Important thing is to visualize your success. I am playing RF in the Wimbledon finals. I beat him in the tie break of the 5th set. I console RF who is crying before the trophy award ceremony. Jim Courier interviews me. I thank all who helped me to get to this point; one of them is Nikola Aracic who is in my team box. Rafa Nadal yells from the first row if I want to go fishing with him … Then someone pushes me on the shoulder “Dmitry, wake up, go do the spring cleanup …” it is my wife. She ruins the dream.

If you have big walls and big space doesn’t if its rough for me i can just train on walls 100 jumping rope every day and push up 20 times thats it

[@ceoofchachaslide2338]

Never thought of weighting the racquet, cheers Nick! Gordon

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thank you Gordon

[@24tomorrow]

All I need now is a house instead of my current small studio and I'd be good to go 😂

[@rasta1017]

Yes

[@kaanisn6238]

Same

[@michelleburt3468]

There is a whole world outside. Try a public park.

[@RKA30]

Lol

[@mirthepeeters65]

I have a golden retriever. We train together..i hit the ball, she retrieves..no blanket needed for me 😁 great video 👍

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thank you Armand

[@alandavis927]

Alan D. - I like the cone exercise

[@dmitryprivate6558]

Hi Nikola, Thanks for a very helpful video. Of course, if the book is in Spanish, you have to say "para español oprima dos" before you start swinging :)

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thanks Dmitry 😂😂

[@SenthilKumar-ny3qt]

Thanks coach. I have been practising the halfvolley and volley at home.feel gr8 coach. I will try the rope and the blanket in my backyard.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

👍👍

[@kevingilhooley2064]

Hi Nikola...I like the drills and use some of them at home...we can still get out to run and cycle(really makes you appreciate the simple things in life) so I take my racquet with me and swing away in a very secluded spot...not so sure if Andre likes his head being thrown around though,good book by the way...stay safe everyone in USA.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Hi Kevin, thank you. Yes awesome book. Be safe

[@DanielHelc]

Awesome, you just helped me figure out what to do with my old/retired Wilson frames. I just saw someone hitting the ground shots against the old mattress :). Thank you (hvala).

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thank you Daniel, yes old racquets can be useful 👍👍

[@hishamhabib5825]

Great video, thank you!

[@dobrychlopak6517]

[@hellothere848]

Great Drills!

[@YennyPolanco]

That is very creative indeed, and looks like a great tennis workout. Thank you for your wonderful work.

[@thomasc4777]

Excellent drills. Your creativity is very much appreciated. In the home drills, you mentioned the use of a "soft" ball. Is it larger than a tennis ball? What is it made of? Better yet: what is it and where would you get one? Thanks again!

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thank you. Type in 10 and under tennis. This a red stage 1 ball for ages 4-6. You can get these at Target/Walmart

[@zaynhashmi9138]

Excellent ideas...Thanks for sharing!

[@Arefmshammoud]

great tips. Thanks

[@drmitofit2673]

I just got a Ksports tennis rebounder net which is perfect for at home practice. I was able to set it up in my basement for convenient winter training. Since one can hit with the first bounce off the metal plank, one doesn't need much fore-aft room and you could even set it up on a lawn or on sand/gravel although a hard even surface would be better for footwork. You can hit the ball very hard with spin and the net absorbs the energy and returns the ball like a coach gently feeding you balls. If I try to hit hard topspin on a wall, the ball comes back like a cannon shot, so it's harder to establish a fast wall rally. With this rebounder net I could rally 50 hits in a row fairly easily after getting used to it in less than a half hour. It is really good for stroke mechanics, tracking the ball, learning the sweet spot of your racket, gradually ramping up power, timing, shot accuracy/repeatability, and aerobic fitness with a high rate of strokes per session. You can work up a sweat. The ball bounces off the metal plank with a "Pong" sound which can be a training bonus. I try to hold my racket high in anticipation and wait for the Pong sound before I initiate a looping accelerating stroke through the ball, allowing racket momentum to power the shot. Because of the more rapid fire pacing, I have to work on applying good follow thru, because it is all too easy to cut follow thru short in anticipation of the next feed. Alternating forehand backhand is very good for learning how to quickly switch grips by feel. If your students use this at home for basic eye hand coordination and racket face angle, they could use your coaching time to focus on more advanced techniques.

