Serena Williams' Practice at the Mouratoglou Academy

[@lijkn]

Prepare first, pay attention on your shot, more spin, hit deep, forward, keep your eyes on the ball... it is interesting to see what the world's best player is told from her coach is not much different from what I, a mere mortal recreational player, am told from my coach. it tells me no magic, but her hard works on executing basic fundamentals has created her magic.

[@UCanOnlyChangeU]

I agree ☝️

[@gozer825]

Coaching is easy. Learning is the hard part:

[@matguillaume2324]

@@gozer825 I could not agree with you more. So true.

[@vubot1]

Knowing what to do and doing it are two different things. If you ever watch your coach play tennis, you think, "Hold it. He's not doing what he's teaching me to do." Executing is difficult.

[@Siier]

1:29 - Now that is world class champion execution. She pays attention to all the details. Chest up, arch'd back, elbow high, arm and shoulder BEHIND her, racket literally on knife's edge, turn of the wrist, doing everything in her power to increase leverage, and then that awesome wrist flip release. Her eye/hand coordination is excellent.

J'aime beaucoup le positivisme de Patrick M. qui met l'accent sur les choses réussies et rectifie de façon posée mais ferme les choses moins bonnes.

Serena says nothing during the whole session. Can you imagine her intensity. She doesn’t disagree with anything. Just input input input.

[@iscreamcandytv9642]

When I say she is just an awesome athlete Tennis is so depressing without her no one. I mean that one player on tour has that intensity that this woman possesses I mean every game I’m just literally like in awe even her practice sessions are amazing.

Greatest lesson here is how the best ever leaves her ego at the door and willingly receives instruction. Fascinating video.

[@landrixi1987]

Super vidéo. Merci Patrick. As someone who grew up in Cameroon, i was dreaming as a child of becoming a tennis player myself because of the william's sisters example.I really enjoyed this video. Quand j'étais gamin j'aurais adoré une telle session d'entrainement. C'est vraiment dommage que dans ces pays il n y ait pas assez d'infrastructures, et surtout de gens compétents comme toi. A mon avis, il y a (comme moi à une époque) là bas des jeunes gens pleins de talent et d'envie. J'espère que les choses vraiment changer bientôt, et que beaucoup pourront réaliser leurs rêves.

[@got2bjosh]

@@bootyshake5043 Serena needs a 4th RG win for sure (to match Steffi's minimum record of 4 wins). While she's at it, Serena might as well pick up another US Open win to reach 7 for three GS tournaments. Two more GS wins and she firmly takes the leaderboard with 25. She has enough AO and Wimbledon wins. Either way, she needs to get back to her 2012-2015 level of fitness. Otherwise, Serena will remain slower and stall out at the SF round.

Love the come back. Interesting how Serena doesn't scream during practice. I remember someone named Aaron Carpenter (top in Texas back in 2004-06) he was always grunting, always on feeds. I would have loved to been able to watch Serenas matches in its entirety but I couldn't stand the high decibels when she played. Especially when it was a Sharapova vs Serena match. Was always mesmerized by boths dominant plays, athleticism and beauty but couldn't bear to hear the screams of effort they put into each shot.

Technically absolutely normal backhand, forehand and serve. But the quality is very high: she hits powerfully with no mistakes. The difference is in her head: great reflexes, great coordination.

I think the guy in the corner needs help with his overhead technique. :-) Patrick has the best instructional videos on KZbin!!! He makes it so easy to understand why the various elements of swing mechanics are important.

[@nguyen925]

Loved to see Serenas giggle near the end of the video. She didn't seem like she's missed a beat. She definitely still has her weapons, but does she have the drive to win another few times before she finally calls it quits?

[@MyChevySonic]

I'm not a Serena stan by any measure, but guys. It's clay. Once you play and run on clay, you'll know not to go full throttle on it. It can be dangerous. Two, she's probably either already played a mock match or did her fitness training before this coaching session. She's never anywhere near this slow in match play. And finally, from what I saw, she's still got it. I mean, you're free to have an opinion, but I feel like it's a lot less valid if you've never hit the courts.

Mais ils pourraient créer des tournois entres des joueurs entre 35 et 40 ans comme ça ils seront du même niveau ils se régalent à jouer encore et on continuera à les voir jouer et je suis sûr ça sera un grand plaisir pour les spectateurs car il y en aura croiyez moi . a condition quand ils feront les tournois ils doivent être sérieux pas jouer les clowns 🤡

[@MyChevySonic]

Actually, you'd be surprised. This is why coaching isn't allowed in tennis. A few words of encouragement can completely change a player's mood and performance. It's also a lot of reinforcement. Most coaches watch their players and say to themselves, "Come on, you know this." But out loud, they'll just keep using positive reinforcement and teach it like it's the first time, even if they're just reinforcing the desired behavior until it turns from reaction to reflex.

[@imivan05]
