Difference between Footwork & Speed in Tennis
👉🏻 ruclips.net/video/swbchY6bxpA/видео.html
As much as I learned and love your videos, I have to disagree with you on this on. I kickbox, played football and soccer, guess what? We do foot drills that we don’t use in the game. The props are used to create speed, proper spacing and not to think about our movement. Props create a flow state. It’s used to train your reflexes and build creativity.
I think that the whole point of the ladder is to improve your foot speed, fast twitch muscle power and speed, and muscle endurance. The ladder also helps beginners to increase their feet speed as well.
I understood the point of what you were trying to say, but my opinion is divided. I'll give you an example. Once the director of the academy in China where I worked told me to set as many as possible cones, hurdles, ladders on the court to delight parents. And to talk as much as possible, it doesn't matter what. I think you understand the point, and that coaches have to sell themselves and always invent new exercises. Which in most cases have no purpose. From that side, I absolutely agree with you.
On the other hand, I think that all these props can help a lot for warming up, coordination, making training more interesting etc. I really don't know anyone who thinks he should run on the court like he does ladders 😂
Also when it comes to intuitive footwork, professionals of course, do not think about footwork, but the right approach and training of movement techniques can speed up the learning process. Not all people are intuitive, some have natural steps, others don't and need to learn.
Well said
That intro was hilarious. You were just missing the sound effects Duglas Cordero adds when his players hop. "Pim Pam Pom Boom GOGOGOGO ATTACK!"
Hi Nick, i don't do this type of exercices and i'm fine with my footwork because i play a lot with friends and in mini tournaments. However, as you've said it's great for cardio-fitness. My experience is that the best exercices to do on a tennis court, of this kind, are reaction exercices were someone through you the ball randomly and you catch it. You have to allways keep your feet moving, follow the ball with your eyes and catch it. Regards from Portugal.
Loved the intro! Good effort NOT falling on your heiny! I think of these types of drills as more off-court (even though you do them on court) similar to weight work-outs that you're doing when tennis is your job (pros, college players, academy juniors) AND your footwork patterns are already well-established and ingrained. Then you can use the added agility, speed, balance, acceleration/ deceleration etc effectively. And I totally agree, these drills don't teach footwork per se and recreational players will benefit more from doing the fundamental work to get timing, spacing etc right that you and I learned a long time ago. If I use these kind of props for recreational players, it's for cardio tennis to give them a great workout, but the focus is definitely not footwork. Great video!
nick vs meike match...?
@@draconis228 Uh-oh, what did I start? 😆
@@draconis228 I completely agree! That match would be fun.
Funny intro 😆 and very good overall message on the use of props
Finally!! thanks as threw my ladder away 10 years ago lol
I think Nic deserves an award for his acting in the beginning of the video. 😂
These props are decent for cardio and footwork, i wouldnt put too much emphasis/time on it but they are useful for wiring new paths in the brain. Just like kids who grew up playing multiple sports, most become better tennis players than those who only focused on tennis.
“Just play Tennis,” well said!
Thank you for yet another informative and enjoyable video. You have created an impressive library of videos that are valuable to any student of the game who is serious about learning and improving. Here's wishing you the best for a great year ahead in 2022.
Plyometric exercises help me to react to oncoming ball faster .My feet were glued to the court, now I have easier start. Yes, mentally I new that I have to move but my body could not keep up with the mind. Plyometric help me to react fast without thinking.
Niki Pilic once said you should play tennis at the tennis court ,and fitness you should do in the gym!Great video Nick,thx👏👏👏🥰🥰👍👍👍
Thank you Boris. Niki Pilic is one of the greats. I wasn’t aware he said this 🙌🙌
Huge PROPS to you, Nik! I laughed my ass off in the opening shots! 🤣
Nick, for me those exercises are great for getting kids but that's about it. For me, constant movement is key, even in doubles. I've noticed how many club players don't employ 'proactive' footwork when hitting a shot so they're late or out of position.
Thank God Master I never do that since I start playing tennis. Running of various types useful exercise.
LOVE THIS!!! I always think the same when I see tennis players doing these step drills. I guess they could help with some small areas of tennis but the bulk of tennis footwork is completely different. These step drills might even teach bad habits for beginners.
Intro made me laugh out loud! 😂
Oh man. I laughed too hard watching the first 45 seconds of this video.
Such a great intro. So hilarious. Made my day!
