I'm getting on in years. When I played a lot in my younger days we didn't have the internet. I used to have to read a coaching book in order to improve. Now you can watch great lessons like this. What a fabulous resource! My message to youngsters is "Make the most of it"! When it's raining and you can't get out to play, watch these videos!
Nick, you and Anna have become our favourite instructors in a little Norwegian tennis club that has no coach! Your fantastic videos are a big help for training and inspiring our beginners. A big thank you from Narvik!
Anna’s the best. Love watching you teach her. You’re so good at knowing exactly what most beginners tend to do, and then more importantly, how to correct the behaviors.
Baby steps...Crawl, walk, run...nothing better than a enthusiastic student paired with a knowledgeable and equally enthusiastic🎾coach/instructor. Keep up the good work Nikola.👍🎾💥💪
Hey Nick, I watched several other tennis coaches on TH-cam, but you definitely have the most powerful way to make things simple and to make sense to us as recreational players. The way you explain and demonstrate is concise and makes so much sense that I am being able to improve a lot of my movements just by watching you! Thanks for your work!
And having these types of videos where you see a student learn and apply the technique he teaches is so helpful. I feel like this one caused a light bulb to go off over my head.
Intuitive tennis is by far the best tennis channel for technique lessons. Coach is so clear and concise, breaking down each component in detail. Anna is a great example.
what's beautiful about ANNA is her positive and enthusiastic attitude, which makes her learn very fast and well execute the instruction. no strain and fluidity gave a good result. The coach is TOP.
This teacher is a master of concise, clear instruction. I am getting back in the game at age 57 after about twenty-five years. These videos are superb.
I like the way you pick a player with a particular weakness and coach them and they don’t just get better but perfect and unbelievably all this happens in just a 10-15 mins long video. Amazing. 🙌🏼👌🏽👍🏼
Game changer in this all this lesson was when the coach said "now it doesnt have to be far away, it can be close" that's when atleast her fore hand had a huge turn around. Coaches have a tough job to transform somebody into something else kudos to you coach..
Her original swing was the traditional straight back with racquet head drop. Kind of like the path of opening and closing a door. If I remember correctly the take back style that Nick describes as a loop has also been referred to as drawing the letter C to describe the path the racquet takes. Although it’s called a modern forehand I believe that it has been evolving for a while. I can remember playing against guys 20 years ago who used semi western grip, open stance and hit heavy top spin. These videos offer top notch professional instruction so let’s not forget to mention that Nick has been a certified PTR teaching pro for a long time. It’s one thing to demonstrate the correct stroke but his real skill is knowing how to help his student hit the stroke correctly. This student has lots of athletic ability and followers direction.
The best of the best of the best video ever i have seen, which explains a firm technique of forehand. The best part is showing common mistakes made by the players and how to get away from those. Very helpful.
What I like in your videos are those small details you always talk about, in this one, you talked about a sprinter arms. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 I always have plenty of Qs on why this, why that. Thanks to your details, I get my Qs answered. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Hello! I'm new to tennis and just starting to make my first steps in the sport. Your videos have been an invaluable source of knowledge for me. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise!
Very helpful to see the unedited back and forth interactions and tinkering of the stroke until it was proper. Helpful to see her struggling and you addressing it etc. A real lesson. Not just a presentation of what to do. Thanks
Just want to give my thanks to both you and Anna. I've watched all of your forehand videos at this point and watching a student learn the correct technique was very helpful for me. I have a decent forehand but I'm not getting the dominant shoulder out front. I think I had a hitch because I was focusing on the guidelines of 'treat the butt cap like a flashlight shining on the ball' and trying to set my wrist that way instead of finding that position intuitively. I think I've made a huge step forward with my forehand and getting a lot more power and spin on it. Second, I want to comment about the sleeves that Anna was wearing. Sun safety is very important, and I get so sick of internet criticism that isn't constructive. I say do whatever you have to do to protect your skin. Health comes first.
