It's tough. I have stopped all 1-1 and group coaching. I basically decided to take two months off and hope things start to go back to normal in June. I did have a player suggest watching him play with a robot via a live stream and suggesting feedback. But this is difficult to do well without being in the room. I know some coaches are doing video analysis. This could work if the players you coach have a table + robot or partner at home and are willing to pay for it. Just for my own sanity, I am going to be doing daily workout sessions - aerobic, shadow play and some discussion of technique. More info here...

Hey Tom, firstly I would like to tell you that I follow all your videos right from the time you started posting them on YouTube. The quality of your presentation and content has increased and it has become better and better with each and every post. It really shows your hard work and dedication and I must congratulate you for the fantastic and selfless work which you are doing to help players around the world.
In these testing time, me and family eagerly await for your home video series. I am a father of a young kid and we both enjoy watching and listening to your ideas. You home videos series is a real treat to watch.
I faced a recent problem, I basically learned a lot of strokes on my own, and some of them are kind of efficient and others are not.
For example, I have serves which are having good spin but I don't integrate my body rotation in my serves. So now if I try to do it, then everything seems to fall apart. I think that every other player, who is trying to improve some part of their game would have experienced it as well. May be if you think it is okay, then please touch base on this topic -
1. How to effectively use online learning videos?
2. What to watch at each level and what NOT to idealize?
3. How to bring about a change, how to break the problem into smaller parts and work on each of them and then put it all together?
Sorry, if I am bothering you. I saw your post and couldn't help myself from typing my response. I believe that in these testing times, life is too short not to express my gratitude and I am really thankful for all your help and motivation.
Stay safe and stay healthy.
