As a former d1 coach, I 100% agree with this video. I remember making a conscious effort to teach my players how to "play" tennis and not just hit balls. I have very specific templates that I use to help the players see the court like a gameboard for decision-making. I've had many of my players, one being a D1 National Champion, tell me that they use one specific template throughout their careers to help them tactically understand their play. You are on to something very important for teaching players how to play. I can't wait to watch all your videos. Thank you
K, this is an awesome comment to read! You know, as part of my channel I look to interview accomplished coaches and talk about tennis strategy + tactics podcast style. I recently did an interview with a guy who coached Robin Soderling and Monica Seles - Sounds like you have some cool experiences! Would you be interested in doing one of these with me? I'd love to highlight your perspective and give you the chance to share your experience with the channel!! 👀
Happy to give you more details about what the interview would be like too before you commit if you want! I think we could make something pretty cool though! I'll keep checking this comment thread!
Yeah, I've always been obsessed with tennis strategy and wished there was more out there, but I'm excited to keep developing it! I think I have some pretty unique stuff up my sleeves! haha 👀
You are truly a blessing, I’m so grateful I found you. At 59, I’m training and playing ITF Futures with the intention to get an ATP point and become the oldest male in history to be ranked. I’m gonna do it and thanks to you, I’m on my way. Thank you. A big bow of gratitude 🙏
Nice upload. I realize some of what you've already shared can be transposed to doubles, though maybe not so easily--any plans for content specific to doubles? Thanks and good luck...
Thanks - means a lot! I like to talk specifically, so I do have some great doubles stuff I'm looking forward to sharing! It's on the list! But I am starting with singles for a little bit! 🤷🏻♂️
finally something about tennis strategy. 99% of videos are about technique. The only resourse of tennis tactics I know is the wnning ugly book. One thing tho, I think it would be great to analyze videos of amateur matches aswell. Its a completely different game since there limited possibilities of strategies because of technique
I am planning on doing that for sure!! I tactually think ametuer tactics are sometimes more interesting because you see more of a variety. The pros have more in common than they have different, but recreational players use wildly different strategies sometimes. Anyway - keep an eye on the channel. I'm currently working on this! 🫡
@@tennistactics exactly! I agree! For example everyone talks about serve +1 forehand and thats great for pro players that have amazing serve and fh. This works for every pro. But im 5’7 and forehand is my bad shot, I have good bh with good angles so serve +1 forehand doesnt work for me. Amateur strategies are very different and varies so much. Looking forward for more content!
@@LaSalviaBodysurf I had an idea - I would love to have players film their matches using swingvision and then I could make a video analyzing the tactics - do you think people would be up for that? I could remove the names and just list the UTRs to give everyone more useful context. What do you think?
@@tennistactics I think that would be very helpful !! I dont know if that would attract more views for you than using pro players name on the thumbnail tho. But Im pretty sure it would be more helpful if someone is analyzing my match ( or some amateur match that people actually have flaws ) saying what I could have done better than telling what Federer does right. Again, dont know if that would be ideal for growing the channel, good luck!
@@LaSalviaBodysurf I want to do this - any chance you want to send me a swing vision match to analyze? You can upload them to the swing vision feed and I can watch the recording there! Pretty sure it works even with the free version!
Hey! Thanks for saying that! I will certainly be doing some doubles stuff!!! Its on my radar, but I have a few things planned in front of it, so be patient with me! I'm getting faster at making videos, but they still take some time! I have so much I want to get out though haha
Hey thanks, @papersurfer I'm excited to be building some really unique content in the tennis world, so I appreciate you checking out the channel and dropping me an encouraging comment like this! Lots more good stuff to come! 👊🏻
Looking over your website and wondering where you are located and if there is any way to get private lessons from you. Most coaches have it wrong. This is how to train.
Yes Im agree with you the technique is created from age from age of 3 up to age of 10-11 y.o. { the most complicated and hard to be done } that why all "champions creating" academy across the world like to work with the players from 12 y.o. and up ..... 😉
This is going to sound rude, but it's not meant to be. Great ideas, but you talk too much and show too little. Some visual examples, even if its just lines drawn on the court diagram, your points would be more clear.
Nope! Not rude - you are totally right! haha This was my earliest video I posted a couple weeks ago, but in my more recent ones I have been trying to do exactly what you are saying! I have been asking everyone for feedback though - I'd love to hear what you think about the more recent ones or if I should still keep going further in that direction!! I think I have world class ideas, but am trying to develop a world class delivery as well! The djokovic video or Daniel collins video are the most recent! Thanks!
Im so glad your content exist. Its truly what Tennis youtube needed. I'm at this place in my development where I need this information.
Glad to hear it!! Trying to roll out lots more content to keep helping people with tennis strategy and development!! 🫡
Tennis youtube needs this
This is my favorite comment! haha So stoked you liked it! More coming!
i love you video format, just binged all of your videos!
Thanks! I am loving teaching via video, it works so well with how I think!! I love being able to show people exactly what's in my head. haha

@@tennistactics I'd love to chat and see what I can bring to your table. ... or if it would even be interesting. Lol

You've found a niche in the tennis TH-cam space. Well done.
Yeah, I've always been obsessed with tennis strategy and wished there was more out there, but I'm excited to keep developing it! I think I have some pretty unique stuff up my sleeves! haha 👀
I’m in!
Yes!! More good stuff coming soon! Working on the next video! 👀
Mannn congrats, for starters that is a huge video quality
Thanks!! Working hard to make this pretty world class content, so hopefully they just keep getting better and better!
I agree that this is unique, have been looking for something like this for a while so looking forwards to more content.
Thanks so much for being interested! I appreciate hearing that more than you know! Lots more content on the way! I'm only getting started! 👊🏻
Great advice! Can't wait for more videos 😃
YES! More to come soon!
Fresh, new and obvious thoughts on the game! You are going to make it big on TH-cam. Looking forward to the next video.
A little bit of everything 😂 Thanks for the vote of confidence! Working on the next one!

Thank you!! Appreciate that feedback!
So good. Unique material here. On point!

“THIS IS HOW TO TRAIN.” - I love it, it’s so true. Haha
I love teaching one on one! If only I could travel around to everyone haha

And honestly that’s where the really specialized knowledge of how to win tennis matches comes in, instead oh just how to play.
