4 key tips to improve your movement and positioning on the court | 1H TRANSFORMATION EPISODE 16

In today’s episode, I worked with Victoria, an extremely talented young Brazilian with huge potential. While she possesses an incredible variety of shots at her young age, she still has a lot to improve, and that is what we focused on during our session.
She exhibits amazing power in her forehand and backhand, but she needs to further develop herself as a player and reduce her number of unforced errors. Together, we worked on her body positioning, her tendency to anticipate her next move before completing the hitting motion, and corrected some minor issues with her service and backhand technique.
If you're looking to improve your tennis skills as much as Victoria is, stay tuned for more technical sessions and tennis-related videos.

Patrick

[@patrickmouratoglou_official]

What techniques have you found effective in enhancing your court movement during a match?

[@epanna]

Keeping angle of elbow upright for powerful shot and running quickly for a return.

[@parmodkumar4182]

Hi Patrick Sir, thank you for giving tips. If you don't mind, may I have your personal email so I can connect with you.

[@arangomie8868]

Patrick, take good care of our brazilian girl. Its so good to see Vic smiling all the time while playing. Amazing potential, for sure.

[@heartofmay]

13:32 her forehand looks too comfortable and powerful enough to lead the game. This is what I needs in my tennis to get rid of my stiffness on my strokes. I appreciate you Mr.Patrick for your literally valuable lessons on KZbin. You are always the best coach for me even in Korea.

[@LiamApilado]

Big smiles throughout the whole practice. That's what you love to see

[@user-pm6dm2qg6h]

definately not the case for every day training.. no pain no gain as Patric said

[@willydeangelis699]

Great session! Love this longer videos

[@peter_ausnit]

Great content as always! It’s hard to follow the game though when the camera moves around so much.

[@sheetalkadam9666]

Thankyou so much patrick sir you are a super teaching coach.I have seen your many videos...Your tips was very nice 👏👏 The way you teach was superb.! Thankyou for sharing with us the new tips👍

[@jaydipnimavat1064]

Respected Sir Your videos are very helpful for continuous improvement of the game. Thanks a lot

[@AF-gt1fv]

Thank you. So much better with just 1 camera during a rally 👌

[@federicotown8052]

Always great your videos !

[@LiamApilado]

Would love to see Ksenia and Victoria one day in a final of a Grand Slam

[@stealthcat100]

Patrick , you can turn this one into a female Sampras . She has the same natural athleticism and cat like movement with easy power . Teach her to attack the net how Sampras did and you will develop a star that plays with beauty . This one is a diamond , I think you know it .

[@roryoconnor4989]

Ok

[@JAM-fm8lt]

Or turn into another Simona Halep. Patrick should be banned from coaching any one ever again

[@alexanderaigner5663]

Great advice 😂

[@VivaVictory]

He has been working on clearing Halep's name. He admitted that it was his team that proposed Halep take collagen (apparently it was contaminated during the manufacturing process), from a company, and he's pushed to clear her name. Personally, I think the onus is on the sportsperson to check out any recommendations to see whether they can/can't take certain supplements, as it's their body and their career; and they know the stakes are high. I think it was somewhat naïve of Halep, at her level, to just take something without considering the risks of contamination, the effects on her body, and whether it would be permissible under the rules. It's an unfortunate situation but I don't think he should be "banned from coaching..."

[@JAM-fm8lt]

@VivaVictory No he didn't. He was incharge of Halep and he also decided what Halep took or eat. She trusted him fully. he was getting paid to look after her and her well-being. He should be banned or he should at least have a decency to ban himself from coaching ever again.

[@caseyc6895]

The camera work makes me dizzy.

[@stpetetennispro2012]

Absolutely. Had to turn away from the TV 📺. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@aaronp0324]

I got a lot from this lesson.❤

[@wishyrater]

I love how she plays with a big smile

[@maria-bm8ym]

How tall is Victoria? Great video Patrick!!

[@AdsTezzori]

Gostei do vídeo

[@federicotown8052]

Nice !

