Prince of Tennis: A tennis legend that started from signing in

Chapter 465: The Great Way is Simple, Chopping Tree Stumps with a Racket

After these four people made obvious progress.

Alexander Amadeus, Peter Lambiel, Kulalaja Tasta and others also followed suit and tried it.

Of course, like Akutsu, Yukimura Seiichi, Sanada Genichirō, Tokugawa Kazuya and others, they did not grasp the key points at the beginning.

Every time I swing the racket, it feels like I'm groping in the dark, and I can never concentrate my strength.

But as the number of attempts increased, they gradually found the feeling, and the number of mini shooting targets that fell to the ground soared.

Of course, the current selected members have the highest performance.

You know, this group of high school players relied on their own strength to win the first place in the selection competition.

In addition to a day of trying and adjusting his own body force chain, he now received some guidance from Brand.

They are also fully capable of achieving qualitative change.

The second is the junior high school players.

Of course, this is what I said, but in fact it was because of Kitagawa, Yukimura Seiichi, Sanada Genichirō, Akutsu, and Tokugawa Kazuya that the overall score was directly raised.

In addition, many people have achieved breakthroughs through this kind of training in breath, body, spirit, and strength.

Although it doesn't mean that he has directly jumped to the top national level or professional level, this visible growth still makes many people happy.

"Alright." Brand's voice sounded again, "That's all for today's training." A satisfied smile appeared on his face. "You have an hour to eat and rest."

As he spoke, he checked his watch. "At 8:00 PM, gather here promptly for the medicinal bath therapy to help you recover." He paused slightly, then emphasized, "Don't be late."

After saying that, Brand walked towards the coach's office of the Swiss U-17 training camp with a smile.

The next morning, the first rays of sunlight, still a little cool, could not wait to shine on the spacious training ground of the Swiss U-17 training camp.

The field was wet with last night’s dew, and in the morning light, it shimmered with tiny lights, like a small lake with twinkling stars.

All the players have already gathered in an orderly manner. They are wearing uniform training suits, standing tall and in high spirits.

Everyone's face was filled with vitality, without any sign of fatigue, as if yesterday's high-intensity training was just a piece of cake for them.

"Sure enough, this money was not wasted." Brand stretched his arms leisurely and walked briskly in front of everyone with Mifune Nyudo and Qin Onokieha.

He had a relaxed smile on his face, but there was a barely perceptible cunning in his eyes.

At this moment, the three coaches were all smiling, like three kind elders.

However, the players present were subconsciously frightened.

After all, Brand's training method alone is daunting, not to mention the appearance of these three "old foxes" together.

The players were all secretly speculating in their hearts, and no one knew what weird and frustrating training program these three people would come up with today.

"Today, we will officially begin to strengthen our body and mind." Mifune Nyudo spoke first, his voice deep and powerful, echoing in the training ground.

"Those guys who didn't meet yesterday's requirements, please continue practicing." He paused slightly, his eyes like a sharp sword, sweeping across the faces of each player.

"At the same time, today is the last day. If you still haven't succeeded, you will be kicked out of this training team." His tone was firm, leaving no room for negotiation, which made those players who had not yet met the standards feel nervous.

"As for the successful ones, they will have to 'chop the tree stump' in the same state as yesterday." Mifune Nyudo continued.

"And the tool used is the racket in your hands." As he spoke, he picked up a racket and waved it twice in the air, signaling everyone to look carefully.

"In other words, you have to keep the racket intact while causing damage to the 'stump'." He emphasized the difficulty of the training.

"Additional instructions—each person must have a maximum of three rackets. The target 'tree stump' must have obvious marks in at least multiple locations."

Even as he was speaking, the staff of the Swiss U-17 training camp, like well-trained soldiers, quickly and orderly delivered today's props - almost identical, sturdy tree stumps and brand new rackets tailored for each person.

Under the gaze of everyone, they skillfully set up the equipment on the other side of the training ground.

In fact, even though the players were mentally prepared and knew that these three "old foxes" would come up with some weird training, they still couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the thick tree stumps and rackets in front of them.

Their minds were filled with confusion, and they couldn't understand what the connection was between chopping tree stumps with a racket and tennis training.

However, this dazed state was soon broken by a series of crisp chopping sounds.

I saw Beichuan holding the racket in his hand and making his first attempt to "chop the tree stump".

His movements were smooth and natural, his arm muscles were tense, and the racket drew a graceful arc in the air, with a whistling sound, and hit the tree stump heavily.

The next moment, everyone immediately gripped their rackets tightly, turned around, and swung with all their might.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" The sounds of wind and waves rose and fell, and the entire training ground was suddenly filled with a tense and enthusiastic training atmosphere.

"Oh~" Brand looked at Beichuan who had completed the action, opened his mouth, and showed a helpless expression on his face. Finally, he sighed helplessly.

"Abei, wait until I finish speaking before you start~! Forget it, this can just be considered a demonstration." As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to other people.

"While you practice, I will explain the tree stump chopping exercise to you in detail." Brand raised his voice so that his voice could be heard over the noisy sound of swinging rackets.

"For tennis, every player cannot do without the swing of the racket." He said as he personally demonstrated several different swing postures.

"Even though there are many categories of racket swing movements, the real core of power actually lies in the four major muscles: the arm muscles, back muscles, waist muscles, and leg muscles." He pointed to the corresponding parts of his body in turn to make everyone understand more intuitively.

"And the same is true for actions like chopping tree stumps and splitting wood," Brand continued.

"But the former is in the horizontal direction, and the latter is in the vertical direction. That is to say, the force points are different." He picked up the racket and demonstrated the movements of swinging the racket in the horizontal direction and chopping the tree stump in the vertical direction respectively. The difference between the two was clear at a glance.

"So here you need to feel the longitudinal force, and then use the sweet spot technique to transform it into a horizontal force."

"As for why I want you to stay in that state," Brand paused slightly, leaving the question unanswered.

"There are two purposes. One is to strengthen your spirit." He patted his chest, emphasizing the importance of spirit.

"Secondly, I want to stimulate the potential of your muscles, joints, and ligaments in the power chain." He pointed to the joints of his arms and legs.

"Also, the reason why we chose a racket for this training is mainly to make you more familiar with the racket." Brand continued,
