I love your white racket. Which one is it?
So true, the quality of ball striking between being on your toes vs on your heels, is night and day. You get so much more pop, you feel like you have more time, and you swing through the ball more easily. The only cost is effort and consentration to keep it up.
I've only had a few lessons, but one of the most important was the value of short, choppy steps in preparation for the ball. When i am 'lazy' (i have congenital endurance issues), and i don't make all those little micro-adjustment steps, my shots are more erratic. When i do make that effort, i'm always happy to hit cleaner, more powerful shots. Footwork, for me, is more about those small adjustments in body positioning and angle than about speed toward pursuing balls. The little adjustments are what take me from off-balance to balance, from fading back/away to moving forward, and from short-arming to taking a full swing.
The gold right here
Have you come across any videos that explain/demonstrate the short choppy steps thing?
@@AndreiBgatov Hey. I haven’t-I haven’t looked or don’t remember. But you can see it in Nick’s video here. Look @4:44 - as he’s moving back to get into position, his feet are moving in quick, choppy steps. For many people, that may already be a normal, *intuitive!* thing to do. But, I’m tall, and I come from other sports, and my natural inclination is to cover a lot of ground quickly with large strides. But, that’s not really the most effective way in tennis. The first thing my coach told/showed me was that the court isn’t really that wide. I can cover it left to right in just a few steps, so “there is time.” What I needed to do was optimize that time by using small steps to calibrate my approach and judge distances. When I take longer strides, the optimal position is often somewhere in between where i end up. With small steps, i end up in more precise positioning. That’s as well as I can explain it. I’ll try to look for some specific video on the topic.
@@CentaurusRelax314 Thank you! Makes sense. I’ve also noticed that the tennis steps tend to be Not forward strides, But sideways jumps. Small skips. I don’t know what you call them in English. Even when moving forward.
There isn’t much proper running going on as such.
I started playing at 4 years old and competitively thereafter for many years and I sometimes take for granted how hard of a sport it is. I will say your post as a beginner is spot on, feet need to be constantly moving. One of my favorite examples is to watch David Ferrer, perfection. Welcome to our great sport and stay with it, you will get a lot of enjoyment out of it.
Thank you for this video, I am going to try to apply this on my training today
Best Tennis YT Channel ! TY for your nice content. Best wishes from Germany !
Danke 🤩
thank you very much
Awesome video! I think the reason why the average 4.5 player and below don’t have good footwork is because we are not physically and mentally prepared to keep up or sustain good footwork through an entire match.
Time to improve then!
Thanks!!!
Jumprope is tennis players best friend
It would be great to hear you talk about what exactly you mean by "intensity". That word may have different meanings to different players. I may go flatfooted because I am watching the ball with too much intensity.
Haha😂
Hey Nik, what is more importnt for a young recreational player who is trying to improve: A good technique or good movement?
i think they go hand in hand. Only if you have good footwork can you have good technique. And good footwork with bad technique is not of much use. So it is vital to develop both in juniors. A fitness plan should take up as much time in a week as tennis practice, if not more.
Technique first (stationary positions) then movement. Check the Anna, Jen or Chrys series to see how I build it from scratch…
@@rohanpuri7899Fitness Dienst matter much in tennis until the 4.0- 4.5 level. (6-9 UTR) Until then, you can get by with a great serve and footwork. Ultimately the opportunity cost of focusing on fitness is too high at lower levels
Now imagine listening to him doing commentary at Wimbledon
minimum footwork to win multiple Slams ? I bet no one can do it better than Wawrinka. His movement is like rank 400, but overall his fore/back-hand, how he manages to set up things and execute the shoots....are the beast.
What absolute nonsense
We need hot feets, great video Nick!
Thank you Hans 💯
10:38 there's a mouse in the top right
Just a leaf or some dirt
I have never seen you teaching tennis specific footwork. If you have a look at Brian Dabul vids, he is obsessed with that.
Jump to 7:45
Now you got me. I am bad at both, slow and lazy, 10kg overweight.
I try to compensate with heavy balls, doesn't Always work.
Practicing against the wall helps develop quicker feet.
yes critically important, also the most difficult to work on, weekend warriors don't have time to do footwork drills with ladder, so we're doomed 😁
I don't know Nik, I think you would've beaten Sharapova in your respective primes.