[@ivanalmeidabaifca]

Vamos Victória!!!!! BRBRBRBR

[@LuisFiana]

Ustedes Son muy buenos. Pero por favor resulvan el problema con la camara que hace imposible apreciar correctamente su extraordinario trabajo

[@marianna7371]

Please make a video for kids how to handle/receive/return very powerful balls. Like adult kind of powerful ball :) At age 8-12 the size and weight of kids is very different and skilled tennis players sometimes can't handle huge blows from large kids that learned to use the body weight well. Some 11 year olds these days have weight of 18 year olds and when facing small kid, the game turns to be quite one sided...and painful...

[@sevfett1318]

GRAET VIDEO AS USEUAL YOU DEFINITLEY DESERVE 1 ILLION SUBS

[@chemasevilla1]

😮

[@petrok5759]

body movement is very good.

[@BRAWLxVIDEOSofficial]

Hi Can you Tell me How to be better mentaly and dont be Angry on the Court

[@jfmmp]

Search professional help also known as Psychoanalysis. It will make a revolution in your life and, for consequence, your game.

[@matheusneri5422]

BRASIL 💚💛💙

[@tanishawilliams262]

Good evening, Patrick, I've got a question for you. At Ipswich Sports Club we will book a day to rally. Thank you it's ok if you can't and thank you for reading my message 😊

[@rubiton99999999]

The most talented junior yet - has the weapons- big forehand and is willing to come into the net to finish a point.

[@jpaulglobal]

The biggest difference between her forehand and his is that she uses a lot more WRIST action. Who else noticed this HUGE difference?

[@Mikypiky74]

Nice to see. She has got a very masculine style to play

[@XxdextriousxX]

Came for the tips. Stayed for his peach tempting my tip

[@user-cd7jy1qy2e]

We'll see how this Brazilian girl wanna be at 10 years later. Really Amaze..

[@donadu76]

I really like PM’s attitude, and his videos in general, however sometimes he gets me thinking: “there are no two words in the English language more harmful than… GOOD JOB!” (quote from Whiplash movie) 😅

[@AdsTezzori]

Ou você criou o vídeo depois, e colocou o vídeo magicamente depois com data antiga nós status, ou já tinha o plano b. Óbvio demais.

[@VARMOT123]

Who is sachin dev duggal the indian dude ?.

[@miapapa1955]

Great video , Camera A bit to shaky.

[@yuetchuen]

i can bring her to the world no.1

[@priyadarshiniparmekar2552]

Ok businessman👍

[@frankojudoka]

She gave both of you a workout.

[@IEATPEACH]

bro when will you do a video with Halep?

[@jinetduran6621]

C'est quoi cette caméra qui bouge ?

[@brahimlokrisio6339]

The only lesson he teach is pum pum wow what a lesson

[@lukitazz25]

why does the camera has to move all the time, cant watch it

[@absolutelynothingtoseehere]

music is distracting

[@YK-YK-YK]

Contents are great. But… camera is not stable. Pls Employ a video cameraman. Or use GoPro

[@eastbaystreet1242]

This was a great lesson with a wonderful young woman, but the camera jitter and extreme camera movement were awful.

[@Charmander009]

Turn of all the background music , annoying

[@user-ok1me5qz7c]

videos without background music were better

[@jeremysmith9694]

Music is so annoying. Am i at club?

[@sinand881]

Why add 6 year old garage band loops to the background?

[@sinand881]

Can't bear it had to stop watching

[@AvilaLuiss]

Need to improve the camera, it moves so fasT that its hard to focus

[@jocakenyeres5298]

Rune made the wrong decision to no longer work with Patrick...😞

[@blakebrothers3984]

Was with him today against Mmoh

[@junha_kim]

find a better person for the camera work.

[@JAM-fm8lt]

Patrick. With all due respect, you should be banned from coaching any one ever again for destroying Simona Halep career. Do the right thing and stop coaching any one ever again

[@blakebrothers3984]

Gee thats pretty agressive Is this Simona?

[@JAM-fm8lt]

@blakebrothers3984 No. Just someone who likes to call out when someone is wronged. Any coaches who destroys a player career should be banned from coaching ever again, and Patrick should ban himself from coaching ever again.

More BS from this guy
