This is really really good coaching. She literally couldn't serve at all in the beginning and by the end she has a solid foundation.

This beginner series is GREAT! Self taught players like me can learn a lot- Thank you!

I wish I could take a lesson from him! I love his style.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE watching your lessons with Anna! These are so helpful as a beginner! Watching other how to perfectly xyz vids can be such an information dump and they only focus on perfection. It's so helpful to see what I'm sure are common beginner issues pointed out and ironed out little by little in real time and seeing the end result. Thank you!

The serve is the hardest thing to learn in tennis. Still working on my serve 35 yrs after I first started playing..

"Just wait, just wait" --- Tries pro serve "Alright, so you just destroyed your serve" Lol lol lol

Great coach! It was funny when Anna tried to replicate your fast serve and knocked it into the other court 🤣 But when she listened her serve improved a lot 👍

Anna is a good listener. she always ends the video with beautiful surprises. The mentor is there all time for her, he knows her potential. love the video

What really helped me build a proper serve with my coach was starting with tossing the ball only. Before even taking up the racket in each training session, they told me to do 10-15 tosses to develop muscle memory for a quality and consistent toss.

So many key tips in such a short video. The position of the toss in front and the tilt ....that's gold, baby!

i love her confidence she thought she could repeat your serve but she came back to earth great attitude though you explain things so simply with the right amount of details

nice job coach, as a tennis coach and instructor i was laughing the whole time because it is always a balance about how much bad technique we can let go so they can just play .

Amazing. There couldn't be better and simple video on how to do serve. He is the best teacher. He keeps it straight and simple. Whatever tennis I can play is all because of his coaching through KZfaq.

this is so good i am a beginner i have never played tennis and i am going in a training near and i got so excited thanks alot

Almost 40 years old. Just started out with tennis. Can totally relate to Anna's learning curve. Great coaching. Learning allot!

I like how you don't explain everything at the same time and go step by step. Very easy to understand

This dude is an awesome coach, gotta use this video's for self thought.

The training session video is very interesting and helpful. Awsome job , keep up guys.

This is super helpful 👏🏻 Great coaching! I'm starting tennis and this video helped me alot

It is complex, but taking the toss out works nicely. You can work on getting the windmill, the main thing ive noticed anna is not doing is splitting the hands when doing the toss, bringing the racket arm backwards begins a nice curve. Practicing slowly without a ball really helps, its like a cricket type throw with the windmill

Thankً you for the video. It is exactly what I wanted to see. I know now my issues and I have improved my serve spot on

I absolutely LOVE these videos with Anna...GREAT coaching...please keep doing MORE!

thanks for the video. You are so patient w/ your students and don't get upset when they challenge you :) This video is helpful even though I am not a beginner, I can see similar problems in my game.

Terrific serve tip. Great coaching

This brings back the memory of how I was learning the serve I have now

She slowly improve, good teacher and excellent coach

Another excellent post Nic 👏🏼👏🏼🎾🎾

I’m one of the few players in my club that my first practice allways involves serving. I’ve allways placed a priority on practicing placement on first and second serves. It’s about drawing a short ball more than trying to get the flashy ace. Deception, pace, spin and bounce are the key factors. 👍👍

Very helpful instruction, Nik.

By far the hardest thing for me to learn staring out was serves but 2 years later the kick serve is by far my favorite shot in tennis.

Tolles Video, erstaunlicher Unterrichtsaufbau... ein riesiges Kompliment für deinen Kanal, sehr inspirierend!!

Anna is going to be a champ

I never write comments but wanted to say thank you for all of your awesome videos! You are the best coach. I follow religiously and have made so much progress in the past few months. My husband is a intermediate player and he has benefited from your instructions as well.

Thank you for the good teaching

Great. I ll use your suggestions to improve my serve. Thx u.

Great lesson. Thanks

It is a real confidence boost to see someone who is so uncoordinated clumsy. If someone with this little athletic aptitude can do it, than anyone can.

Sometimes it helps to see the larger picture (in this case, the full speed serve). But of course he’s right, no one can do everything at once - stepping stones are required.

This coaching is insanely good 👍

you and yaron brook are my favorite youtubers i watch yaron for philosophy and you for tennis thank you ps i look forward to new videos from both to improve in tennis and life

I cant wait to see Anna take off like a rocket and do that serve like federer.. keep working coach.. haha had fun watching this

These videos are so good Nick ! i like Anna she's a good student

Thanks Coach Nick Great Videos

I love these videos! I wanted to start learning tennis for fun but was hesitant because I’m older than a lot of kids who play. But after seeing Anna, it makes me think it is never too late to learn/start something new.

Really it's helpful, thanks a lot

Im a beginner. I feel ill never be able to serve properly. Our tennislessons always ends with only 5 minutes servepractise. We all stand at the baseline end serve till the ballbasket is empty. Our teacher stands behind us and just watches without saying anything. Luckily we have video s like this.

Good lesson. I find getting students to work on throwing the ball overhand as if they were a baseball player in the outfield can allow a lot of the body mechanics, including pronation of the right wrist, to fall into place.

Great explanation and coaching! Good job Ana too!

