Relaxation is consisted of two elements: mental and physical. Mental relaxation comes from confidence, which in turn comes from physical ease of using strength. Assumably, if physical ease is achieved, mental tension will go away by itself. So the real issue is physical ease. What is the difficulty in 发球? If it is a little similar as strike piano keys (most times multiply keys with the small hands of kids) with force and unimaginable speed(velocity),I can say something about it. If it is not, then just ignore my post. Body is the base of throwing out or striking out. If it is tensed up before the mini second of striking, the muscle is already too tense to generate the ultimate strength and speed. So the key is to wait for that moment to really focus and tense up and immediately relax after that and get ready for the next movement. So how she feels before striking and after striking, especially after striking, indicate how relaxed (how ready ) her body is. So maybe you can try the approach of checking how relaxed after the striking. I found that when I told my daughter to relax before striking the key, she tenses up. She told me that "Mom, trying to relax makes me tense up". So I asked her to relax after striking and she found she could not and that told me how tense she was. So we worked on relax immediately after striking and ignored the before striking relax part. She was able to find the sensation of relax and was able to apply it to the "before striking". Also when they try hard to relax, relaxation itself becomes a burden and affect to achive the natural state of awareness (which is the true meaning of relax, not relax in terms of sleeping, but the relax state of a lion trying to approch its prey quietly from behind). So one approach I have used is to tell her just try to relax a very short time before the striking. Don't worry about relax long before striking. Make it a "small relax". This way it is not too big of a task for her and seems more managable. Another difficulty in teaching relaxation is to describe it with many different words, just telling her to relax may not work. You have to explain to her what is the "relaxation" you have imagined for her. An example from piano playing is that, just before she striking the keys, listen to the moment of silence. In spacial terms, it is the emptyness background. And in terms of timing, it is the sudden movement from nowhere. In terms of muscle, it is the effortless bounce back of the impace right after striking. After the isolation of movement, there is the concern for transition to next movement and also economy of movements. How to eliminate extra movement and how to combine multiple movement into one to take the advantage of kinesis, and the list goes on and on. My belief is that as long as you know what to achieve, there is a way to do it. If you cannot do it whole, do it partially first. If you cannot do it directly, do it indirectly. But I think it is even harder to relax in playing tennis because it requires more strength and more speed than playing piano or maybe more rapid response time. Hope tiny bit of those ideas can be helpful.
