Thank you for your content. It is the perfect way for us parents getting a tool to create a great conexion with our kids. Big thank you from the bottom of my heart from brazil.
You are welcome!!!🙏
This is awesome
🔥 Thanks Again! Had to find the First video. I like this for my Four year old and including me 😂
When I was filming this, it was new information for me too :)
Amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
How do you feel about not having the open stance? I learned get sideways and racquet back?
For little kids we start teaching close stance first. It is more natural and easier for them to understand. Close stance gives you more power with less effort. Close stance is a basic for tennis. Open stance makes you lazy on your foot work.
Can't believe I had not subbed on TH-cam Yet love these drills❤ Thanks for the knowledge always...
Thanks for your feedback
I just watched the top 9 year old girl in the state of wisconsin win a midwest 12U Lolita Paley she would give him fits 😮.. he looks good overall..
worst 5 k ever spent

Open/lose wrist at Alex´s age is a comlete no-go, even for older and advanced players it is often a problem to handle. And Alex sounded from minute 3:00 already that his pulse was always in the red-zone. "you are playing already like a pro", when I listen this nonsense to a young kid of his age, I don´t know if I should laugh or cry... for sure, it is important to motivate young ones, but these words put also a big pressure on these little souls. I saw yesterday a small kids-tournement, were many young one´s cryed heavyly after losing, all were under 10 years. Next to this small-ones-tournement was an adult-tournement, where in the final 2 older teenagers fought eachother. One was also crying, because of pain (17-18 years, already top 300 in the national open ranking) and give up later. She was always looking to her mother/father watching outside... but continued, until she couldn´t handle the pain. And a friend of me, is the personal coach of one Top6 - U16 girl, open national ranking alreay around 160. She practises min. 4-5 times a week, weekends playing tournements and already has body-problems/injuries at her back. She will never become pro, but the pressure by parents is big. For kids, it should be fun, playing tennis, sure, the technical foundation is important to get as early as possible, but that kind of drilling under age of 13/14 years is questionable... I also think, Vas is doing a great job, because of his calm mentality.
First, I really wanted Vas to be at the lesson with Patrick, but he couldn’t come because it was last minute thing and he had a lesson at that time. Yes you can hear Alexe’s breathing of course because he has mic right on him all the time. Right now we do more fitness and less tennis though. It is ok to get tired. Alex is running 5k and 10k because he likes to run. Every kid is different it doesn’t apply for every one. Alex is a type of kid that puts pressure on himself all the time on competitions, we parents and coaches here to take pressure off him. Right before the training, Patrick was trying to relax Alex, everyone would get nervous and Alex was. Patrick did a great job starting very positive even on Alex’s mistakes if Alex would hit long out, Patrick would say, “you playing nice and deep, try to add more spin” It is a hard job for Patrick. first part where they were playing - this video is just assessment, Patrick has to see, what the kid can and what can’t. After, he just gives his opinion on what he would work on. And later in next parts I will show what they were working on. I honestly think and I’m not a tennis coach, it was done right. And the thing about “you look like a pro” it is a compliment to Alex and Vas. But I agree with everything you commented about pressure. I will definitely ask Vas to watch this video so he can share his opinion. Thanks for the comment.
@@AlexTheTennisPro I noticed it already, that Alex is wearing a micro, otherwise anybody could hesr the breathing. For sure, it is normal as a young kid, to be nervous to practise with a "famous coach" like Moroutuglu, I also like to watch his vids, sometimes for entertainment, sometimes you can integrate parts of it in my training-sessions. But, and that is a big but, in his vids, the players kids are already mostly perfect educated, normally top10% of their age-groups, so he is only adjusting small parts. And he does it, because he has a big circus to finanance with his tennis-schools, what is legit, but everybody should know before. Vas is doing in my eyes a top-job with your son, he explaines everything and has a nice calm way. So wish you and Alex all good and even if he is not becoming a pro, what only 0,0001 % will reach, he still should have fun in doing his passion 🙂
How many Professional Top 10 and Grand Slams players have you trained ?