[@GuacamoleyNacho]

Wow never heard of a rebounder net. Will check it out. Thanks.

[@marykistnen6837]

Excellent. Good cardio workout too.

Great idea bit like when baseball players put that weight on the bat when they are warming up, used to use leg and wrist weight and found that helpful

[@oliveroshea6752]

Love this!! I swapped the book for a 500ml bottle of water! Works great!

[@tradingwithwill7214]

VR tennis might be an option as well you can even buy handle adapters.

[@LePetitPrinceDuTennis]

WoW 🤩

[@txyakfishing]

Lol. "This drill is only for players who know how to aim." Nick promptly hits ball over blanket and all the way to Croatia in the process.

[@_OpdeeMist]

Great instruction on your videos.... All that comes to mind is the theme song to Benny Hill..... sorry I had to laugh....

[@antoine208]

[@passionforsportsrf7311]

Brilliant ideas 👍👍👍

[@giovanniadinyira8347]

Super

[@courtneywise2491]

I hope this works for us.

[@ketokonazol]

Which balla ti use ? Soft ball for Kids for example 3-8 years old? Thanks

[@SergioSantosKarla]

muito bom. Parabéns.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Obrigado

[@luicria]

Please make a video for people who lives in apartments with no backyards (like me)

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Sure

[@AtroXAir]

The book is genius. But I do not have books anymore at my home :)

[@LeihKauf]

Hahah fantastic!! Lets make an Instagram Challenge from one of the exercises 😂😂

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thank you 🙏. Yes wall sit bounce the ball challenge 😂

[@LeihKauf]

Intuitive Tennis hahaha yes make the legs burn like fire 😂😂

[@save215]

Like it! -> s. my block arm-training

[@ProfessorBoooty]

what book weight should be?

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Andre Agassi’s Open was the right weight 😂. Book can’t be to heavy or you won’t be able to swing the racquet.

[@parrishpreston9238]

I meant Nick I'll share with my students hahaha stuff bro. My writing is bad today hahaha

[@IntuitiveTennis]

I know what you meant, thank you 🤜🤛

[@VNTAAcademy]

good

[@claudiapors3048]

This is great!! What is the soft ball that you use in the home drills?

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Red ball I think

[@TeamGiffnock]

Great video - like the use of the blanket! Our coaches have been issuing daily tennis challenges on our channel to our members to keep them engaged in the sport and to keep their skills ticking over while everyone is stuck at home. They have uploaded 18 tennis challenges so far.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

That’s awesome Have they tried these challenges: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4SZdY2DraqHhqs

[@TeamGiffnock]

@@IntuitiveTennis We will pass these on thanks

[@Donnyshottips]

good hot tip

[@ZrohTempezz]

what strings do you recommend on the 2015 Pure Drive?

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Depends on your level/preferences etc. I’m currently playing with Kirschbaum super smash

[@bretterickson7089]

Nik, do you think that using a weighted racket has a negative impact on your ground stroke form? I know it is good for building up racket head speed, but does it affect your swing motion due to the weight? Thanks!!

[@IntuitiveTennis]

I am not a fan of shadow strokes, however with weight it can help the finish.

[@LeihKauf]

Intuitive Tennis oh very interesting!! Why don‘t you like shadow swings?? In my younger ages I was swinging more than my shadow 😂😂 Where is your critic?

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Not a big fan because we can’t recreate our strokes. The shadow stroke will be missing several technical elements that occur intuitively when we strike a ball. Having said that I do like swinging a weighted racquet, I feels better and prolongs the finish.

[@LeihKauf]

Intuitive Tennis ok thx Nik

[@karlopeternel7685]

too cool

[@sanjaykietme1]

Confused between VCORE 98 & VCORE PRO 97 310gm, please advise. My priority is easy acess to spin, wrist comfort and feel.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Don’t know anything about Yonex sorry

[@SoJoTennis]

I like the basic foot drills and the dribbling. But i would offer caution with the weight on the racket. It makes a long lever and will injure your shoulder rotator cuff and bicep tendon. If I was you I would put a disclaimer on. Possibly a good idea for the young and under 40.I would check with a trainer first.

[@madeleineyapo851]

What are the drills name?

[@nikhilmaddirala]

What's the weight of the book?

[@harrypot3381]
