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.

He knew after the serve, he just played along from there. Ain’t no way a day 1 human being gets the serve down. That’s like seeing a baby 2 seconds born stand, run to the car and drive home 😂

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.

[@socman3988]

[@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.

You should invite him to do reviews with you. Give him some good PR. Outside of that I am not a big fan of videos that put people on at their expense but clearly you hit the lottery with him. He was incredibly patient and I loved how he came up to you numerous times to shake your hand. He is excellent and rare kind of coach.

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.

Would love to see tennis teaching videos where you teach one stroke at a time and teach how pros actually do it. Show us how you actually do it and then show the slow motion of it. Then you can make videos of pros showing the different variations out there and explain the pros and cons of the different variations. You can make videos on how to attack low balls, high balls, short balls, deep balls, slices. You can make videos on how to be consistent with the different balls so you aren't attacking but not patty caking either. Also a video on flattening out the balls and when to use it. A video on running side to side to hit the balls. Etc.
