1. Know Thyself To learn how to be a better tennis player, first know your current skill level. You can self-rate using the National Tennis Rating Program (NTRP), or get your actual NTRP rating officially determined by a qualified and certified teaching pro. Assess yourself at https://tennisclub.gsfc.nasa.gov/tennis.ratings.html
2. Assess Your Game After knowing your rating, review your game from all aspects. Identify your strengths, weaknesses and areas of inconsistencies. A coach can also help you in this regard. Coach Aslam
3. Set Goals With a proper assessment of your game, it is time to set your goals. In addition to general objectives, specific objectives is key to becoming a better tennis player.
