i like how you start the FH, BH from the contact point - without worrying much about ready position, swing path. quick natural way to start a fundamental swing. would wall hitting be a good way to start a beginner, since they can many hits per minute in?
I did this today and I played a game that I actually played well in. I'm still making some mistakes, I'm inconsistent with hitting it straight ahead. I hit it but it does go in an angle to the corners on the court where it's close to being out. Are there drills I can do to hit the ball perfectly straight?
THIS is a coach. Explaining the technic first, being patient and correcting your mistakes, not getting angry cause you don't already know how to swing or hold the racket and telling you that you shouldn't play tennis at all. I felt so bad after those words, but this guy right here is inspiring
That's is not a coach, that is just a person who knows tennis but doesn't know how to teach... don't bother with that. Find a new one and continue to practice. The problem is not you
What's up bro I've done something EXACTLY like this on my channel and have also had AMAZING results, even better, especially with the backhand - if you go check it out, you're mind is actually going to be blown! I'd really appreciate it - near perfect form in just one lesson!
I have played tennis for 40+ years. This is a spectacular instructional video. Even the little things like picking up a racquet off the ground is the proper forehand grip. Something I forgot until I saw this video (even though I still have a proper grip but I forgot about this simple lesson). That is exactly what my coach taught me decades ago. This guy is amazing and I am thankful for this video since I am now teaching my daughter how to play. It's the simple teaching techniques that make all the difference. Thanks to a million to "Intuitive Tennis"!!!

Starting tennis from zero, is very difficult. I think this is one of the biggest barrier to bring more people into enjoying tennis and making it their hobby. This video is really good, because by watching it I begin to believe that there is a 'fast' way of making beginner know how to play. Well not in the full scale of tennis match obviously, but at least to start hitting balls continuously. And hopefully tennis will be even a bigger sport in the future. Especially, where I live I am looking forward to see more people play tennis.
I have always believed that the coach and beginner need to be side by side on same side of net . So many coaches and there are so many really bad ones don't get it that the beginner pupil struggles with reversing the instruction and implementing it simultaneously from the far opposite side . this is a brilliant coaching session
I'm starting my tennis lessons next week, and this video makes me feel super excited. No matter how my training goes, I'll stick to this for a very long time. Best beginner video by far!
I hardly post comments on TH-cam. I am in my mid 30s and never played tennis before. I find your teaching/ Coaching methods so simple that I feel more comfortable and confident that I can learn it faster as I have started playing since last 2 months and without a coach. Keep up the good work Coach.
I actually had my very first tennis lesson last night, and this video was SUPER helpful. Thank you so much for creating free quality content! (And it was comforting to see the stuff I struggle with isn't just stuff I struggle with)!
Ms machine, whatever you do, don't quit playing tennis! It is one of the greatest, most personally satisfying as well as psychologically satisfying pastimes, hobbies, sports in which a human being can participate. You'll develop friendships and regular outings in the morning or evening. And you can play the sport for life.
This is amazing. I learned tennis as a kid in the early 90s. My awesome coach also coached Wally Masur when he was a kid. Now my wife wants me to teach her tennis but I have no clue how my coach stepped me through the basics and she refuses to "embarrass" herself with an actual coach. So I came to TH-cam hoping for some help with my first ever "coaching" gig. This is absolutely perfect. An amazing gift. Thank you.
She’s going to be 4.5 in no time with this coach’s awsome teachings. Foundation is so important. I’ve had a bad technique for years and it has been very hard to fix my forehand but now I’m getting there.

Took tennis in college and 20 years later, taking it up again. Loving these videos. Taking the rust off and fixing bad habits i had. Also teaching gf. Thank you sir. And this student is very quick learner and beautiful.
Because she adjusted right away to what he was saying and you see an improvement it's actually really helpful. No footwork yet, just contact points and follow thru. Great video dude!
i've just had the sudden random urge to learn tennis. i feel like i'm going through different hobbies and i want to try so many things, thank you for this lesson, it was very helpful :>
iam 72 years old and been playing tennis on and off since 16 years old.i regret that I have never had any coaching lessons. I can play, but play wrongfully. nick,you are a wonderful coach. I wish you were my coach then. congratulations, keep up the good work. I have watc
@Billie Eilish Edits yes it does! You'd be surprised if how well it helped me. I'm more comprehensive and understanding of the game now. I also have ALOT less questions after watching this video. 😁😅
People don't realize how difficult it is to teach beginners especially when they make slow progress. Hard job. I had that pleasure to teach my son from age 7 -10 . A lot of respect coach 😁

