Workshop: At the end of the 4 week workshop, you
must commit to a 30 minute private phone conversation / evaluation with me.
Version #2 price with everything
included is $495.
GUARANTEE: Remember, you
are not at risk at all with your purchase.
I am so confident you will have
significant improvement that I will give you a lifetime 100% purchase
price guarantee of your purchase satisfaction.
All that I ask is that you follow my
practice plan. It's that simple.
Pick the version you want. Once
your credit card or PayPal payment is successfully transacted, you'll be
re-directed to a questionnaire form that I want you to complete.

me your video clip.
I'm looking forward to helping you.
