@@grantchen2324 of course you're going to lose weight if you play tennis instead of nothing, but is true that every player needs to do some kind of workout to get better, and tennis at club level isn't good for lose the final fat.
I am coaching High School and USTA Junior tennis for a long time. We always start practice with static and dynamic stretching. My players don’t realize that their old coach is using some yoga moves in their warmup. One of my favorite training drills is running lines while holding a racquet. We sprint from the baseline to service line then back to baseline then up to the net and back to the baseline. You get 30 seconds to recover then repeat drill. Any player can do this drill by themself but it helps to have competition.
So, I just tried these drills. Got out there with my racquet, timer and Eye Coach. To summarize, this is the missing link in my tennis transformation. Just turned 69 and can see where I've been deficient despite playing and "exercising". I'm committing to doing these three times a week over the next month. I am pumped. Like I just found a winning lottery ticket. Thanks, Kevin & TTD
It feels like all the tennis topics have been covered to death in the tennis instructional youtube world but havent heard anyone tackle this one. Could you do a video on how to identify your opponents grip (continental, eastern, semiwestern and western) from across the court. I cant seem to figure out what my opponents grip is from so far away - so maybe some tips or tricks to quickly identify the grips they are using on say on groundstrokes, volleys, overheads and serve. Then relate it to what the inherent advantages/disadvantages of that grip is so you can come up with a gameplan as to how to better attack them based on that information. Love the channel. Thanks!
Have found an improvement in base fitness has had a huge impact on my tennis. Getting fit enough for a half marathon and I find I'm at the ball earlier and recovering quicker.
Thanks for the video, Kevin. I think you could also have mentioned that the cones can be subbed out for something else for those stuck at home. As for the jump squats, I like the idea. Though I am concerned a bit about your form on it, as it looks like you're trying to keep the knees from going forward past the toes. Are you aware that it's actually more proper for the knees to come forward just slightly past the toes? I learned a year or so back that the knees are actually supposed to come forward just slightly past knees to equally distribute the concussive forces acting on the top and bottom of the knee. I'm only asking out of concern, so please don't mind. Otherwise, I like the video. 😁
Love your videos - one suggestion: cut your dialog by 50%- try think about it...for example did you need to talk about breath recovery for almost half a minute?
Remember - you are loved! Jesus loved you and gave His life so you can be free because of Him! He died on the cross so we can be set free. He wants all of us to repent of our sins and be given a new life in Him! He does to all who choose to believe in Him, trust Him and follow Him xx He will give us the power to ivercome sin in our lives today x He will never leave you nor forsake you xxx
“You get fit so you can play tennis. You don’t play tennis to get fit.” Best line i heard from tennis director at my club.
That's true! In my case, I lost some weight playing, but was the "doing nothing" fat. Without body workout and cardio you're not going better.
Wrong. If you are fat, you can play tennis to lose weight. If you want to train muscle, you do need to lift weights at the gym.

Thank You Coach Kevin for uploading a video on this I personally struggle with this! Keep making more amazing content.
So true mostly for seniors.
This is such an important video for anyone who wants to play ! Fitness = more concentration on the game and less distraction due the lack of stamina.
Exercice très adapté au tennis qu'on ne joue pas planté comme un ''i'' majuscule Thank U guy
Thanks Kevin. Fantastic! Can’t wait for the next one: explosiveness, pylometrics stuff.
Great lesson. Thanks, Kevin!
Awesome ! Thank you! I'm 56yo but I'll try to follow.
Thank you Coach Kevin! These drills are the most important part tp level up my tennis!
Love you channel! Thanks for contributing

Thanks Coach Kevin, I wished I would have learned and understood the science of this in highschool. Never to late to re-learn though!

Thanks Coach Kevin