It's been hard to find this low level stuff on TH-cam. Greatly appreciated!!! I just picked up a racket and started playing with no lessons. This is great!
My wife just started playing tennis and she has been playing for a little over a week and she is a natural athlete and can play some basketball. I have been hitting with her and doing drills like this with her, and she is so excited about tennis, she texts me and says to me, hun are we going to play tennis tonight after work, and she actually motivates me from her new experiences in tennis. She has a natural one handed slice that paints the lines. I find when teaching others complaints go along way. This was a excellent video my friend. Thank you
This is truly unbelievably good. Wow, Anna has incredible natural athleticism, hand-eye coordination and body control. Most beginners I see spazz out when a live ball comes to them from across the net, but she handled the pace with such calm and control. Amazing! Well done, Anna!
What's up bro I've done something EXACTLY like this on my channel and have also had AMAZING results, even better, especially with the backhand - if you go check it out, you're mind is actually going to be blown - and both of these guys have no natural talent, athleticism, or coordination WHATSOEVER!
I wish I had a coach like him too. He is so supportive and patient. I feel like I learnt a lot about the grip concept and posture. Can't wait to get to the court to check how much I learnt 😬✨
@Alien_ee I’m just going to my park and having a friend drop the ball for me and take the videos as support 😅, trust me idk but I’ll work it out and just buy a cheap one to start, starting training when the snow melts 🙃
Only sport I can watch and keep track of tourneys! Tennis is my favorite sport. Started watching it with a friend who taught me how to score. Ngl, watched for the eye candy, stayed for the sport all these years in the end.
Great Videos! For those of us who don't go for classes this great. Wih the in depth information and also pointing out the mistakes and telling even the small details and doubts. I've seen people who can't finish their swing, who use their wrist instead of their shoulder. This video can help them.
Ok I’m back! Had a lesson with my coach today and he was so pleased with my forehand and one handed back hand today!!! I felt so much more confident! Thank you so much!!
@@Feathers_and_rivers hi! I started off taking lessons once a week (on mondays) for a few months then moved up to twice a week. It’s been well worth it! Good luck at your lessons!

I literally just subscribed for $100 a year to an online tennis library. Unfortunately didn't research enough of their content. They have hundreds of videos, but lack organization and consistency. I've learned more about teaching new-comers in this one video than I did in my subscription. Please, please keep coming out with these types of videos...awesome job!
I hardly ever comment but this is indeed a great lesson! Most coaches have a hard time being clear and concise when teaching mechanics and sometimes showing and doing isn't as simple as it sounds with beginners. In response to some of the comments regarding her potential and personality, yes, she is very easy to work with and very responsive to his teaching. I loved how she started catching the racquet over her left shoulder after forehands later on in the video. She wasn't using her left shoulder when working on her contact point+ft+closing, but as soon as he started feeding from the other side of the court she instinctively started catching the racquet. Same way as she naturally pulled the racquet back when working on her contact point when he drop fed. Again, wonderful video!

I've been trying to start teaching my gf tennis and this video helps me explain things much better to her as far as technique since many of my moves are just automatic now its hard for me to explain it. I'm so excited for our next lesson!!!
This is awesome! I played in highschool and playing is a lot different than teaching. I've been so flustered when teaching my wife because I have no words, to me it was kind of like, "do this and that." But this. This is SO clear. Put words to what i wanted to say, THANK YOU!
Wow, I have played for many years, took lessons as a kid and now trying to teach my 10 yr old daughter to play. THIS WAS A LESSON! If you could call it that. It was more like magic. To watch how to hold the racket correctly, broken down step by step, for forehand and backhand, and to watch all of the components of a serve in a matter of minutes, Wow!!! I am excited to show my daughter everything I just learned and to watch all of the videos!! You sir, are a coaching genius!
I’ve never played before but it looks so fun. Gonna get a racquet for my son and I so we can play. I’m 41 but it’s never to late to learn! I’m addicted to watching all the matches in the tennis channel!! Thank you for this video. I’m definitely subscribing!! 🎾

Inspirational video for someone like myself who's returning to tennis in my retirement. I've taught people to fly and Nikola employs the same building block instructional methodologies. That in combination with Anna's natural athletic abilities makes these lessons so entertaining and motivational!