I hope Alex prioritize his coach word not this business man advisor. I love all the videos I watched working with him, he’s one of a kind savvy tennis trainer!!!!! Bavooo, pishhh, voila 😅
Nice compliment for coach Vas right here. Can’t say anything bad about Patrick though. Both coach and business side :)
I count maybe 6 cameras. Very elaborate post production work.
Patrick also was surprised ;) I brought 3 cameras and Patrick got a person with 2, so we got 5 angles total :)
I don’t think this is a normal 3 year old
Do you agree with coach Vas about split step?
I agree about the split step and how you should try to stay low every time, however, I feel like coach Vas is making him get too low. If you rewatch the video, you can see how Alex struggles to move side-to-side or into the ball because he was too low. Therefore, every time coach wants him to move into the ball, it's almost impossible to because he was too low on his knees. Also one more thing I'd like to add is when you go low on your knees, you'd want to lean in to the front leg and then push forward, instead of bouncing straight up. This will also help him to get the balls deeper into the courts because you're able to keep the ball in your racket for longer by going into the ball after you swing (this is what people call "drive"). At minute 26:47, you can see he's hitting it correctly by turning his body into the shot and the ball lands deeper into the court. But at around 18:44, like I mentioned above, since Alex was too low on his knees, he struggles to step into the ball. This combined with what I said about how the purpose of the knee bend is to push forward into the ball, not just to bounce up and down (coach Vas should have clarified this), the ball hits the net. This is just based on my own observations and I could be wrong, since I probably don't have the amount of teaching experience like coach Vas, however, my observations are from 10+ years of playing and 3 years of college tennis, so I'd say Alex and his dad can try this out on their own time to see how he feels, then maybe talk to the coach about it. I can see that Alex has the potential to be a great player, and I wish him all the success in his tennis journey!
Do you agree with Patrick?😮
My mom makes me mini sandwiches 😂😂
Yes it was funny!
I think its a good lesson but this kid less often turning up for a normal day lesson, she is well advanced. Most of the kids would burn out of these many technical stuff, it's from my experience!
great work! 🎾
Good coaching, a little tough on the kid 😢 The kid fortunately is taking it all well
Great work keep going!!
Great mam basic techniques are soo good ❤
When you say drop . Is the racket dropping by itself do you have to lower the wrist ? My son is playing with 265 grams when he loosens the wrist and grip racket would not drop what if he holds a heavier racket it would drop down by itself what should we do thank you
hi im Konstantin from tmx
Hey there!
Great stuff 👏
You're a great coach. I'm teaching my daughter, and I've learnt from you how to be patient, how to encourage, how to communicate and how to make children think. Thank you so much for this video series!

You can hear the pain in his voice when he talks about transitioning from competitive play to retail. A super sad truth but..... thank you for the awesome video still.
You are very welcome 🙏
❤great staff
I love your videos. Very appreciative ❤
Every child should go through this training. They would be better at every sport and not just tennis.
Alex is a great talented student with great potential. Even though, I am not so sure about the coach???. Even though the coach might know very well what he is saying and what he wants to achieve, I would challenge the coaching style which is not enjoyable for the student. There is not any fun or real excitement during the lessons and the student is made to feel too often frustrated by the coach, who is continuously focused on the negatives. Alex is not exposed to new situations and is then helped by the coach to find the best solution for the situation. That would help Alex much more to build up his confidence and improve his problem-solving skills. During the real matches, Alex will need those skills to become a great champion. The coach cannot play for him, the coach cannot give him solutions during matches,...the player does ( if those skills have been developed). I think a student can be "pushed" to work much harder and make much faster progress if you as a coach can keep a positive attitude and make the student excited about the good results and achievements. Everything should come from within to be the most effective. Good luck, Alex! For you, the sky is the limit,...with the right coach and attitude.
This is great! Using for my high school lower level teams
This is great coach..
This coach is fantastic
Each times I think about something I found the perfect video 🎉🎉🎉
