[@rsmith02]

She's no beginner anymore. I'm also impressed with her stamina and will to keep going.

[@devonr7497]

Thats what happens when you got a pro coach!

[@rucas10]

Ana finds it very easy, both on the right and on the left, to direct the balls. She has a natural aptitude for tennis.

[@12GaugePadawan]

Anna has improved so much! 😮 I’m glad to see the super graceful dance moves still there too! 🤩

[@91civicVT]

So impressed with this girls progress!

[@victorious1177]

It's crazy how much she has improved. Pretty awesome.

[@harvindersinghuppal2162]

Genius Nik and outstanding commitment from Anna. Great for a mass audience as this is the biggest group (3.0 level) of recreational players and trying to make this transition is very tough and here is where the coach is absolutely key. Many miss this stuff out and just want to fast forward to trying to play like pro's.... plus tennis players tend to be selfish and just want to play with better players and not giveback by nurturing less developed. I do give back (but maybe that's because i'm not that good a player) and it's great to see the development ... infact i pretty much end up losing when we play after a while ...maybe as my mindset is not in the mode to outright win.... which may be a reason why players don't like playing with lower levels.

[@Apstenusrazbega]

Anna doesn't give up to the difficulties that tennis brings her. Overcomes it with grace even when super tired. Молодец, Аня, просто умница!

[@yakzivz1104]

Anna is getting better and better.

[@PaulLefford]

Been watching you for ages, this is one of the best videos I've seen. Nice to see Anna working hard and very funny "luxury life" comment at the very end.

[@photobearcmh]

Anna has really improved. Good work you two.

[@anouarboukehili8186]

Anna is a great for demonstrations as modern days learner

[@slowBeat]

whoa. Anna is getting so much better! She’s making a jump in skills now. It’s so cool to watch.

[@ahsirwong]

wow, anna is such a quick learner! And Her backhand is GREAT ~

[@adeljoseph7237]

Wow Anna, am really impressed, congratulations to both you and the great coach Nik 🌹

[@MJTIbes]

Another superb vid with great fundamentals. Ball recognition, racket up aside in attack position and currently the hardest part to teach my son is spacing out. He just keeps running into the ball when attacking short balls. Yelling my guts out :) Thanks for your efforts in showin the best teaching methods

[@DonYang73]

I am sure everyone agreed when Anna said that she will have to play in her bikini. 15:31 Good improvement from the first video till now, well done.

[@albertojavierquintanarosse5149]

Anna has improved a lot!! Love the way you teach, Nik!

[@ibf2010]

Great video, thank you. I think what this shows is the need to work on ball recognition, and response - early coil whilst moving the legs, and keeping the correct distance from the bounce point.

[@ReidVV]

Not that I have any room to critique anyone else's tennis game or progress toward improvement, but Anna has really come a long way to becoming a better player. Good for you Anna and Nic.

[@julienriegel8246]

Wow!! So much progress!!

[@Jon_Dang]

Amazed at her progress!! Incredible consistency for how long she's played!

[@adrian_83am]

Anna has improved a lot!!!! Great job for both

[@Vallonism]

oh my look at that backhand. so fluid!

[@javy2204]

Thanks for these videos, teaching Ana . I’m beginner myself and your explanations make sense to me.

[@saarimr4476]

Wow, it's crazy how much better she's gotten

[@dcicivizzo]

Nice, I have the same problem... gonna try to do that... and by the way... your videos with Anna... are the best!

[@terrim183]

Thank you so much for all the great videos, they really are helping me a lot in my tennis fundamentals. Your explanations are so clear and easy to follow. Add in a lot of practice and I’m getting so much better! 😊 It’s making me love the game so much!!! Keep doing what your doing!

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Glad to hear that Terri. I will keep going ✌️

[@wtr7]

Had the same thought - You put Perrier water on your head. Funny. Anna was hitting with good strokes. Excellent coaching.

[@WalkerKlondyke]

That backhand is impressive!

