'Jigsaw Puzzle Theory' premieres on Tennis Channel

“On Court with USPTA” is the cable TV show produced by the United States Professional Tennis Association. In this episode USPTA Professional 1 Mark Bey shows you his Jigsaw Puzzle Theory. This theory is a developmental system that divides the game into 10 key pieces and is a blueprint for long-term growth. The show is loaded with information to help viewers become more well-rounded players. With practice, viewers will master the puzzle and go on to win more matches.
See what the pieces are and how they fit into four games that Bey uses with his players on a regular basis: Tug of War, Nine Lives, Doubles Countdown and You’ve Got No Guts. By utilizing the games demonstrated, your practice session will feel like match time and you’ll have a lot of fun. Even more, you’ll have a better understanding of what makes up a complete player.