I took lessons last year, no one told me about grips. I think I was using the backhand grip all the time. Maybe I did subconsciously change grip for each stroke, but honestly I have no idea what I did. This is such a good coach. Explaining the mechanics in the body and why it's important to do it. I hate it when a coach doesn't say these details, because you can build a wrong technique and then muscle memory is a bitch to relearn. And that's exactly what happened with my previous coach.
This is a very good coach combined with a very good student, excellent development, the strokes are looking natural already, not weird at all which is something rare to see on a begginer player.
I originally play badminton for 15 years and today I got invited to a tennis training for beginners and I'm really loving the sport. Clearly there are some badminton techniques that I need to shut off while playing this sport but there are also some badminton techniques that somehow gave me a jumpstart. I'm looking forward to learning more and this video is very clear, now I'm excited to try again 😊
im gonna teach my GF playing tennis, & this video gives me the perfect points to learn/watch/correct/adapt so she can have a good first experience ! THANKS ALOT
as a tennis coach, i found this good, also the girl said it sounds good, that was good, and what i liked, he didnt go over board with how to hit the ball , keep it very simple, they say kids can only take in so much at a time, and she enjoyed the lesson, well done , stephen sellick
Amazing! That's how simple but perfect instructions can make a noobi start efficiently hitting the ball just in 10 min! I am really impressed! Well done!
This video is fantastic thank you so much, I have played since I was 9 and I am 20 now. I am very in tune with body mechanics and what makes something efficient and also ergonomic. I have no problem giving my fellow players technique tips, but I had no idea how to start teaching my mom. Thank you so much! Hope I can repay her for all the practices she took me to haha
Congrat to everyone who has noticed that they have lost years of playing better only because they don’t want to pay some lessons. Amazing lesson coach. Great concept, details, biomecanic movements and progress. Thanks for sharing. Good luck.
Today was my first day of learning lawn tennis and the video seems a recap of what I learnt in the morning!! Just a difference- my coach ordered ‘please collect the balls’ at the end! 😅❤
I wish I had started this way: by focusing on contact instead of mimicking the exaggerated-topspin swings of the day! If I could go back in time, I would give myself the following... *First Lesson to my Former Self: "Contact is Everything"* 1. Start your swing AT the contact point - mentally anyway, you will subconsciously add the backswing 2. Finish your follow-through COMPLETELY. There's a reason the pros do this (in warmup anyway). By _consciously_ focusing on the FT, it dictates everything that _unconsciously_ precedes it. 3. Do Not Worry About Topspin! Clean contact trumps topspin at this level of the game. Learn topspin only once you generate enough power that you cannot otherwise keep the ball from going long. I was the exact opposite, i.e. I paid HUGE attention to the looping, topspin backswing of the day (Borg, Vilas, etc.) and ZERO attention to the follow-through. Wrong! Other way around.
She is already athletic.. this coach is amazing. The ability to bring out the best in a athlete is a great skill. She will be on a women’s 3.5 team in no time if she keeps this up. Then when she falls in love with the game don’t see why she won’t be a solid 4.0 player
What's up bro I've done something EXACTLY like this on my channel and have also had AMAZING results, even better, especially with the backhand - if you go check it out, you're mind is actually going to be blown! No natural athleticism, talent, coordination at all! I'd really appreciate it - near perfect form in just one lesson!
I'm just starting to play tennis with my more experienced friends...and this is helping out so much. A lot of what Anna was doing...is basically at my level xD I get too over excited when hitting and my swings are all over the place. Sometimes, I make good serves/swings, and some you're like "what happened?? xD". Very good teaching techniques, I need a teacher likes this ;A;
I just started to learn tennis..we only have a experience player teaching me but not a coach like.his ok but not coach type.Good thing I found your video.This is very helpfulllll❤❤❤❤ thank you for detailed beginner training video❤❤❤
I am beginning my tennis lessons tomorrow, and this video has helped me feel less nervous about it. This coach does such a nice job of explaining things and modeling what he is saying.
She's probably already an expirenced player acting like a begineer. The video wouldn't look so good if she were a typical begineer spraying balls everywhere.
Teaching someone who is relatively new to tennis is not an easy feat. You do it well, Nick! It always helps when your student has natural ability of good hand eye coordination, good core strength and a ton of resolve to get it correct. Sometimes you will encounter the opposite end where they have no coordination, no sense of what their body is supposed to do and has attention deficit disorder. Those kids/people can drive you nuts! I respect what you shared and how you instructed her to keep it simple and progressive. Great way to build her foundation and confidence in continuing to want to improve more. Bravo to your success! As a teacher and in growing your channel. Don

