Still can't believe a legend like Venus is out here on KZbin dropping gems like this. What a time to be alive.

[@17teacmrocks]

hello fellow tennis scholars

[@jeanm3506]

Amazing

[@sonsoftheedelweiss72]

Very very excellent explanation Venus. You hv a very warm and personable presentation.

[@antoniomaciel9530]

En eso radica su grandeza en compartir tanto conocimiento es una mujer maravillosa

[@mlbaker40]

Venus, you're so generous to do this. Years ago I was in Key Biscayne and you tapped me on the shoulder and said excuse me so you could go watch a match. I think your touch blessed my serve. I have been rooting for you every time you played. I truly believe that you can occupy courts at any tennis facility and people will fight to get your knowledge. Not to mention the added prestige to the club due to your presence. You're a legend, others do it without your credentials. Best wishes to you and warmest thanks.

[@spillomina]

I love how she doesn’t charge for it. Meanwhile there’s Patrick Mouratoglou and everything he does is just to promote his business. Glad Serena dropped him!

[@mlbaker40]

@@spillominaAs I recall, Venus and Serena were champions winning majors and many other events before I ever heard the name Patrick. I didn't see what he had to offer. And, Venus has one of the best Volleys in the game. People have forgotten about her unbelievable hands. McEnroe has an academy and he's still using a continental grip....

[@black_nebula]

@@spillomina well he will be back with Serena for Wimbly.

[@spillomina]

@@black_nebula Oh gosh no! Patrick is always up to no good. Serena should drop him

[@spillomina]

@@black_nebula Sasha Bajin would do much better as a coach for Serena!

[@brucetrappleton6984]

WOOOOOOWWWW!!!!! What a privilege to have Venus as a teacher. Ok, because of this, she’s my favorite tennis player ever. Do you know how humble someone has to be in order to be teaching PRICELESS CLASSES online, after having been world number one, which means you could charge whatever you want for a class?

[@bournejason66]

Venus has gifts on explaining complicate topics into bite size info that even beginners can understand well. 👍👍

[@TotalTennisGeek]

This!!!!

[@JorgeBrown]

🎯

[@kpizzyrizla3066]

No cap

[@pattidmc]

No one ever told me that. Oh my goodness. Thank you 🙏

[@rnsw4572]

I would love to see more of you breaking down your past iconic matches like the 2005 Wimbledon final

[@ChrisJohnsonChannel]

Cant believe these lessons are free for us to practice with.. it’s a blessing

[@svetcovladich9996]

Hi, Venus. Excellent explanation and demonstration as usual. I would just like to see a camera angle from behind you so we could actually see the trajectory of the ball and where it lands on the service court vs the regular serve. I hope it won't be too complicated for your camera crew. Thanks so much for taking the time and giving us all the gift of knowledge. You're a great teacher.

[@MrX-wd8cm]

I was thinking the same thing

[@jb3558]

Hi Venus - as a technical tennis coach - who coincidentally uses most of your style (I've only just found your channel), the way you describe your details is so very simple - by far the best and most effective way to show a learning player. I have always found that keeping it logical and simple is the most successful and efficient way for someone to understand and put into practise. In the UK (my country) the LTA thrive on making things ridiculously complicated and that is why the UK has virtually no decent players - our obvious successes have come from them going elsewhere for their fine tuning (Murray etc). I/we do not teach British Tennis, never have. I was brought up through the USPTR many years ago and subsequently added various european approaches. By far the best pathway. This has been more entertaining than I expected. Thank you.

[@tonydeluca271]

I really appreciate these videos. I've been playing for two years and it's nice to have a world-class player breaking the shots down for the rest of us. Thanks!!

[@bhaskar1303]

Thanks for doing this. Its absolutely an honor to learn from a legend.

[@kpizzyrizla3066]

I love these...they are literally the best serve tutorials on youtube. The previous serve tutorial has made my serve way more consistent...no cap. Please keep doing these, folk like me really benefit.

[@flutehead]

Thank you Venus-you’re so amazing!

[@sueklosterman2936]

Are you going to post more tennis tutorials? I’m loving what you have given us so far. Your explanations are definitely easier to understand than anyone else I have ever watched. Thanks SO much!

