Turning rally practice into a shared goal

Make it practical.

Agree on the activity your coach has assigned and what you are counting. If the rally ends, restart calmly and remember the purpose of the exercise. Encourage your partner to focus on the same instruction.

Your session checklist

• Use the target set by your coach.
• Reset without blaming your partner.
• Keep track honestly if you are counting rallies.

A useful next step

Notice whether both players understood the goal and could contribute to the practice.