I feel sorry for the extremely creative online (and sometimes live as well) coaches who use odd examples and rocket science theories - not to mention state of the art devices and major tennis "sponsored" brands - to explain what is meant to be so simple, intuitive! But once again the Jedi of tennis with his blue (sometimes yellow) light saber debunks all the fuzz and big screens that transforms tennis into a Rubik's cube with beat up language and funny faces. Fortunately within a couple of strokes one can infer that this magic coach belongs more to a couch (sometimes they pretend to teach from their living rooms as well!). But Intuitive does not join the dark side of the weak tennis and shows how the sport is supposed to be taught. Way to Go! Better player one will be the more Intuitive Tennis sets him free. Let the force be with you!
I just started training tennis just last week but after training with my coach I come back on TH-cam and follow ur instructions it helps me a lot and am picking it faster when get back to the court to train 😊🙏shalom
I am 36 and my best friend is an older guy who plays tennis fairly well. He says he will not play me because I am no good but we do not know how good I am since I do not play much. I am a very good ping pong player and I beat him at that fairly easily after not playing for years. This video is giving my the tools I need. I will use this information to wreck Justin. Thank you.
Fantastic. This is solid beginner teaching. I wish I had learned this way years ago. So simple and solid basics to build on. Now I know what to do when I start getting sloppy, not finishing the stroke, or worrying excessively on how to do my backswing (which FYI, the ball could care less on how I brought my racquet back. It only cares about how I brought it through the impact zone and the speed at which I went through, showed by my stroke finish). Excellent video!
What's up bro I've done something EXACTLY like this on my channel and have also had AMAZING results, even better, especially with the backhand - if you go check it out, you're mind is actually going to be blown - two completely unathletic, uncoordinated, no talent regular people picking up the forehand and backhand INSTANTLY! Super stoked

Amazing video, I'm gonna play with friends who are already good while I never ever played tennis and didn't want to waste everyone's time, at least I know the basics thanks to this video, thanks a lot for this ! EDIT : The serve looks SO HARD, but it makes so much sense to start the stroke at the highest position to make the smallest movement possible, and have as much control as possible !
I thought his accent was familiar and then I realized why! 😃 Great instruction! I was looking for videos to teach my kids the basics of tennis and this channel seems just right! Love it!
Excellent "The most important thing is Control..... Power we gonna go later" - The prime keys to most all sports - put Power on the bench till control is there - then bring power in - so so much Tennis with people around me fails cause they over power each other and burn out and have zero fun - sometimes I can teach them - other times best to stay out of it
Good lesson! She is a natural. I gotta show the serve lesson to my wife. She is kinda frustrated with the continental grip for the serve, that is why she is using the forehand grip which the instructor recommended to prevent frustration.

I´m a brazilian begginer...its a little difficult to understand the instructions in english, but his terms and explanations are so simple that I could understand most of it... thank you for the great work
This is a great lesson and I really like that you're working with a real person. It helps that Anna makes mistakes, because that's the same thing we all do. She's also super attractive.
I just got a racket because I have a real interest in tennis and this video really got me understanding to the mechanics of the sport, I thought it was very complex, but its pretty simple for the beginner shots, maybe for spin and other things it would be more complex but for now that was an amazing lesson
This video helped me know everything about tennis. I've never played in a tennis game before and my first game starts in a few weeks. Thank you for posting the lesson!