[@sunrisesolutions14]

Venus I love the videos. How about some “slow motions” and/or “close ups” specially when hitting the ball… to see the point of contact and pronation. Ty for sharing your wisdom and experience ❤️❤️❤️

[@kn0ptical517]

Thank you so much Venus!! The first video on serving helped me improve my serve so much, I can’t wait to use these tips next practice 🎾🎾

[@macropod77]

The beauty of the lesson by Venus is that she translates her vast knowledge and experience in to the wording understandable for beginners - straight to the point. In that short video I found many tips I never heard about while watching instructions by others for years. Good job, Venus!!!

[@larrybranchii]

VENUS!! These videos are all coming in the clutch at the right time. Thank you a million times !!

[@fionnula1633]

Thank you again for sharing! Your videos are so easy to follow and understand. Your truly a kind person to take your time and share! Not many other pros would.💕👍

[@markmiller2128]

Good job venus. Would love to hear match tactics against different types of players such as power players, defensive players etc.

[@shaharrosenberg8659]

Venus you are not only an amazing player and person, but also a great coach!!! Your previous video about the serve really helped me a lot and I am going to try your tips about the kick serve soon, for sure. You and Serena are a true inspiration and keep being such a great human! Thank you!!!

[@KimberlyOsmer]

So grateful you are sharing your knowledge with us, Venus! The best!

[@Virinchi54]

These are the finest instruction videos by far. Thank you for your openness and for sharing your knowledge in such a simple manner.

[@stephenend7114]

Super video. This is the more challenging serve and is still a work in progress. Many thanks to Venus for helping the rest of us understand the basics of a kick serve

[@thecryptkeeper701]

She’s a Queen.. also the queen of tennis.. She will leave a great mark on this planet. Thank you ❤️

[@mario1523]

Thank you for your generosity in giving directions

[@melissah319]

Thank you so much, Venus! I started playing in January, something I’ve wanted to do since I was a kid but couldn’t afford to do. Decades later and I’m finally going after it. I love it so much I ended up working my way up to playing 5-6 times a week. Could you do a video about how to care for your wrist, elbows, etc.? Not just warm ups and cool downs but what your entire routine is around this?

[@bryannguyen7388]

This has been the most helpful kick serve video! Steps for kick serve made easily to understand. I always come back to watch it Explaining contact as a clock and hitting at 7 has help much with serve execution. Really appreciate content like this! Keep up the awesome tennis info

[@temp850]

What a lovely offering to those of us that need to work on our games. Thanks dear Venus, for giving us your time. Bless you.

[@aimeepaterson4423]

Most Interesting & Extremely Useful. Thank You So Much, Ms Venus Williams. Keep On Thriving!💗

[@zoeszlips9373]

I love your videos! You always seem so positive and happy in them! Will subscribe!

[@JoyL-vf5co]

Venus, thank you! I am learning a lot from your video. You explain it in a way that is easy to understand.

[@vincent3jansenvincent3ja-zn4jk]

Great video so clear in your instructions! I really get it when you explain things and show it!

[@reynelorenzo4095]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It's such a warm feeling to hear techniques straight from the pros

[@petertowneya]

Thanks for posting Venus. It's great to see you can simplify this serve, it's probably my weakest. I've noticed while you play matches that your rhythm and flexibility is amazing and it's great to see you still have this. It means you can demonstrate what you are explaining!

[@kwcarter04]

Thanks Coach Venus! Great clarity to your instruction. I can't wait to get on the court and give the kick serve a try.

[@chrismclaughlin6323]

Just amazing. Thank you. Cannot wait to try this at the weekend!

[@danieljulianadames]

Best teacher ever! it's amazing how you're able contextualize the "why" some steps must be done a certain way, not just because... I'm learning and applying this stuff on the court and reaping better results. Thank you Venus :)

[@brunoampm1]

She is The Best Teacher Ever, I said the same thing just now hahaha... "Best Teacher Ever! OMG Venus you could tech us ANYTHING, you are just born to be a teacher... Love you a lot, Im Brazilian and English is my second language but the way you teach, all your methodologist is so specific, natural e enjoyable, fun at the same time... You are Best Teacher Ever!!!!

