WOOOOOOWWWW!!!!! What a privilege to have Venus as a teacher. Ok, because of this, she’s my favorite tennis player ever. Do you know how humble someone has to be in order to be teaching PRICELESS CLASSES online, after having been world number one, which means you could charge whatever you want for a class?
Venus, you're so generous to do this. Years ago I was in Key Biscayne and you tapped me on the shoulder and said excuse me so you could go watch a match. I think your touch blessed my serve. I have been rooting for you every time you played. I truly believe that you can occupy courts at any tennis facility and people will fight to get your knowledge. Not to mention the added prestige to the club due to your presence. You're a legend, others do it without your credentials. Best wishes to you and warmest thanks.
I love how she doesn’t charge for it. Meanwhile there’s Patrick Mouratoglou and everything he does is just to promote his business. Glad Serena dropped him!
@@spillominaAs I recall, Venus and Serena were champions winning majors and many other events before I ever heard the name Patrick. I didn't see what he had to offer. And, Venus has one of the best Volleys in the game. People have forgotten about her unbelievable hands. McEnroe has an academy and he's still using a continental grip....
Hi, Venus. Excellent explanation and demonstration as usual. I would just like to see a camera angle from behind you so we could actually see the trajectory of the ball and where it lands on the service court vs the regular serve. I hope it won't be too complicated for your camera crew. Thanks so much for taking the time and giving us all the gift of knowledge. You're a great teacher.
Hi Venus - as a technical tennis coach - who coincidentally uses most of your style (I've only just found your channel), the way you describe your details is so very simple - by far the best and most effective way to show a learning player. I have always found that keeping it logical and simple is the most successful and efficient way for someone to understand and put into practise. In the UK (my country) the LTA thrive on making things ridiculously complicated and that is why the UK has virtually no decent players - our obvious successes have come from them going elsewhere for their fine tuning (Murray etc). I/we do not teach British Tennis, never have. I was brought up through the USPTR many years ago and subsequently added various european approaches. By far the best pathway. This has been more entertaining than I expected. Thank you.
I really appreciate these videos. I've been playing for two years and it's nice to have a world-class player breaking the shots down for the rest of us. Thanks!!
I love these...they are literally the best serve tutorials on youtube. The previous serve tutorial has made my serve way more consistent...no cap. Please keep doing these, folk like me really benefit.
The beauty of the lesson by Venus is that she translates her vast knowledge and experience in to the wording understandable for beginners - straight to the point. In that short video I found many tips I never heard about while watching instructions by others for years. Good job, Venus!!!
Just think there will be future champions watching these videos right now who will then cite Venus as having helped their game when they started out. Ive never seen any world number one player do free coaching like this, shes a good person for doing it.
Are you going to post more tennis tutorials? I’m loving what you have given us so far. Your explanations are definitely easier to understand than anyone else I have ever watched. Thanks SO much!
Venus I love the videos. How about some “slow motions” and/or “close ups” specially when hitting the ball… to see the point of contact and pronation. Ty for sharing your wisdom and experience ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much, Venus! I started playing in January, something I’ve wanted to do since I was a kid but couldn’t afford to do. Decades later and I’m finally going after it. I love it so much I ended up working my way up to playing 5-6 times a week. Could you do a video about how to care for your wrist, elbows, etc.? Not just warm ups and cool downs but what your entire routine is around this?
I watch this in awe… just super amazed to be getting your insight and tennis tips after decades of watching you and Serena dominate on the court! Much love & Thanxoxo! Happy Holidays
Best teacher ever! it's amazing how you're able contextualize the "why" some steps must be done a certain way, not just because... I'm learning and applying this stuff on the court and reaping better results. Thank you Venus :)
She is The Best Teacher Ever, I said the same thing just now hahaha... "Best Teacher Ever! OMG Venus you could tech us ANYTHING, you are just born to be a teacher... Love you a lot, Im Brazilian and English is my second language but the way you teach, all your methodologist is so specific, natural e enjoyable, fun at the same time... You are Best Teacher Ever!!!!
I'm enjoying watching these techniques be explained by someone who has competed, (and of course succeeded), at the highest level. Very interesting to hear it from your perspective, Venus. You asked for us to tell you what we like and don't like, and I wanted to suggest some slo-motion shots during these explanation videos. I think that would help the viewer even more and give us more time to see exactly how to execute the steps. With or without slo-mo, I'm looking forward to more!
Best Teacher Ever! OMG Venus you could tech us ANYTHING, you are just born to be a teacher... Love you a lot, Im Brazilian and English is my second language but the way you teach, all your methodologist is so specific, natural e enjoyable, fun at the same time... You are Best Teacher Ever!!!!