Just wanted to let you know that I tried some of these techniques with my 7 yr old daughter, and it has greatly improved her power. I really appreciate what you are doing for the community.
I like these lessons, a genius idea , rather than showing whats right we are seeing how to correct whats going wrong. Congrats, very informative and also attracting. I hope Anna keeps taking lessons and develop
Such a great coach, very clear and great explanation of movement. Anna just wants to do it right and it’s great seeing her putting the lesson to practice and hitting the forehands with correct technique! Well done keep it going guys!
The one unique thing that I like about your videos is that you explain some little details which as you mentioned maynot exactly be wrong but can be done in a better way and actually improve the overall game a lot!!!
She is so beautiful and doing well with her tennis 🙂 You just don't know how much I struggle with this. Going into the unit turn in time to hit the forward accurately. Thank you so much for this -- I will practice the movements in my home.
Thank you for these instructional videos! They are very helpful. I just started playing this year. It was something I wanted to add on top of getting back into league soccer. It's the challenge I needed as paramedic recovering and coping with PTSD.p I have been playing wall tennis at least 2 times a week and a tennis instructor was already amazed at my technical ability when I met up with him for some pointers and even my first match. These videos are great!
Excellent explanation about racket movement to create momentum. I've just know it from this video 👍. Hope can see the progress of Anna forehand ability next time.
I was taught shoulder position. Theres a shoulder position for the forehand and backhand. Each player has a slightly different looking shoulder position, but its fundamentally as described here. Andre agasi backhand has a textbook shoulder position.
You do realise this is planned,edited,acting going on right. You are seeing what they want you to see...no client want to be videoed without their consent...but good coaching though...
Great lesson patiently explained. I will be working on the loop next time I play, as I suspect my forehand is currently like Anna's at the start of the lesson!
Really heard to unlearn a grooved-in technique - in this case her underswing forehand. I know - Ive been there ! Great to see her through this video unpack and rebuild it. It'll definitely come - she's then just got to groove it in. When she does she'll get so much more power and so much less fatigued. Keep up the great sessions, coach !
Anna's a great student , wants to get involved and ask questions to learn Big improvement also on the free arm and tracking the ball , great job both of you . Practice will make perfect for sure ! 👌
I really believe that your coaching videos are great for beigginers. I would appriciate that you post some of them inverted since for lefties like me is kind of hard to get the same movements right and there aren't much left handed videos on youtube.
Watch these videos on your tv set, but not directly, use a mirror. That way you are going to see Anna hitting the ball as a lefty. I do that in my living room.
i think these are more helpful than some advanced videos. i think mentally initiating the forehand swing by pulling the left shoulder around makes a ton of sense for me. before, i was trying to think to initiate by pushing my right hip through but it has a much worse feeling.
This coach is for REAL. He is one of the best coach you can find out there. I learned so many good techniques for just watching his videos. I'm wondering how much does he charge per hour? $200?
Bir çok videoda performans oyuncusuyla yapılanların aksine başlangıç seviyesinden alıp modern forehand vuruş tekniğinin nasıl öğrenildiğini gösteren ender videolardan biri. Daha gerçekçi süper olmuş.
Hi coach, do you think if she took her left arm and brung it back with her right arm she would be able to hit through the ball cleaner and have more control? You are an awesome coach and I appreciate your great work on your videos and teaching. Thank you
@@IntuitiveTennis I had that same issue my friend. You are a great teacher and I have learned a lot from you thus far. I did see her using her left arm, and turning into the ball with her hips to generate power much easier. I have been training to get back into shape so I can play in tournaments again. I had two hip replacements and I have a plate in my left shoulder. I am doing this to show other disabled people that they can still do things in life, with faith in GOD, and will power. Also learning from super nice people like yourself. GOD bless you and yours my friend. Thank you

