[@ericfournier6154]

This video exceeded my expectations. You must be pleased with having found the PERFECT coach of what you were going for. "There's no WAY you can kick serve on the first day!" This guy was clearly passionate about the sport, and you probably made his dream come true. It would be an honor to hit balls with someone as hilarious (and talented) as you. Thanks for the chuckles.

[@gladiatorstribe]

That's so true! I got extremely lucky with the coach! Praneet is a great guy!! Thanks a lot for the positive feedback!

[@JW-bw8nj]

The coach seemed like a good fella, but it was clear he was/is definitely burned out from teaching lessons. Please do him a favor and take him up on his offer to hit. He mentioned it several times for a reason. He needs it.

[@gladiatorstribe]

Definitely will!

I was getting sooo anxious for the coach. You took him in and he turned out to be such a great sport. He is the type of person to devote your friendship and time to. A life long friend. Great video.

[@BillChristen3]

That was GREAT! The coach was really good. You could hear some of the burnout in him. It's hard when you were a world class player and you dedicate your life to a sport and then things happen. It can be difficult to accept that it didn't work out like you want, but then you go on to help others and that is the gift. To me this video was more than a prank. It was revealing of a few things. Loved the fact that the coach was transparent and gave his girlfriend so much credit. This "prank" probably motivated him in more ways than we will ever know.

[@darkpenink6730]

Of course he knows because no coach will show off his serve at full swing on someone who claim he just pick up a racquet like that.

[@whydoyouneedtoknow4610]

I mean I know badminton players can get pretty decent serves on day 1. Not this level but they can get passable serves in one day and give them like a week they can get good serves. Badminton players are really good at overhead motions and a lot of the kinetic chain for serves is similar to overhead shots in badminton.