[@knotwilg3596]

It's not unusual for a highly coachable person like Anna to struggle with unpredictability. She takes a premeditated approach, which leads to good technique but poorer spatial judgment. Players who take a more sensory approach will react better to the conditions, but be slower in the adoption of proper technique. BTW - it's also interesting to see how the ground strokes, treated as to be taken for granted, are indeed taken for granted. So good8

[@xabirocks6913]

That's a great note, @knotwilg - I find myself vacillating between the two types. When I focus on my form, I lose my spatial ability and vice versa. Tennis is hard! But I'm working on it. Anna is doing fantastic job. Amazing ramp in learning.

[@toddwhitbread6523]

Watching her play the best tennis ive seen ever at the beginning. Opening line ‘ heres the problem Anna’

[@cjbfire95]

Thanks Anna for the question of when to approach the net, thanks coach for describing when to back peddle and when to come to the net.

[@golllaur]

wow! very good hitting from Anna! and great that you leaved the funny parts in the video :) looks so fresh and natural!

[@K4R3N]

Perfect back-pedaling

[@TagUrIt2000]

It’s always great to see Anna continuing on her tennis journey. When will you introduce her to split stepping?

[@DiegoRodriguez-je2ok]

wow what good progress

[@cesarfernandezlopez5063]

She loves it 😂, Thank you guys ❤️

[@Javi_C]

Big difference from the first lesson! 👍

[@msedmocsu]

Get it Anna! I learn a lot from watching her👀🎾🎾🎾

[@LVLVLVLVLVLV]

Anna was so exhausted that she acted like a little girl begging her coach to give her a break. So adorable!

[@ReidVV]

Very well taught lesson. Very well explained. Good progression. A lesson for other tennis coaches.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Thank you James

[@K4R3N]

Good tips here Nik. I will use them for my kids. Please next we need BH approach lesson like this with Anna.

[@1hunnidstudios330]

Wow, her forehand has a loop now! Amazing progress

[@LVLVLVLVLVLV]

‘You put sparkling water on your head. This is what I call luxury life’ 😂 So sarcastic🤣

[@K4R3N]

Haha, Pellegrino. Anna is GOAT 🐐🏆

[@phrainphrainjugotoagleam595]

Dude, he's Croation! Of course that seems like a luxury ;)))

[@slumartins]

Hi Nik!! Great to see Anna’s improvement. I also feel very tired when practicing with a ball machine. I think it is because I tend to hold my breath when I’m hitting. Any tips on breathing techniques during a rally? Cheers from Canada!!

[@endasthenrik516]

Really like his coaching style! Does anyone have a suggestion on how to maintain what you learned in practice and bring it to next next match? I keep going back to my old way of hitting and it is super frustrating. Is it just a matter of doing more practice or is there something I can actively do?

[@X_D_X_D]

Anna 😍

[@ThazualsInfotainment]

I wonder how long Anna has been trained. 2 years? I am asking because of the way how she keeps her left hand during shot preparation. She found it difficult to follow the instructions, jsut like me. NOI. 😀

[@tennisone6376]

she start on this channel last year not sure what month but im not sure she play regular

[@ThazualsInfotainment]

@@tennisone6376 Ok. I think she does not play regular.

[@Lunchpgap]

@@ThazualsInfotainment not sure what you mean by regular. she's been on the channel a little over a year. that's basically when she learned how to play. she's said she plays 2-3 times a week. she's improved impressively in one year.

[@phrainphrainjugotoagleam595]

"Ah"nna is a very good sport, even with her name!

[@Alexandrajerm]

Молодец, Анна!

[@manoflatiger]

Thank you

[@DamianSheesh]

She's improved so much! But I can't help but think she seems to swing - mostly on the FH side, in slow motion. The fundamentals and mechanics are there, but she isn't 'swinging', she's just moving her arm through the correct path.