Your mind's gonna be blown - full, uncut, timestamps, multiple camera angles, and insane teachings! I was inspired by other creators like this channel to start making the same kind of videos - you should definitely check them out, especially my most recent one!
Took tennis in college and 20 years later, taking it up again. Loving these videos. Taking the rust off and fixing bad habits i had. Also teaching gf. Thank you sir. And this student is very quick learner and beautiful.
Don't let ya girl read dis comment
😉
Hehehe - you had to slide that last part in, didn't you 😅
Because she adjusted right away to what he was saying and you see an improvement it's actually really helpful. No footwork yet, just contact points and follow thru. Great video dude!
i've just had the sudden random urge to learn tennis. i feel like i'm going through different hobbies and i want to try so many things,
thank you for this lesson, it was very helpful :>
Me too
Me too
iam 72 years old and been playing tennis on and off since 16 years old.i regret that I have never had any coaching lessons. I can play, but play wrongfully.
nick,you are a wonderful coach. I wish you were my coach then.
congratulations, keep up the good work. I have watc
I have watched most of your videos !
This beginner lesson made me a pro
Really? 😂
@Billie Eilish Edits yes
@Billie Eilish Edits yes it does! You'd be surprised if how well it helped me. I'm more comprehensive and understanding of the game now. I also have ALOT less questions after watching this video. 😁😅
People don't realize how difficult it is to teach beginners especially when they make slow progress. Hard job. I had that pleasure to teach my son from age 7 -10 . A lot of respect coach 😁
Especially if they are bad as this girl

I've started playing tennis half a year ago and it took me a few months to reach Anna's skill level after her first lesson.

It's been hard to find this low level stuff on TH-cam. Greatly appreciated!!! I just picked up a racket and started playing with no lessons. This is great!
My wife just started playing tennis and she has been playing for a little over a week and she is a natural athlete and can play some basketball. I have been hitting with her and doing drills like this with her, and she is so excited about tennis, she texts me and says to me, hun are we going to play tennis tonight after work, and she actually motivates me from her new experiences in tennis. She has a natural one handed slice that paints the lines. I find when teaching others complaints go along way. This was a excellent video my friend. Thank you
🙏
This is truly unbelievably good. Wow, Anna has incredible natural athleticism, hand-eye coordination and body control. Most beginners I see spazz out when a live ball comes to them from across the net, but she handled the pace with such calm and control. Amazing! Well done, Anna!
What's up bro I've done something EXACTLY like this on my channel and have also had AMAZING results, even better, especially with the backhand - if you go check it out, you're mind is actually going to be blown - and both of these guys have no natural talent, athleticism, or coordination WHATSOEVER!
She's definitely some kind of athlete or spends a lot of time in the gym.
@@mestune5043yup, the abs!
The coach is very good at explaining. Good job, coach!
This guy is exactly like my taekwondo instructor, he’s smart, and gets straight to the point while making sure you understand everything.
I wish I had a coach like him too. He is so supportive and patient. I feel like I learnt a lot about the grip concept and posture. Can't wait to get to the court to check how much I learnt 😬✨
Learnt. 😂 Is it an official word now? Idk 🤷. I’m a true redneck myself so it don’t matters anyhow. 😜
This is so strange I think it’s a sign I never found any sport interesting But Tennis looks fun
What exactly do you find interesting about tennis?

@Alien_ee I’m just going to my park and having a friend drop the ball for me and take the videos as support 😅, trust me idk but I’ll work it out and just buy a cheap one to start, starting training when the snow melts 🙃
Only sport I can watch and keep track of tourneys! Tennis is my favorite sport. Started watching it with a friend who taught me how to score. Ngl, watched for the eye candy, stayed for the sport all these years in the end.
The ability to relate and communicate well with others is a sign of compassion and likely wisdom.
Great Videos! For those of us who don't go for classes this great. Wih the in depth information and also pointing out the mistakes and telling even the small details and doubts. I've seen people who can't finish their swing, who use their wrist instead of their shoulder. This video can help them.
I’m a month into my tennis lessons and my coach is great! I’m still super new but watching these videos make me a lot more confident in my swings!
Ok I’m back! Had a lesson with my coach today and he was so pleased with my forehand and one handed back hand today!!! I felt so much more confident! Thank you so much!!
@@missbrandylicious hey! How many lessons did you take? I'm looking to start soon but unsure how many lessons I should book. Pls help 😊

