As an LTA Level 1 aspiring tennis coach, I’m truly impressed by this lady’s approach to training and coaching. Her guide is not only thoughtfully structured but also purpose-driven, which has helped me gain a deeper understanding of coaching techniques and player development. Each lesson is broken down into practical, actionable steps, making it easy to implement them in real-life coaching situations. I’ve particularly appreciated how she emphasizes the mental and tactical aspects of tennis, not just the physical skills. Her teaching method builds a solid foundation for players at any level, focusing on long-term growth rather than short-term fixes. Since following her lessons, I’ve felt more confident in my ability to coach and lead effective training sessions. Overall, her guidance has been invaluable in my journey, and I would highly recommend her program to any aspiring coach looking to improve their skills and understanding of the game.
Such a great video. I've been aiming to improve footwork over the last couple of months so it's great to see a video covering a lot of the basics for best beginner ROI. Awesome, thanks for this!
Perfect timing, I have been looking for a great video like this on footwork technique and drills for my daughter. Very clear to understand video. Will look through your other videos. I am looking for breathing techniques and managing stress during matches too for her too. Many thanks.
Cette vidéo est géniale ! Inspirante ! En tant qu’éducateur tennis je prends des notes pour mes futures séances avec les adultes débutants et les enfants dont je m’occupe ! Génial ! Bravo et merci 🙏
Hi. Thank you for your time and effort! I really enjoyed this video. Tomorrow i start playing play offs in one of the biggest amateur tennis league in Poland (Cracow - relaksmisja). This video gives me wider view of footwork and great that you also showed exercises. Thank u for this
This is extremely useful even for seasoned club players like myself.. we think we know it all but reinforcing how important footwork is not to be underestimated.. Thank you so much!
@@michaellangham6234 haha you're not a player yourself are you love? It means very experienced.. Collins dictionary says: a player with a lot of experience. Hope that helps 😉
Great video, subscribed. I pulled my calf twice in the past doing the 'first step' mainly chasing the drop shot. I will certainly try these drills. Anything else u wud recommend to avoid pulling my calf muscle?
Very clear and to the point explanations. I noticed two things: 1) the cross over/behind are only for one step in all cases. It is always followed by either a side step or by a running stance where the body fully faces the side of the court. 2) In your cross behind steps we can see your hips turning in a uneasy way, that I do not notice among pros. I believe it accounts for the more acute difference in court coverage and speed with your cross over. I wonder if this movement could not be enhanced (and thus could be taught differently).
No-one at our club does the split step every shot. I don't think even the A team players do - receiving yes but every shot I don't think so. I do it receiving - I copy Wawrinka's technique :) I'm trying to bring it in more but there's so much to remember you can get in a knot.
Great video, could you go more in depth of where to recover based on the opponent’s position and also what specific footwork steps to use in each scenario? i know it’s a big ask but it would be a huge help
Thank you very much for the content, especially since I can do it at home (I can't always go to the court). As a recommendation, I would tell you that in a video like this one that has items, you list them and show them written in the video, it is more educational, just like you do in your shorts. It would help a lot to people whose English is not so advanced (as in my case, I am a Spanish speaker). Thanks for your work!
Good vid. As the cross-over step is quicker and more effective, why not to use it all the time in the sideway direction? The advantage of the cross-over step is that your body stays at the same height more or less 'cause both legs are bent. On the contrary with the side step your body is going up and down preventing you from staring at the ball.

@@hrjohannesburg5478 Key recommendation would be to make sure to warm-up properly before playing & cool down too!
@@gemtennis. Excellent thanks, I was going to use ur drills to 'warm up' the legs or is that wrong. Do u have any other warm up videos I shud try.
@@hrjohannesburg5478 yes I have a warm-up video that you can grab some key warm-up exercises from, it’s one of my first videos!
I’m going to practice those drills 👍🏼
@@TheTennisInsider 💪🏼💪🏼
Excellent! Thanks!
@@parkplacegroup 😃🎾💪🏼
Excellent well demonstrated 🙌 great to see a tennis player in all white 👌👌👌
Cheers
holy shit is this useful, i always felt late for my setup. I knew my movement wasn't optimal but dam that's a huge difference.
@@TimeManInJail 😄💪🏼🎾
Learned personal exercises
That’s professional and scientific way to learn tennis. I play badminton, I know footwork is the most important thing, not the fancy swings
@@zhechen7691 Yes, it’s 100% the most important aspect!
great video coach
