she will be a good player with the help of your teaching boy you have a great way of explaining things ps do you coach kids as well because you seem to be so patient love your videos

[@IntuitiveTennis]

I do

[@cnt2495]

I love how patient you are with her despite her just being a beginner. Your encouragement towards her shows your own understanding of the sport. You understand that it's a really difficult sport to get into yet you give her the confidence to become an even better player. I hope she understands what an amazing opportunity it is to have a great coach such as yourself!

[@-Munditimum-]

What she's doing here with all the info coming at her at once is incredible, keeping in mind she's never really played before. Credit to the patient coach who is full of heavy info, but knows how to disclose it smoothly and effectively. I wonder if the student knows about the video and can check her own movements and lesson on this platform. Awesome Job coach!

[@leandershah1617]

I had my first tennis lesson after over 10 years which were a summer camp group lessons, my trainer run me down this exact routine. I might as well pick up the basics under supervision (fix my posture and wrist rotation issues) before taking an iPad to court, watch your videos and learn more (this shouldn't be free btw!). Love your videos, Nikola!

I started playing tennis in 1996. I played until the beginning of college and then I had to stop. A lot of study and work... 3 months ago I managed to return. Thanks to your videos, I managed to improve my fundamentals and yesterday I already won my first match of this return. Thank you very much! Great lessons, excellent teacher.

in the 1980.... no money to take tennis lessons... become good self learning . but street tennis can never fully compete with tennis lesson like this. Thank you for sharing the tennis sport to the mass.... while making it fun and easy without costing an arm and leg just to learn how to play tennis.

If you doubt, don't. Listen to him. He's doing well, as a teacher. Do exactly what he's asking. :)

[@kevinarmes9804]

Very interesting approach of starting almost at contact point and just showing the forward motion. And later letting her take a little more backswing to gain racquet speed. I guess it simplifies a little more. I do like allowing the beginner to start a little bit farther back, but I completely agree it is easier to add to the swing than take away if they start doing things wrong. Really good job! Spot on as usual. I mean look at her at 9:30, she is hitting smoothly with topspin and following through correctly, correct grip, looks natural... I mean results don't lie. I have never gotten a true beginner with results that clean that quickly.

Yea I can really relate on the changing grips early on part cause when I started playing all of my strokes were hit with an eastern forehand grip and I had to change all of it later on and it got pretty hard

I wish coach Nik could come to South Africa to help us here to refine our game!

[@shanep3965]

Thank you for posting this video. I started playing when I was 10, and now I’m trying to teach my sons. I remember being taught to start in a closed stance with the racquet all the way back and strike with one long forward motion. My sons are whiffing and getting wristy swings. I’m going to try this open stance with racquet lined up already . It makes sense that its easier to line up the racquet head and ball in an open stance for first timers.

[@serveyourname5565]

I do hope she knows how lucky she is to have such a great coach on the court from Day One. As for me, I began by hitting against the wall all by myself.

[@samurai7411]

Always an amazing coach! My only question is why did you have her facing straight ahead in her FH? I know tennis has been moving towards more of an open stance, but I've always heard: turn turn turn. Then you can actually rotate though the ball.

Very nice lesson and you both accomplished a lot. In keeping with your great intuitive style, consider kinesthetic learners "feel" a shot better than "see" the concept. I like the directions on finishing the forehand witht the back of the hand against the cheek. Same on the backhand. Helpful! Why start in full open stance/square to the net instead of partially turned? Best,

[@iamNathanGreen]

I'm wondering why you don't let someone try both one handed and two handed backhands, and see what feels more natural? Especially since she stated it's harder for her with 2 hands at 7:44. Can you explain?

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Two-Handed Backhand is easier for women.

[@iamNathanGreen]

@@IntuitiveTennis I figured. Is it because they are biologically less strong then men? Or some other reason? Would you let a guy try both as a complete beginner?

[@hafadaze9046]

Because beginners shouldn’t learn a one handed right away it is way too hard it’s better she learn the two handed properly first then she can distinguish if it’s right for her. I know because I use a one handed myself and trust me it’s way harder to master than a two handed she’s gonna struggle.

[@fingersm]

@@IntuitiveTennis and better for men as well.

[@DanielBakarcic]

Beautiful beginner 😃

[@jemmimafaustere6448]

Damn, nick got a baddie for us here in the building right now🔥

[@gregmionske8632]

Can you explain the reasoning behind teaching the forehand from an open stance? The program I'm teaching with now makes a point of teaching beginners to rotate into a closed stance. Just wondering what your next progressions might be. Do you move into semi-open in the next lesson and then closed? Thanks!

[@IntuitiveTennis]

I explain it here at 12:55 mark kzbin.info/www/bejne/inPPqpWdmNyGjsk

[@Fernwald84]

Nik: Can you explain why tennis coaches teach the groundstrokes before the volley? I would think it is better for beginners to start with the volley since (1) it is mechanically a much simpler stroke and (2) it reduces the most difficult challenge in tennis--predicting exactly where the ball will be when I go to strike it. The volley removes the variables of court surface and largely reduces the issue of reading ball spin because the ball is struck before it hits the court surface. I would think that women beginners would benefit from starting with the volley even more than men because women tend to have played fewer (or no) ball sports as youngsters and this increases their challenge in predicting ball behavior after bouncing.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Very good George. I rally volleys with beginner juniors prior to groundstroke rallies.

[@Lsking401]

When she started the backhand, do you think it would help if you told her to move her feet if she needs to?

Very well done lesson. Keeping it simple. Just questions about the serve portion. For the forehand and backhand you showed your student the correct grip. In the video there was no mention of the continental grip on the serve and it looked like she was using the forehand grip. Was that intentional or did you just cut out of the video a discussion of the grip for the serve? So do you feel for a beginner it is a step too far to ask them to use a continental grip? Thanks.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Continental grip right away which she was using

[@allahousalami]

what's the ready position grip? (the forehand or the ackend one ?)

[@Logan-ui5dr]

Your bottom hand should be in the forehand position and your top should be ready for the backhand.
