So inspiring Patrick, thank you for sharing. I’m 60 and took up tennis 8 years ago. I have weekly lessons and play social comp. I love the challenge of learning and getting to be the best I can be. One day I hope to attend a camp at your academy. It’s my long term goal! 🙏🎾😍
I really like all the persuasions "tricks". You should write a book about it. I heard that in 1996 Sampras came to the French Open and practiced with young French players not as good as him (like around 500) and they were all winning. He was just trying different things, did not care about the opponent, the results.... He went to semis! This is confidence! Thx Patrick!
Merci beaucoup Patrick! Your English is excellent🏆 and the discussion is awesome. I started practising tennis against the practice wall in 2021, I am improving a lot with your videos. Also, at age 55 in 2022, I started learning French 🥳 very true, one must keep going, keep chasing your dreams💚 no matter your age, you will find a way if you have a very strong reason for wanting it. 👑
I had a ski instructor tell me when I was very young that I would be a beginner until I fell at least 1000 times. Tennis is very much the same way. If you don't miss shots it's because you're not taking shots. For me the challenge is learning when to take the shots and when not to. Although, as an old guy, I find taking the shots cuts down on my running, so the calculus is different. I just love being on the court...and that's success.
As a former Nick Bolletieri protege (same time in 1985 with Andre Agassi who I used to beat back then), I learned so much from my coach. Now as I return to the game professionally at 59 years young (not having played in almost 40 years), I’ve turned to you as my mentor and coach. On line. It is my dream to train at your academy and for you to witness the hardest forehand in the world still (yes, nick said he had never seen a harder forehand in his life), and to get fit enough mentally and physically so I can achieve (finally) my dream and potential: to be ATP ranked and to end up qualifying for Roland Garros. I wish to inspire people my age to believe it is all possible with hard work and dedication to the dream you wish to realise. If I had the extra money I’d come to your academy. One day you’ll read this and invite me and you’ll get me to my dream and a whole generation of over 40’s will play the best serious tennis possible after I achieve what I shall. Thanks Coach Patrick. I look forward to hearing from you 🏆🎾🤗🔝
The glass half full or empty explanation story should be a disclaimer for every tv journalist interviewing an athlete. It explains why they never say themselves bluntly I did this and this wrong. It not the journalist his fault either his job it to talk about those mistakes if they happen if both sides would give a little. Knowing why it is happening helps so many frustrated social media too.
Absolutely! People are taught not to make mistakes and not to fail from early ages, from school. As a result they are afraid of doing wrong and fail. But it's impossible to reach something without fails and mistakes. You can not learn how to ride a bicycle without falling at first steps. Fails make us closer to our goals and are an important part of the way to success. When you see a big success, always ask yourself, how many times this man failed, before he finally reached it.

Very interesting discourse but... this video must have been realized by joining a bezillion cuts. Must have been a real editing nightmare. Unfortunately, it affects the rythm to the point where Patrick looks like an unsufferable "verbomoteur". Pauses, just like in tennis, are a good thing.
You said "Failing is just information on how to improve". The sounds really good. Thank you.
This is brilliant advice.

I’m 52 and just started tennis about 9 months ago. I look forward to being 60 like you with the same positivity and desire to learn more!
@@davebeery_youtube thanks David. That’s fantastic! Such a wonderful sport to grow older with. Keep it up and enjoy! 🤩🎾
One of the best life talks I’ve ever seen.
This is a fantastic video ! Loved every minute of it ❤
Best inspirational talk I've heard. Full of precision and passion. I'll play this everytime I need a pep talk!
We never had great mental and physical tennis lessons growing up. If I had this guy at least 3 Wimbledon trophy in my hands.
Such a great guy 🥰

Please write a book patrick 😍
You're right about Ronaldo and it's a great example of Portuguese mindset
Agree
C'est dommage il n'y a pas de sous titré en français
are you kidding me? last time i saw THIS MANY cuts in a clip, it was a caricature ;)
#4 is the one which I've always missed from my life 😐
This is what we have all learned from Serena
