More videos with Emma please

[@IntuitiveTennis]

We will post more 🙌

[@anitaru2001]

What a great lesson form coach Nick! Thanks!

[@jungl3ist]

These drills with emma are tottaly diffrent level and intensity, opposed to shamirs. 10/10💪

[@melfox215]

That's true. But I think Nik is right to show students with different levels. Ema is the former pro athlete. Shamir is the gifted, but lazy recreational 4.5 guy. There was this female beginner student (beautiful black woman) plus the other female beginner player. And there is the very gifted female latina player. Only two type of players are missing: a teenager or child between 10 and 14 learning the fundamentals and an ambitious mid ager (30 to 45) who is 3.5 to 4.0 trying to compete for 4.5 which is probably the majority of viewers here.

Nick, I've been searching for this forever. I feel like the algorithm sent you my search signals. Thank you, brother!

🙏🙌🔥

[@michaelobell7032]

More great coaching!!! Keep let your students on their toes more intensity. Thanks again.

[@liamharrison2885]

[@NickNeras]

More Shamir please 🤣 like to see how’s doing with new heavy racquet

[@farid1406]

The paddle-strung racket 😆

[@bmanbusee3812]

Good tip Nic. Need to remind myself of holding on to the throat instead of just releasing it immediately

[@noops30]

Excellent

[@kugelblitz2001]

Coaches have told me to step in with the right foot on a backhand volley and the left foot on a forehand (I'm right handed). However I notice Emma is standing quite open. Any thoughts on this, Nik?

[@shawnogg8208]

In short it is situational dependent. You strive for right foot and for learning it is absolutely correct. If you get a slow ball you need to accelerate your racquet is fixed and the weight transfer accelerates your volley, not the arm movement or at least that is the order of your priorities for a good volley. With stepping in right you can transfer weight and better than more open, but the incoming angle and speed determines what is possible in each situation. Even Nick on his relaxed coaching volley does it with small weight transfers you develop over time.

can You test artengo rackets? Tr 990 pro, Tr 930 spin pro and Tr 960 control tour 18*20

[@IntuitiveTennis]

I might

[@cyberjonesy]

Sorry to be "that guy" again but Ema's movement is not very explosive. Easy feeds will work on the striking mechanics but in a match she will have to get to those balls and strike them while being close to out of breath. Fitness is something that builds up faster than technique so I would put emphasis on kicking her ass a bit more during practice. Less talking, more hustle !

[@just_eric]

Your right, I've seen other pro players training and they look very intensive, for what she wants to achieve, she needs to improve their fitness shape.

[@brucewang2616]

Just wonder if possible to have some classes with you? Could I have a call with you to discuss details? Thank you so much

[@spiderman-ej5hr]

Oh my goodness, she plays extremely similar to Caroline Wozniaki! Just a bit less agile and lightfooted on the footwork, maybe something to practice on?

[@milanvincic9668]

First! Not meaning that I have nothing to do on Saturday afternoon🤣
Let's go Balkan people. Idemooo🤗
Enjoyed it very much. Thank you Nick and Ema😊

[@1114gabby]

I think the one hand volley is preferable.

[@garychin4138]

Ema needs to close the backhand racquet angle and practice hitting flatter volleys.

[@oktayadiguzel2382]

Is she a professional player?