Venus you are not only an amazing player and person, but also a great coach!!! Your previous video about the serve really helped me a lot and I am going to try your tips about the kick serve soon, for sure. You and Serena are a true inspiration and keep being such a great human! Thank you!!!
Thank you again for sharing! Your videos are so easy to follow and understand. Your truly a kind person to take your time and share! Not many other pros would.💕👍
Nice to realize that you are a rare and genuinely nice sports person who wants to share knowledge in detail. Most others choose to go about their life while forgetting their admirers / fans.
Your videos have three interest things. You know well what you are teaching, you make it simple and above all you do it graciously.Go on with this register!
I'm back. Yes I now have the piece I was missing. I served some good kick serves one out of 8 or 10. Now I can spend the rest of my life improving the percentage!
Thank you so much for the tips Venus. You have no idea how much I truly appreciate the time you put into your content, especially as a legend tennis player. You make it so easy go understand. I'm a junior player myself, 12 years old, and using these techniques on the court. Truly a blessing!!
This has been the most helpful kick serve video! Steps for kick serve made easily to understand. I always come back to watch it Explaining contact as a clock and hitting at 7 has help much with serve execution. Really appreciate content like this! Keep up the awesome tennis info
I've never played tennis but have been a fan of it for about 20 years. I just love to watch it. I've heard the announcers mention "kick serve" and "slice" countless times but never really understood what they were talking about. Until this video. Thank you, Venus, for making me a more knowledgeable fan & making the sport even more enjoyable to watch than it already was.
Very interesting. You are an amazing teacher and I love how you break things down. It can't be easy for a champ to know so well what might trip beginners up and communicate in such a clear way. I think you have the talent to be a coach.
Sharing this tight away with several friends who are learning tennis in their 40s and they need something like this. Very simple and realistic explained. Thanks, Venus! A big friendly Venezuelan Hug for you
Please don’t. Love Venus but this doesn’t really help in getting the fundamentals of an advanced serve such as the kicker. There are more detailed videos out there that go into depth as to execute this properly
Thanks for posting Venus. It's great to see you can simplify this serve, it's probably my weakest. I've noticed while you play matches that your rhythm and flexibility is amazing and it's great to see you still have this. It means you can demonstrate what you are explaining!
High quality language...and voice delivery...one of the best of all tennis video productions... At first you are not sure if this a tennis player or a professional journalist... the video is loaded with content &golden nugget secret' tips on how to execute and/ or improve your most difficult shot in tennis
It's sounds so simple to say remember to aim that way but it's so important! So many steps to strokes yet we need to actually focus on hitting that bad boy to the location we want
So nice of you to share your tennis knowledge! One little critic is to frame the video so we don't loose sight of the ball when it is at its highest. Thank you so much!
You rock Venus. Your knowledge is so impressive. To me, the kick serve is the hardest serve for the amateur because it takes a level of athleticism that comes natural to you but not so much to club players. For me a slice serve was always the easiest and seems to be for seniors as well. I always struggled with my wrist pronation. Thanks so much for your time and expertise. I harken a kick serve in tennis to a hard draw in golf. A draw is a much harder shot for an amateur to hit compared to a fade because it takes another level of athleticism to turn behind the ball at the top and fully release the club through impact.
I couldn’t believe I have been watching since I was little and I Bering watching your videos recently to learn how to sever and over all be a good tennis player. Then, my first day at my tennis practice i me you the Great @venus Williams ❤❤ thank you for inspiring little girl like me❤
Your videos will help many kids who are new to the sports, especially those who cannot afford (a lot) coaching time. You are a true beauty inside and out, thank you!
Wow, thank you. You definitely have the gift for reaching different level players. Explanations and visual example are great teaching ability. So nice to back it up and watch for everything you verbally touched on.
I grew up watching you play and got into tennis because of you. I played throught high school but stopped during college. Rencently I got back into tennis again and here I am learning from the best! Thank you for being such an inspiration! Love from Portugal!
Super video. This is the more challenging serve and is still a work in progress. Many thanks to Venus for helping the rest of us understand the basics of a kick serve
Thanks for another excellent video lesson. You're a natural teacher! I'm currently working on my kick serve and this was super helpful in tying all the different pieces together. It was helpful to see your serve both head on and from the side. That being said, it would also be helpful to see a close-up of your contact with the ball a couple of times. Keep 'em coming. Maybe a video on volleys?
