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 🙂
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 😅
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 :)

Nice compliment for coach Vas right here. Can’t say anything bad about Patrick though. Both coach and business side :)