Lol
I think when mentioning what makes player truly great you should not only talk about footwork and movement speed, but power and precision/control/aiming as well! Players like Sharapova or Williams sisters or not know for their great movement speed, but they compensate that with powerful penetrating groundstrokes, that they are able to hit at crazy wild angles accross majority of positions!
But how do you set up such a powerful precise shot?
With good footwork
@@Dan1elAndrade You can still have lots of control over your shots and hits it precisely and lots of power generated even when not moving and hitting from one static single position...and that's what i was talking about...when footwork is not involved at all - the strength or hands and flexibility of a wrist what replaces that...you don't need great footwork to be able to hit back majority of return serve shots with great efficiency as one such example...
This is so simple statement that I dont understand why it has to be even mentioned.
Everyone can hit the ball well, so the one who gets to the perfect position to hit more than the other wins, simple. If you could stop the time and move to the position where you want to be you would win = best movers.
I love your white racket. Which one is it?
I love me some Sugarpova! She's gorgeous!
In other words, organization and structure as opposed to speed.
but I don't have that much fitness :(
Borg, surprisingly, in his prime couldn't outrun Wayne Gretzky, Sugar Ray Leonard and a 42 year old Pele yet is considered amongst the fastest tennis players ever.
ruclips.net/video/rAxK8amhuJA/видео.html
Not true. I just watched the video. He got off to a very bad start. But once he got going he caught up and passed both Pele and Sugar Ray Leonard.
@@kchuk1965 the start wasn't that bad that it mitigates how he couldn't beat Pele, way past his prime and Leonard for who running wasn't part of his game or being soundly beaten by Gretzky.
@@Siloguy his start was terrible. He was late to the gun. And as soon as he got up to speed he ran faster than the others. That is clear on the video. He starts way behind and makes up ground as the race went on.
@@kchuk1965 what's is the excuse here where he comes in last , again against Gretzky.

Nick, I notice in your videos the courts are always empty. How do you get people interested in tennis and how do you get people who played through high school and college to keep playing? I taught a lot of kids who were very devoted and trained very hard. But after they graduated many were not good enough to play in college especially if they went to a D1 school. Some did play in college. But after school is over their racquets go in the closet. When I teach now I know the serious 7th grader is probably going to be done with tennis in a few years. I guess it is the same for other things such as violin and piano lessons etc, but tennis is such a great way to stay in shape the rest of your life. With so few people playing the empty courts are being converted to pickleball by townships and counties, so it is getting harder for people who do still play tennis.
Courts are usually empty between 12-3 in south Florida bc it’s too hot to play. That’s when I usually record for lighting reasons. Yes pickle is more popular down here for sure, but people play tennis quite a bit.
Man this vid, could have been 2 mins.
Was Serena considered to have good footwork? Seems to me that she didn’t have great footwork but I actually don’t know. Serena was fast for sure.
imho her footwork was less than stellar but she more than made up for it with her incredible athleticism.
Is alcaraz the fastest player ever?
Thanks for the video. But it’s lacking content. It’s like saying that to play tennis you’ve got to hit the ball well, but not telling/showing how. Some footwork tips would’ve been good to see 😊 Thank you
Footwork lesson with Anna coming soon…
@@IntuitiveTennis You mentioned some 2-hour course on footwork, but no info. Is it more practical? Does it have specific demos and exercises?
The only footwork tip you need is jump rope and hop till hopping with a wide base is unconsciously done by you. The rest will come
If you have bad footwork stick to pickleball!!
Why do you repeat yourself and drag out your videos lately?
If he does, then it's because the pressure to release content and stay relevant is extreme. No one can put out unique high quality content on a weekly basis for years, so something's gotta give. Another, more positive reason, is that people will naturally be attracted to new content, rather than search for existing content. Even to those who have seen similar before, repetition breeds knowledge. And last, old concepts rehashed in new forms can be an incremental improvement.
But I'm not convinced he's tilting towards repetition in the first place.
@Knotwilg he could have made this video in 3 minutes but dragged it out till 9
He does these longer videos and then clips them into YT Shorts
Big 4? lol
"The male poor Sharapova" 🙂 Ältere Turbolader-Modelle hatten auch immer 2-3 Gedenk-Sekunden, bis der Punch kam 😛
