Thank you 🙏

This is a great idea!

This is a well structured comment. Hope Nik responds because I'm sure there are many of us out there with the same situation. I always try to tell coach in the beginning what I need to work on but asks me for more details and I end up making my problem sound more basic just to help him understand. Then we end up doing the same old routine with only a few minutes at the end working on my problems. I leave the session actually unsatisfied and questioning whether it was worth parting with cash for little return.

Us as individuals can definitely answer a few of these but also begs the question - "What are YOUR goals in tennis. What do you WANT from the sport". TL;DR why are you taking lessons. There's a big difference between someone looking to expose themselves to proper technique for the first time and become a weekend warrior playing socially vs someone looking to dial their game in to launch a path of playing competitively in ranked matches and slowly hone their game with the goal of improving rank. Like this one: "Is it better to come pre-warmed up and stretched?" - No brainer, hundred percent yes. Maximize your time on court and reduce injury. I wanted to be "dialed in" for my lessons but I've noticed I carve out time for warmup and stretching before every rally session and game now too. You'll feel and appreciate the difference. Whereas some people are super busy and really just want to play their hour of tennis and leave it at that. Anyways for interacting with your coach: There's a VAST amount of elements to learn in tennis and not everyone is playing tennis for the same reasons. It's important to first take time and consider why you're playing. This will help guide you in writing out your goals and verbalize the why you're playing. All of this is very important context to a coach/instructor. They certainly have many frameworks they can use for your progression but allow them that context so they can best structure to your needs and help enable your goals :D For example I initially sought lessons for guidance on proper technique. A friend showed me the sport, I had 0 racquet sport experience and wanted to explore tennis further. I shared my goals with my first instructor that - I'm a complete noob, can you guide me with the basics, my goal is to learn how to baseline rally and I have 0 interest in playing matches. Fast forward 2 years and I'm obsessed with the sport and want to explore playing in a competitive environment. I continuously work with my coach to dial in my core technique but we also introduce new layers on top as I progress like point construction and game state drills now that I'll be joining a 3.5 singles ladder. The point is - your coach will be a partner on your journey. Give them as much info as you can for where you envision that journey going and they'll help you in creating and navigating the path. Coaches have different styles, don't judge them on things like "assessing your immediate dividends" but rather can you connect and build a rapport with them. The rest will come naturally - How often to take lessons, what to do in your free time etc since it's all interconnected with your goals and how you want to approach the sport. I will say though, allow yourself ample time to APPLY the concepts you're learning at lessons. They'll be "take home" ready meaning you can apply the cues and instruction on sessions with a ball machine, rallying, and games. Work on your homework, go review with your coach in a lesson and get the next set of homework. All the best in your journey friend

Thank you Hans

Thank you Milan 🔥🔥

You are welcome

😂😂 maybe I am

@@IntuitiveTennis just a high tension

It’s probably natural gut, because the man is a professional tennis player, which would could probably beat most people with a broom stick.

Thank you 🙌

Join a league that uses UTR, then a computer will rank you against the players you play based on score and wins/loss.

Thank you but keep trying. Takes time to master directional control

Her legs look PRETTY strong to me

Don’t think it’s lack of strength. Just her technique she learned as a kid.

@@mteca5093 They do but are they involved in the stroke mechanics?

@@knotwilg3596 Possibly not as much as they should be but thats a separate assumption compared to your first one.

@@knotwilg3596 you don't want to waste those legs on mechanics

Yeah, she is not a bad player. 😅

😂😂😂

She would get destroyed

Flat balls get from point A to point B faster. So they can hit a fast ball with the strength they have. Problem is no margin for error and flat balls are easier to return. Many younger WTA players are now hitting more spin. They are fitter and stronger.

You're not very good at recognizing accents then

​@@A-A-crossfire5000They are similar as both are foreigners 😂. Joke aside, I would not have thought she is Spanish. She is in the better speaking Spanish people spectrum, usually their accent is much heavier and much more distinct. She doesn't look Eastern European, but I do find some similarities with her tbh.

@@elchanclascocina Who doesn't look Eastern European? Anna? Sara's Spanish accent is very noticeable to me at least. You might be right that it's not "thick" but it's very easy to pick up on and sounds nothing like Anna's since she is definitely Eastern European.

@@A-A-crossfire5000 Agree. No, Anna does look Eastern European (I'm not even sure who Anna is but if she's the one I'm thinking, definitely she does). Same as Emma. Sara is the one I'm saying she doesn't look Eastern European, and she isn't, but her accent, even though not a clear Eastern accent, does have a little bit here and there of that type of pronunciation, in my perspective. Saludos!

Firstly Nic already had a technique focused lesson with his client there is no reason to spend every lesson on technique. Secondly she is a former D1 player her habits are so ingrained within the muscle memory it would take an incredible amount of time to change let alone correct. Thirdly she is not playing as much as current D1 player she is looking to return to shape so training time is limited so spending time on things that are largely more impactful makes much more sense. Lastly this your super cringe and hyperfocused on 1 thing and ignores the bigger picture.

@@maxpowers4436 its a business at the end of the day, I’m sure he’s figured out what works to keep a paying customer...I wouldn’t waste an hour of private coaching on just hand feeding if I knew my flaw was a big wind up. Yeah Fitness is a great aspect to work on but it seems like glorified adult baby sitting. You/she has to take the iNiTiaTiVe to be more efficient and work on your flaws (you’re only as good as your weakest link)

@@TennisASMR Thanks for completely ignoring what i typed and responded back with more BS. Your comment is pure delusion. You dont know wtf you are talking about. What is important is a clients goals wateva they may be. If thats improving flaws or improving strengths. Your narrow minded view is quite annoying. because you are assuming your way is best. When its obviously not because who tf are you again? Also a coach dictates training and what you will/wont focus on thats why high level players hire coaches to COACH THEM and if you dont like it you get another 1. Some troll who literally ignored the fact i typed they have had sessions already to work on her forehand. Literally every fkn session cannot be the same. Its also painfully obvious you dont know anything about tennis because while its very technical really bad players with shit technique win all the time based on pure determination and make less errors and getting that one more ball back.

Completely inappropriate statement!
