Magnet Mindset: Recover to Center, Live at the NVZ
Summary
Coach Matthew Haley (Selkirk TV) closes a positioning series with the magnet mindset. After you get stretched wide, recover to a small magnet near your home spot — don’t camp where the last ball took you.
The big magnet is the non-volley zone. Unlike tennis, the baseline is not the comfort level you want; short and middle balls that let your feet move forward should pull you toward the net.
Key takeaways
- Wide ball → recover to the small magnet, don’t linger
- Big magnet = NVZ; baseline is not home
- Short/middle balls: let momentum carry you forward
Action items
- After every wide get, say “magnet” and take the recovery steps before the next hit
- One game: ban lingering at the baseline after a short ball