Thank you so much you did help me very much You are the best

Wow this has really helped me too

Extremely good

I had my first match with seed players last day ,it was good , they were kind too, thanks a lot.

Das macht viel Spaß!))

Thanks for the video. Your videos help players that don’t have the money to pay a coach.

Very good video. Can you explain why when you told her to use the continental grip she took to it without any trouble. Most coaches say that to switch to this grip takes time , especially if you have been playing for some years.

I really believe that your coaching videos are great for beigginers. I would appriciate that you post some of them inverted since for lefties like me is kind of hard to get the same movements right and there aren't much left handed videos on youtube.

My first serve lesson with the coach was exactly this but then we tried the Nadal variation by bending the elbow straight into the serve motion and snap up. Is there a difference between this serve and Nadal serve? I loved the lesson on the Toss, really needed it.

Very interesting to watch ......

She did really well

Great coaching!

best piece of advice he gave her was: don't try to serve like I do because you can't. and he proved it to her. I made this mistake at the beginning, I wanted to have the service motion " like the ATP guys" of course; my coach was begging me not to try that and do it step by step instead, but I couldn't help myself, and I developed this strange very complex, veeery elaborate movement, and forward body acceleration with a jump and all, which was actually quite impressive as a choreographic stunt maybe but I didn't have the basics, my toss was all over the place, next my serving arm started to play tricks on me, and currently after a few years of struggle I'm coming back to the basics because everything went haywire on me and I just can't serve at all to be honest. The body remembers what you teach it, and it's really difficult to unlearn the mistakes when you're an adult student of tennis or any other sport/dance. for real. Second good piece of advice is the time to be spent on the serve each training session - it's a very common occurrence in recreational tennis coaching not to spend a lot of time on service. This makes the other parts of the game develop way faster and this lack of balance is unwelcome. it's very frustrating when you're a decent ball striker in all other areas but this one last is just not working for you.. so, don't try this at home for sure. make your coach spend even 5 minutes on your serve each lesson, don't get discouraged if it's not working for a long time, it won't, it's the most difficult shot in tennis. I'm still on it, trying hard

When are we going to see Anna help Nikola with some dance moves? Let Anna be the master for once 😛

The beginner series is very important even to an intermediate player because it shows the foundations of the tennis serve I would like to say that the toss can be practiced by tossing and catching the ball with the arm extended until you master it then start all over again in a trophy position then practice the contact point it will get complicated with the rotation and the shoulder turn however if you can get a toss right wow !!!! then the rest will come easily Nikola I learn more from the beginner series than intermediate or advance!!!! it makes you think more ...

Man this was me. I watched some slow mo ATP servers and thought I could go right out and do what they did 😆😆

This is the best coaching

Thank you for this amazing video!I just released my faults on my service!

What a great coach. #beginerhere. Good job!

Good video.

Great videos, Ana is also great 🙂

Very great coaching , Compared to her i am way bad a serving

You are an amazing coach! I consider myself pretty advanced but I'm going to use your videos to teach my girlfriend. They are excellent!

So many elements of pro serve that you can't just replicate by watching. Weight on Front foot, move to back foot, straight up toss, racquet down, weight on front foot, trophy pose, racquet drop, contact with shoulder front, non dominant hand tucked in, PRONATION, follow thru.

Good intro video. Regarding longer takeback giving more power, many of the biggest servers (Groth, Roddick, Kyrios, Isner, etc) have relatively short takebacks.

Who agrees with me? Serve is the hardest thing on tennis. Mostly our coaches teach us serve more than ANYTHING

1. Sees serve 2. Says 'not bad at all' This guy is clearly maxed out on his deception skill

This is so helpful! I am only 6 minutes in so far but notice you haven't mentioned the trophy position. Is that something that is unhelpful to talk to someone about on their first day serving?

I really hope that you don’t coach in Georgia because I might loose all of my business! Great coaching as always!

Dear Nikola, Love all you do on your channel. Can you please do a video about using different string tensions for mains and crosses and how those differences affect a racquet's feel and playability?

My question is it is more important to teach what the body does e.g. feet- sideways- arm separation- both arms up- weight transfer etc rather than what the whole path of the racket should be doing ? Thanks. I enjoyed the video

Wow! Explanation step by step in serve is stupendous though the dancing girl is in hurry to serve like a PRO

Dancers are generally very good at replicating kinetic movements of the body, so I understand why she asked the coach to show the full serve and a chance to just replicate the whole serve..

I love her enthusiasm,cute

I love Anna she's so cute!

I want the gloves back!

7:30 I LOL'd

Hello teacher, regards, how should our racket grip be in the starting service?

is it bad that no matter how i try to serve properly i always messed up, i feel like the pressure is ruining it :(

New tennis player

Anna reminds me of Ripley in Aliens when Hicks is going over the pulse rifle manual of arms: “Show me everything.” 100% bad ass. 💪🏻

I really need help with serving

Well that will imprive my tennis left serving

as usually to give you like then to watch

I am from India and intermediate player. May I come over to your place for some training? Like a camp for a week or 5 days. What do you say?

And I'm using my summer just for tennis but luv

Where is this club?

I wish I could take lessons with him… but Im in a different country

What type of grip is that ?thank you