[@24tomorrow]

Surprisingly, her bh looks better than fh. She's still holding the racket as the frying pan, the movement is so weird with no wrist lag and proper follow-through, you could see at a glance that she's not feeling it, she's simply trying to mechanically repeat what Nick told her

[@vsaminat]

She is getting good consistent on her forehand. Now it's time to dial up the power

[@royvandijk7119]

Did Anna participate in any ranked matches yet? I'm curious :)

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Not yet

[@kimdavid6865]

Anna play next generation forehand

[@johnames6430]

she does great moving around the court, just need to practice more to make it look smooth

[@kugelblitz2001]

I feel like a split step would do so much for her footwork / positioning.

[@IamnotJohnFord]

One thing I don't think she is doing that would help move on those short balls and really any ball. I don't see much in the way of a split step. That would really help her movement. She's a little flat on her feet between shots.

[@hoanglinhofficial8017]

stop and hit to stayblize ->nice

[@krissalv8583]

We will see Anna on team Russia soon

[@rupeshpatwa_Music]

Can you guide how many hours of tennis practice required for 10 year old girl player

[@ampecsu]

Is Anna's "forcing" of her follow through, ending position, hurting her strokes?? I suspect so. EVERY shot ends the same. Definitely not optimal for EVERY shot. But Im no pro.

[@Jon_Dang]

Getting a beginner to follow through on every shot--that's a coach's dream. Consistent follow through? Even better

[@JonahNelson7]

Not every shot, but she'll learn those other shots that would end differently later. You want following through to be the absolute default because it helps with power, energy conservation, and spin, and then you learn other shots

[@bhnaparalela]

Sparkling water 🤣🤣🤣

[@weniswrinkle1]

Anna is a baddie

[@sebastianfernandezmascagni556]

Fax

[@kostisv]

i think she's flat footed that's why shes late. If she learns the split step she will go to the short ball earlier.

[@Bboykidcombo]

I dont know why, but my one hand back swing is perfect even though iv never practiced it before is that normal? And can u do a video hitting balls that bounce high? Thank you 👑🎾👑👌

[@noturbo]

Goanna

[@XxCrazZyNo0oBxX]

I love watching her progress but in all honesty.. I don't know if it's just because I live in Europe or not but a NTRP of 3.0 is like an ITN of 7.. And she would never be near that if you let her play against Itn 7 players in terms of footwork, technique and game sense. Also after 2 years of her playing I don't think she made that big of a jump (no hate) like many say 🤭 Either the level here in europe is just better or she isn't a 3.0 Again if someone think's this is a personal attack (it's not!). Just an observation and my own opinion.

[@ANYADISCO]

She only played for one year

[@ANYADISCO]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6LKlKyheax1aKM

[@thomasmedeiros5722]

She has been on this channel for about a year and I believe she was just starting. Exactly where did you come up with the 3.0 rating? When did Nick or anyone actually say anything about her rating? I think you are the person who is making that assessment which I think is not correct. I directed tennis programs for my local USTA community tennis association so I have some experience with levels of players. I would place her at the 2.0-2.5 and actually see how she does in match play which is different than hitting with a coach.

[@Lunchpgap]

i did not notice the 3.0 in the title until now. definitely not 3.0. i would say 2.0.

[@Alexandrajerm]

@@sergiosimbula i think Anna would still be a 9, because even if you play really well but haven't played/won any matches (for ranking) you are automatically a 9, right?

[@andressaenz704]

Very good video. I love final scene with the water 💦 very sexy

shorten the backswing and she needs ladders for her footwork

[@jnid1758]

just a constructive criticism. a handful o ypur videos are tooooo looong and gets tiresome to watch and finish. better to edit more and make more concise and straightforward

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Always looking to make vids as short as possible. It’s a work in progress

[@JonahNelson7]

@@IntuitiveTennis I think the length is good for a coaching video like this because you see all her shots, we hear all your feedback, and we see how she improved. You clearly just cut out the fat of picking up balls and whatnot, everything else is worthwhile and useful