Sharing yr knowledge at free of cost, what a great coach u R, may you live long
I literally just subscribed for $100 a year to an online tennis library. Unfortunately didn't research enough of their content. They have hundreds of videos, but lack organization and consistency. I've learned more about teaching new-comers in this one video than I did in my subscription. Please, please keep coming out with these types of videos...awesome job!
I hardly ever comment but this is indeed a great lesson! Most coaches have a hard time being clear and concise when teaching mechanics and sometimes showing and doing isn't as simple as it sounds with beginners. In response to some of the comments regarding her potential and personality, yes, she is very easy to work with and very responsive to his teaching. I loved how she started catching the racquet over her left shoulder after forehands later on in the video. She wasn't using her left shoulder when working on her contact point+ft+closing, but as soon as he started feeding from the other side of the court she instinctively started catching the racquet. Same way as she naturally pulled the racquet back when working on her contact point when he drop fed. Again, wonderful video!
What's up bro I've done something EXACTLY like this on my channel and have also had AMAZING results, even better, especially with the backhand - if you go check it out, you're mind is actually going to be blown! I'd really appreciate it - near perfect form in just one lesson!
This is the best tennis instruction for beginners on TH-cam. Clear, direct, easy to understand, and super helpful.
I can’t figure out why this video makes me want to be a tennis instructor?!
I can't figure out either
The sun?
I don't know much about golf but if she's looking for an instructor..... I think I can help her form
U know exactly why LOL
indeed
I've been trying to start teaching my gf tennis and this video helps me explain things much better to her as far as technique since many of my moves are just automatic now its hard for me to explain it. I'm so excited for our next lesson!!!
Great lesson; not every pro tennis player makes a good instructor. Hope to see more videos like this.
This is awesome! I played in highschool and playing is a lot different than teaching. I've been so flustered when teaching my wife because I have no words, to me it was kind of like, "do this and that." But this. This is SO clear. Put words to what i wanted to say, THANK YOU!
this is the greatest tennis lesson I have never taken in my life. I am not afraid to try it now thank you! Excellent coach!
Wow, I have played for many years, took lessons as a kid and now trying to teach my 10 yr old daughter to play. THIS WAS A LESSON! If you could call it that. It was more like magic. To watch how to hold the racket correctly, broken down step by step, for forehand and backhand, and to watch all of the components of a serve in a matter of minutes, Wow!!! I am excited to show my daughter everything I just learned and to watch all of the videos!! You sir, are a coaching genius!
🙏 thank you so much
I’ve never played before but it looks so fun. Gonna get a racquet for my son and I so we can play. I’m 41 but it’s never to late to learn! I’m addicted to watching all the matches in the tennis channel!! Thank you for this video. I’m definitely subscribing!! 🎾
thanks for subbing !
I'm 41 and learning also =]
Nah never too late to learn one of the great sports . I’m in a similar boat 💪🏻

Inspirational video for someone like myself who's returning to tennis in my retirement. I've taught people to fly and Nikola employs the same building block instructional methodologies. That in combination with Anna's natural athletic abilities makes these lessons so entertaining and motivational!
Best beginner video i’ve seen
What an amazing coach! 😎👏
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! Really appreciate it! 🙏
I just started learning tennis on my own, and this is GOLD. Thank you so much.