[@jkpbgfl]

I think it's awesome that you offer your skills and share this content. Thank you.

[@sofiyagul]

Really enjoying you beginner videos, can't wait for more tips!

[@minihoneybee]

Your videos will help many kids who are new to the sports, especially those who cannot afford (a lot) coaching time. You are a true beauty inside and out, thank you!

[@VenusWilliams]

Happy to help!

[@marlondallas624]

Taking my nieces to the tennis court here teaching them to play but I'm first learning myself and listening to you i think i can really do this... thanks i love the game love you n serena

[@wystona]

Love these tutorials! Informative and clear - makes you think about it and digest. Then clearly demonstrated by a champion who we've seen using these techniques successfully at the highest level - and making us feel like we could do it too. And much fun.

[@brooklynduro]

[@brunexjundiai]

What a legend! I watched this video at least 10 times, so much information. Each time I pick something else. Thank you sooooo much for this 🤗🤩

[@paulapatterson4301]

Wow, thank you. You definitely have the gift for reaching different level players. Explanations and visual example are great teaching ability. So nice to back it up and watch for everything you verbally touched on.

[@ShaderockLouis]

Really in-depth pointers; actually didn’t know that much about tennis. I love following.

[@NancyFoxTV]

Wow there is so much that goes into the mechanics of different serves! Great explanation @Venus Williams

[@quanghunghoang9654]

A lesson with a mindset of a legend tennis player help a lot. Very easy to learn ❤

[@minghon8642]

Thank you for your great presentation of how to do a kick serve.

[@aracen74]

You’re advice is the best! A++

[@alanladonnasmart2017]

You're a great teacher!! Thanks so much!!! What a career!!

[@lynnturman8157]

I've never played tennis but have been a fan of it for about 20 years. I just love to watch it. I've heard the announcers mention "kick serve" and "slice" countless times but never really understood what they were talking about. Until this video. Thank you, Venus, for making me a more knowledgeable fan & making the sport even more enjoyable to watch than it already was.

[@rorymacgowan4541]

These are the best tennis instructional videos out there hands down.

[@VIN70783]

thank you Venus... perfect lesson

[@burakdalklc885]

Hi Venus. Thank you very much for doing this. I started to play tennis couple months ago. I will definitely watch these videos over and over again. So helpful! Thanks again. Love from Turkey :)

[@rdmalonso1]

Thanks Venus , your lesson are awesome. Great to see a top pro giving tips. Hope to see you on tour soon.

[@ThunderALLA]

Excellent teaching and explaining about the ins and outs of a kick serve

[@amitsrivastava8611]

Love you!!!! Thanks for the helpful videos. 😊

[@zerodegrekelvin2]

So nice of you to share your tennis knowledge! One little critic is to frame the video so we don't loose sight of the ball when it is at its highest. Thank you so much!

[@SlavaKriger]

Thanks for your video and indepth explanation. What was missing for me - a slow motion of how you serve. Great job.

[@mvargasish]

Love your videos, so helpful

[@silviolporto]

Thanks Venus, great tips. You are the best

[@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides]

I'm enjoying watching these techniques be explained by someone who has competed, (and of course succeeded), at the highest level. Very interesting to hear it from your perspective, Venus. You asked for us to tell you what we like and don't like, and I wanted to suggest some slo-motion shots during these explanation videos. I think that would help the viewer even more and give us more time to see exactly how to execute the steps. With or without slo-mo, I'm looking forward to more!

[@adidbello]

Loving this explanation!

[@jordanpai]

These videos are amazing! Looking forward to seeing more in the future

[@honeybeebadger]

Loving the videos thanks Venus

[@jelenaholl7772]

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation, its very helpful!!! 🙏❤

[@UAMartin7]

Thank you so much Venus!

[@cyberpunk8945]

Very interesting. You are an amazing teacher and I love how you break things down. It can't be easy for a champ to know so well what might trip beginners up and communicate in such a clear way. I think you have the talent to be a coach.

[@Ormsby504]

Great tip on moving the hand around for a different grip for this serve. Many thanks for great coaching tips from someone who has been there and done it all. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@isabelburgos6611]

Thanks a lot Venus you are amazing and improving my tennis with you is an honor