Great content Nick
thanks for the pragmatic advice coach.
Hey nick. Nice vid. Would be interested in seeing a vid from you on how to best play in defensive situations.i.e how to position when defending a short ball, and how best to defend an approach shot
Excellent points, Coach Nik -- that while these prop drills maybe be useful for overall agility and conditioning, they are no substitute for learning and practicing tennis-specific footwork: split steps, shuffle steps, cross over steps, carioca, etc.
Hi Nick, will daily rope jumping exercise help with the tennis footwork?
Bravo Maestro!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
You cracked me up everytime :D:D
Great video! I agree that using props for footwork does not develop or improve tennis specfic footwork patterns. What do you think of the sweet spot training tennis frames (like toalson sweet spot trainer or wooden spoon)? What do you think of the topspin trainer tools? What training props are actually worth getting for tennis?
Good stuff!!
Thank you for the laugh today!!
what's your opinion on the topspinpro?
I agree, though props can be useful (ladders, jump ropes, etc.) when working with larger groups, particularly kids (it keeps them active). Shapes are useful for establishing stations (keeping kids separated). Targets work well in helping players control their strokes. So, some props, but lets not go crazy.
So your telling me CARROT TOP, GALLAGHER and HOWIE MANDELL aren't three of the GREATEST COMEDIANS ever?! (Sarcasm)
So real and rational 👍
I have a question. At the moment when I hit the ball is my 6 pack supposed to be hard(stiff) or loose and relaxed?
Hi Nick, I think the props help any player in agility & fitness. All sports use such tools. Medicine balls are used to improve arm & core strength to gain power. The ladder for beginners can help in legs & balance. These tools make kids interested & participate in warm up rather than the monotonous warm up. Hence I think these tools are useful for a quick warm up though it may not be tennis specific.
Great video Nic!
Thank you
Hey nick (please read)! What if you're training footwork with shadow swings? I have trouble with high and deep balls so I do some shadow swings moving back as if I were in a real rally. Same thing with approach shots, I shadow them and do multiple sets of them for training when I don't have someone to feed. Not looking at my feet or anything, but just training my endurance and building muscle memory. I'm about a NTRP 4.0 junior and have some solid footwork but need to engrain it in my game still. Is this training still okay? thanks
Sounds like good training to me
@@CoachAdrian thank you sir!
Great thanks
💯🙌🙏
I think tennis and any sport is about mastery of the human body for whatever it is you want to do with it. Which requires at a bare minimum some kind of physical coordination between the different parts of the body. How your brain make adjustments to adjust what the body does in order to correct a movement for efficiency or power or whatever you determine to do. Therefore physical coordination and strength building will absolutely add to the overall physical experience. I don’t think anyone would say in order to improve your volleys run on this ladder, but the mind body connection can by strengthened through such training.
How can I improve my concentration and tracking of the ball?
LOL 😂. Fitness and movement drills are important. My biggest challenge at 54 is my fitness. You have to be fit to have good footwork and I fatigue easier now and my footwork gets sloppy and my game falls apart. How does an older player improve his footwork?
Yes
yo nick when is your next stand up show holy this was funny
💯🙌😂
Good 👍
The last time I was scheduled to play a match, I double checked, and there weren't any cones on the other side of the net. So, I had to go home. 😂
i nearly wet myself laughing there. tks
Making your legs more coordinated can only help. Most sports your legs do not need to be coordinated. By coordinated I mean Messi dribbling a ball, juggling, and shooting with either foot. Or Gretzky skating. Martial arts you need coordinated feet to balance on one leg and kick with the other. So now I am going to teach a junior tennis. I can not say just play soccer for 30 years, or for a few as a youth like Federer and Nadal and many other ATP pros. Of course you do not do ladder patterns when playing a tennis point. But it is a way to help a student develop more coordination with their feet, which will ultimately help - or it is just a wild coincidence that soccer players who can not use their hands during soccer make good tennis players. Or in the case of Nadal and Federer among the best ever.
What about all the pros and amateurs that head to the beach to run around in the sand and swing a racquet. What do they get out of that?
I think it’s a good thing. Running on the beach or on a steep hill is a lot tougher than running on smooth flat concrete. So the idea is, if you can run on the beach, it’ll be a lot easier to run on a tennis court.
@@CoachAdrian Also easier on the joints/knees.
I watched the movie king Richard about the Williams sisters and her father I would like your opinion on it, it could be an interesting video review
