Foot Fault

Foot Faults!
A Serious No-No!
I frequently watch players on the club level in particular FOOT FAULTING on service to various degrees. What concerns me even more is I see coaches in various positions/levels who do not seem to be concerned about the players they coach FOOT FAULTING either regularly or intermittently.
FOOT FAULTING is NEVER ACCEPTABLE!
This is a major annoyance and pet peeve of mine!
I know I will likely ruffle some feathers here but you are not a serious legitimate player or coach if you habitually foot fault or allow it while instructing a player on service!
It is Lazy, a Terrible Habit and is 100% avoidable by proper technique!
Everyone has probably stumbled or lost their focus on a particular service but I would encourage all players on all levels to get it out of their game!
Anchor your feet and base, keep the body calm and quiet and DO NOT FOOT FAULT!