unbelievable Venuse these videos Are beyond anyone can make, it's not about my game, its about giving it back, I first saw you and your sister in Rome in maybe in 2004, I love your instructions
Taking my nieces to the tennis court here teaching them to play but I'm first learning myself and listening to you i think i can really do this... thanks i love the game love you n serena
Venus, Thank you for your videos. As a suggestion, I guess it would be great to have a slow motion from behind so we could see for example the 7 o'clock contact and the pronation. And show the serve itself (the ball having an extra kick). Cheers and hope to see you in court again soon
Very nice description of the kick serve. It's the toughest to master. It's so nice to see you interacting with your fans and sharing your tennis wisdom. You look so beautiful. Every year you get better looking. Your sportsmanship is unmatched. The most graceful champion since Chris Evert.
amazing videos on the regular flat serve and kick serve. I have 3 kids that play tennis and they are inspired by you. we were hoping to see a slow motion of your shots to help the kids follow frame by frame how to hit the particular serve. your simple explanation on the videos has been really helpful. thank you for making these videos for us fans, rec players and our kids 🙂🎾.
Still can't believe a legend like Venus is out here on TH-cam dropping gems like this. What a time to be alive.
hello fellow tennis scholars
Amazing
Very very excellent explanation Venus. You hv a very warm and personable presentation.
En eso radica su grandeza en compartir tanto conocimiento es una mujer maravillosa
Venus has gifts on explaining complicate topics into bite size info that even beginners can understand well. 👍👍
This!!!!
🎯
No cap
No one ever told me that. Oh my goodness. Thank you 🙏
WOOOOOOWWWW!!!!! What a privilege to have Venus as a teacher. Ok, because of this, she’s my favorite tennis player ever.

@@spillomina well he will be back with Serena for Wimbly.
@@black_nebula Oh gosh no! Patrick is always up to no good. Serena should drop him
@@black_nebula Sasha Bajin would do much better as a coach for Serena!
Cant believe these lessons are free for us to practice with.. it’s a blessing
I would love to see more of you breaking down your past iconic matches like the 2005 Wimbledon final
Hi, Venus. Excellent explanation and demonstration as usual. I would just like to see a camera angle from behind you so we could actually see the trajectory of the ball and where it lands on the service court vs the regular serve. I hope it won't be too complicated for your camera crew. Thanks so much for taking the time and giving us all the gift of knowledge. You're a great teacher.

Thank you so much Venus!! The first video on serving helped me improve my serve so much, I can’t wait to use these tips next practice 🎾🎾
Great tip about leaving the toss in the same spot. More disguise if you adjust the body and not the toss. Loving the content Venus!
Absolutely
Are you going to post more tennis tutorials? I’m loving what you have given us so far. Your explanations are definitely easier to understand than anyone else I have ever watched. Thanks SO much!
Venus I love the videos.
How about some “slow motions” and/or “close ups” specially when hitting the ball… to see the point of contact and pronation.
Ty for sharing your wisdom and experience ❤️❤️❤️
Good job venus. Would love to hear match tactics against different types of players such as power players, defensive players etc.
She’s a Queen.. also the queen of tennis.. She will leave a great mark on this planet. Thank you ❤️
VENUS!! These videos are all coming in the clutch at the right time. Thank you a million times !!

Most Interesting & Extremely Useful. Thank You So Much, Ms Venus Williams. Keep On Thriving!💗
Thank you Venus. It is an excellent lesson.
That was an awesome lesson, thanks Venus !!
Thank you Venus! Love your videos. Please come back to the tour so we can watch you play again! We missed you.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It's such a warm feeling to hear techniques straight from the pros
These are the finest instruction videos by far. Thank you for your openness and for sharing your knowledge in such a simple manner.
A lesson with a mindset of a legend tennis player help a lot. Very easy to learn ❤
Venus,
Thank you for your videos.
As a suggestion, I guess it would be great to have a slow motion from behind so we could see for example the 7 o'clock contact and the pronation. And show the serve itself (the ball having an extra kick).
Cheers and hope to see you in court again soon
So grateful you are sharing your knowledge with us, Venus! The best!
Thank You Venus.... I've always enjoyed watching your athleticism and grace on the court.
Just loving your tutorials! I cannot believe we are getting lessons from this world-class player and world-class role-model!
More to come!
Thank you for your generosity in giving directions
Venus provides more details than other videos as pronate the wrist, where to hit the ball and strengthen abdominals.
Really in-depth pointers; actually didn’t know that much about tennis. I love following.
Very nice description of the kick serve. It's the toughest to master.
It's so nice to see you interacting with your fans and sharing your tennis wisdom. You look so beautiful. Every year you get better looking. Your sportsmanship is unmatched. The most graceful champion since Chris Evert.
amazing videos on the regular flat serve and kick serve. I have 3 kids that play tennis and they are inspired by you. we were hoping to see a slow motion of your shots to help the kids follow frame by frame how to hit the particular serve. your simple explanation on the videos has been really helpful. thank you for making these videos for us fans, rec players and our kids 🙂🎾.
