Necesito El Ritmo - The Importance Of Rhythm In The Spanish Method

“Necesito el ritmo,”—“I need (the) rhythm”—is a common phrase heard on the tennis court in Spain, both from players and coaches. Rhythm, cadence, timing, and control are essential aspects of the Spanish style of training.

—Control of the body

—Control of the swing and technique

—Control of the feet

—Control of the mind

—Control of the emotions.


What is rhythm and why is it important in Spain? How do you achieve good rhythm? Let’s explore Spanish rhythm in more detail!