I took lessons last year, no one told me about grips. I think I was using the backhand grip all the time. Maybe I did subconsciously change grip for each stroke, but honestly I have no idea what I did. This is such a good coach. Explaining the mechanics in the body and why it's important to do it. I hate it when a coach doesn't say these details, because you can build a wrong technique and then muscle memory is a bitch to relearn. And that's exactly what happened with my previous coach.
This is a very good coach combined with a very good student, excellent development, the strokes are looking natural already, not weird at all which is something rare to see on a begginer player.
I originally play badminton for 15 years and today I got invited to a tennis training for beginners and I'm really loving the sport. Clearly there are some badminton techniques that I need to shut off while playing this sport but there are also some badminton techniques that somehow gave me a jumpstart.
I'm looking forward to learning more and this video is very clear, now I'm excited to try again 😊
Bro I also played badminton for 14 years and the same thing is happening to me also 😢😅
im gonna teach my GF playing tennis, & this video gives me the perfect points to learn/watch/correct/adapt so she can have a good first experience ! THANKS ALOT
as a tennis coach, i found this good, also the girl said it sounds good, that was good, and what i liked, he didnt go over board with how to hit the ball , keep it very simple, they say kids can only take in so much at a time, and she enjoyed the lesson, well done , stephen sellick
Amazing! That's how simple but perfect instructions can make a noobi start efficiently hitting the ball just in 10 min! I am really impressed! Well done!
This video is fantastic thank you so much, I have played since I was 9 and I am 20 now. I am very in tune with body mechanics and what makes something efficient and also ergonomic. I have no problem giving my fellow players technique tips, but I had no idea how to start teaching my mom. Thank you so much! Hope I can repay her for all the practices she took me to haha
Fair play to you for showing how to build a player like this. I haven't seen anything like this before on TH-cam.
This lesson has been so helpful!! I spent 1 year with a coach and never showed me how to change the grips. THANK YOU YOUUU
Glad it helped!
Congrat to everyone who has noticed that they have lost years of playing better only because they don’t want to pay some lessons. Amazing lesson coach. Great concept, details, biomecanic movements and progress. Thanks for sharing. Good luck.
They don't want???? They cannot afford them...maybe,.... In California the charge for an hour is between $ 70 to 90
@@matyverona9407 true. And not every coach out there, even though you are paying big bucks, is going to be a good one
@@prg4647 true
Today was my first day of learning lawn tennis and the video seems a recap of what I learnt in the morning!!
Just a difference- my coach ordered ‘please collect the balls’ at the end! 😅❤
Her footwork was surprisingly good for a beginner. I didn't move that well for years!
I wish I had started this way: by focusing on contact instead of mimicking the exaggerated-topspin swings of the day! If I could go back in time, I would give myself the following...
*First Lesson to my Former Self: "Contact is Everything"*
1. Start your swing AT the contact point - mentally anyway, you will subconsciously add the backswing
2. Finish your follow-through COMPLETELY. There's a reason the pros do this (in warmup anyway). By _consciously_ focusing on the FT, it dictates everything that _unconsciously_ precedes it.
3. Do Not Worry About Topspin! Clean contact trumps topspin at this level of the game. Learn topspin only once you generate enough power that you cannot otherwise keep the ball from going long.
I was the exact opposite, i.e. I paid HUGE attention to the looping, topspin backswing of the day (Borg, Vilas, etc.) and ZERO attention to the follow-through. Wrong! Other way around.
GREAT analysis!
And not hw u start but FINISH!
#3 dead on. Wish pros would stop talking topspin to beginners. It's ridiculous. Over the net deep inside the opposite court. On repeat. Well said.
She is already athletic.. this coach is amazing. The ability to bring out the best in a athlete is a great skill. She will be on a women’s 3.5 team in no time if she keeps this up. Then when she falls in love with the game don’t see why she won’t be a solid 4.0 player
What's up bro I've done something EXACTLY like this on my channel and have also had AMAZING results, even better, especially with the backhand - if you go check it out, you're mind is actually going to be blown!

Good lesson for me, I have been playing for 2 years now without couching , I might be the best in the world if this man has trained me long time ago
I'm just starting to play tennis with my more experienced friends...and this is helping out so much. A lot of what Anna was doing...is basically at my level xD I get too over excited when hitting and my swings are all over the place. Sometimes, I make good serves/swings, and some you're like "what happened?? xD". Very good teaching techniques, I need a teacher likes this ;A;
I just started to learn tennis..we only have a experience player teaching me but not a coach like.his ok but not coach type.Good thing I found your video.This is very helpfulllll❤❤❤❤ thank you for detailed beginner training video❤❤❤
I am beginning my tennis lessons tomorrow, and this video has helped me feel less nervous about it. This coach does such a nice job of explaining things and modeling what he is saying.
Wow the technique seems to come super easy for her, that's crazy. Most beginners take a really long time to make their shots even really look natural
She's probably already an expirenced player acting like a begineer. The video wouldn't look so good if she were a typical begineer spraying balls everywhere.
@@jeffpaxton9172 exactly my thoughts
how supportive he is. Amazing
If only all my students picked it up this quick. Great teaching!
He's an awesome coach - explains all the technic clearly and so patient and professional. I'm learning so much more.
Teaching someone who is relatively new to tennis is not an easy feat. You do it well, Nick! It always helps when your student has natural ability of good hand eye coordination, good core strength and a ton of resolve to get it correct. Sometimes you will encounter the opposite end where they have no coordination, no sense of what their body is supposed to do and has attention deficit disorder. Those kids/people can drive you nuts! I respect what you shared and how you instructed her to keep it simple and progressive. Great way to build her foundation and confidence in continuing to want to improve more. Bravo to your success! As a teacher and in growing your channel. Don