Glad to hear that 💯🙏
Hey, coach. You tell less than others, but teach much more than anyone. It's not a compliment, but a fact.
Anna’s the best. Love watching you teach her. You’re so good at knowing exactly what most beginners tend to do, and then more importantly, how to correct the behaviors.
Well said 🎾👀
His coaching is incredible, but she is an amazing student! Pays attention and takes instruction super well.

happy to hear that. im 57 n picking up my racquet again since high school days.
Me too.
Love this coach. Clear, simple, just enough talk, not cluttered info. And she's so kinetically intuitive!!!
This teacher makes things simple. Very good explanation. Anna is a great student.
🙏
You are an effective coach and Anna is a fast learner, it's so satisfying to see her improve right away

That was sweet, you have a nice manner with her. That last rally was COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from her earlier forehand - Great job, NIck!
the only vid tut needed for any beginner in TH-cam for the mod forehand!
We started playing tennis thanks to this channel. Hi from Russia!
🙏
Amazing! Accurate!
I’m back to Tennis from years not playing . Anna and tips has helped me a lot.

It's beautiful to see how happy amd joyful Ana is playing tennis.
Excellent instruction. I liked how you gave a new starting point to help with the swing progression. Can’t wait to try this.
Thanks for the detailed explanation, it's very clear and instructive.
What I like in your videos are those small details you always talk about, in this one, you talked about a sprinter arms. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 I always have plenty of Qs on why this, why that. Thanks to your details, I get my Qs answered. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wow complete transformation from when she first hit in the beginning of the video. Amazing job !
Yay for SPF protection, neat to hear you both talk about sun safety as well. Should be mentioned more often in outdoor videos.
Exactly.
Hello! I'm new to tennis and just starting to make my first steps in the sport. Your videos have been an invaluable source of knowledge for me. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise!
Teaching-with-a-student video is great for showing the corrections. Thanks to Anna too for helping many many learners.
You're such a great coach. Your ability to fix her forehand in one session was amazing
Very helpful to see the unedited back and forth interactions and tinkering of the stroke until it was proper. Helpful to see her struggling and you addressing it etc. A real lesson. Not just a presentation of what to do.
Thanks
The best tennis lessons in TH-cam.
For beginners player and all levels.
Tks for share.

My coach just made someone else captain and I was looking for vids like this to make a comeback and this vid helped me a lot
The best part about this drill is it also has her instinctively brush over the ball giving it the draw or slight spin you see. Excellent lesson.
Great to see a complete session. The instructor has to work hard and be patient.
That last rally was amazing. Super early unit turn and effortless swing!
Great foundation instructions we can all learn from, and a great student as well, well done.
WONDERFUL TUITION,I AM ENJOYING IT WHILE IN THE OFFICE
Always enjoy watching your videos and how you give us little tips!!

Can’t wait for this weekend to play and practice this techniques!!!
🔥

Anna is improving a lot! It helps with a good coach.
Woow the way you teach how to back swing the racket is amazing. I just saw it here
She is so beautiful and doing well with her tennis 🙂 You just don't know how much I struggle with this. Going into the unit turn in time to hit the forward accurately. Thank you so much for this -- I will practice the movements in my home.

Great job to both! Grettings from Poland 🎾🎾🎾
Excellent follow throughs on those forehands, that should propel ball deep into the court
Great lesson. Anna showed great improvement with your lessons.
Anna is so adorable and cute.
Man your vídeos are great, wish i had a coach like you when i was younger
I can only imagine the level of play I could have achieved in my teens when I spent every day on court if I had a teacher like this...
Ok this is the perfect video for me! Wish my sunday coach spotted this issue in my forehand
Nice one. I like the way how u give a simple instructions.
how quickly Anna improved!
Great video! Was really nice to see her progression.
Excellent explanation about racket movement to create momentum. I've just know it from this video 👍. Hope can see the progress of Anna forehand ability next time.
I enjoyed this video. Every move is explained very well, highlighting what the common mistakes are. Well done!!! Thanks!!!
oh yeah, Anna's back ! Great added value to your channel ;-)
Anna’s front is nice too! 🤩
@@jsonlee01 hmm.. that was not my point, but anyways
@@TheRomeogigli it sure sounded like thats what u meant lol
OH yeah!
@@powellsa Nice shinebox.
ㅁThe tennis lesson video is also very informative.Thank you for everything.I'll come often!!
Well done Anna, massive improvement during the session! 💪🎾🙂
not gonna lie that's a big bicep there
I was taught shoulder position. Theres a shoulder position for the forehand and backhand. Each player has a slightly different looking shoulder position, but its fundamentally as described here. Andre agasi backhand has a textbook shoulder position.
Amazed she picks stuff up that quickly..
The exercises did all the work, this could work to everyone. Excellent job!
are you fucking kidding? she takes forever to grasp simple concepts. just because she's hot doesn't mean you can give her false compliments.
You do realise this is planned,edited,acting going on right. You are seeing what they want you to see...no client want to be videoed without their consent...but good coaching though...
Great lesson patiently explained. I will be working on the loop next time I play, as I suspect my forehand is currently like Anna's at the start of the lesson!
Thanks for this video. Haven't played much tennis in months due to covid and my game deteriorated. Getting back to the basics... 😔

Großartiges Video. Toll zu sehen, wie Anna Fortschritte macht, weiter so :)
Danke Ralf
You’re such an amazing coach . Awesome. You make the technique to become easier . 😍
Thank you 🙏
Thank you coach. Excellent explanation
Excellent video; I wish I had had a coach like you years ago. Thank you for posting this.
Very good Nikola , I like your explanation , pozdrav from Melbourne !
Hvala 🙏
Great teacher, great lesson 👍
Very useful lesson...Apreciate!
Hey Anna you are playing well. Thanks to the coach.
Great tip with the loop over the racket for the forehand 👍🏻 thank you Nick ❤️

That face to face racquet drill is genius! The only way to hit correctly is doing the loop the proper way. Great teaching!