I love the coach so kind, clear and specific in his technique advice. Positive encouragement too.
I feel sorry for the extremely creative online (and sometimes live as well) coaches who use odd examples and rocket science theories - not to mention state of the art devices and major tennis "sponsored" brands - to explain what is meant to be so simple, intuitive! But once again the Jedi of tennis with his blue (sometimes yellow) light saber debunks all the fuzz and big screens that transforms tennis into a Rubik's cube with beat up language and funny faces. Fortunately within a couple of strokes one can infer that this magic coach belongs more to a couch (sometimes they pretend to teach from their living rooms as well!). But Intuitive does not join the dark side of the weak tennis and shows how the sport is supposed to be taught. Way to Go! Better player one will be the more Intuitive Tennis sets him free. Let the force be with you!
I just started training tennis just last week but after training with my coach I come back on TH-cam and follow ur instructions it helps me a lot and am picking it faster when get back to the court to train 😊🙏shalom
I am 36 and my best friend is an older guy who plays tennis fairly well. He says he will not play me because I am no good but we do not know how good I am since I do not play much. I am a very good ping pong player and I beat him at that fairly easily after not playing for years. This video is giving my the tools I need. I will use this information to wreck Justin. Thank you.
Love your passion bro....let the wrecking ball swing :-)
Lmao reading this as someone named Justin I was surprised when I read the end of the comment 🤣 3 years late hope you whooped his butt!
So how did it go? Did you beat him?
Fantastic. This is solid beginner teaching. I wish I had learned this way years ago. So simple and solid basics to build on.
Now I know what to do when I start getting sloppy, not finishing the stroke, or worrying excessively on how to do my backswing (which FYI, the ball could care less on how I brought my racquet back. It only cares about how I brought it through the impact zone and the speed at which I went through, showed by my stroke finish).
Excellent video!
What's up bro I've done something EXACTLY like this on my channel and have also had AMAZING results, even better, especially with the backhand - if you go check it out, you're mind is actually going to be blown - two completely unathletic, uncoordinated, no talent regular people picking up the forehand and backhand INSTANTLY! Super stoked
Best coach ever.... He made the difficult training easy

Amazing video, I'm gonna play with friends who are already good while I never ever played tennis and didn't want to waste everyone's time, at least I know the basics thanks to this video, thanks a lot for this !
EDIT : The serve looks SO HARD, but it makes so much sense to start the stroke at the highest position to make the smallest movement possible, and have as much control as possible !
I thought his accent was familiar and then I realized why! 😃 Great instruction! I was looking for videos to teach my kids the basics of tennis and this channel seems just right! Love it!
This was so very help. You're an excellent teacher! I love how descriptive you are in all of your intents. Thanks for uploading :-)
Beautiful form. Please feature her every week!
Excellent "The most important thing is Control..... Power we gonna go later" - The prime keys to most all sports - put Power on the bench till control is there - then bring power in - so so much Tennis with people around me fails cause they over power each other and burn out and have zero fun - sometimes I can teach them - other times best to stay out of it
Good lesson! She is a natural. I gotta show the serve lesson to my wife. She is kinda frustrated with the continental grip for the serve, that is why she is using the forehand grip which the instructor recommended to prevent frustration.

This is a great lesson and I really like that you're working with a real person. It helps that Anna makes mistakes, because that's the same thing we all do. She's also super attractive.
The best biginner comprehensive lesson ever.
Incredible how she’s already improved in under 2 minutes. Get yourself a great coach like this
I'm liking this. His teachings are awesome. He's patient with her and I like that.
I just got a racket because I have a real interest in tennis and this video really got me understanding to the mechanics of the sport, I thought it was very complex, but its pretty simple for the beginner shots, maybe for spin and other things it would be more complex but for now that was an amazing lesson
The most fun tennis training channel around.
Amazing lesson for biginner. I wish I could watch this video 3 years a go. But it is still useful for me now. Great Coach

“Intuitive elements of the stroke.” I like that line 😃
This video helped me know everything about tennis. I've never played in a tennis game before and my first game starts in a few weeks. Thank you for posting the lesson!
Great teaching sequence, I’m going to try it on my wife, thank you!
