Thank you V!! I noticed my game get better and better since watching your videos. I don't usually focus on footwork much but I think this will definitely give me an edge over the guys I usually hit with :)
Thank you so much venus, can’t be more grateful for your in depth knowledge of the game!! Following the drills have immensely helped me improve the foot strength, footwork, stamina, agility and overall performance thank youu! Also can you make a video on :IN ONGOING GAME, HOW TO VISUALISE STRATEGIC POINTS BEFORE YOU SERVE OR RETURN IT AND HOW TO PRACTICE IT TO MAKE IT MUSCLE MEMORY. I would really appreciate if you get the opportunity to make a video on it someday.
Hey Venus, hang your head up high...you've achieved legendary status & once you get your groove back on the court you'll start winning...hang in there. Go out on your own terms, when you're ready after a big win that no one expects.
She needs therapy so that she can learn to move on from tennis and stop stealing wildcards from younger and more deserving players. Nobody wants to see a geriatric player 15 years past their prime get dragged on center court by a journeywoman like Minen.
This video is so so helpful for someone like me who has just started playing tennis!! Especially since it's advice from such an inspiring tennis player, Thank you Venus!! 💗💗
Wow! It’s my first time learning the right foot back, and left foot back as you hit the ball, to turn defense into offense on deep balls! I just tried them right now at home and wow I feel really balanced 😂. Very excited to try it on the courts 🙂
Honestly the footwork is a very serious topic in terms of playing. I noticed how many balls I would miss if I had the work footwork wrong. Thank you for the video!
"You win with your feet! ”. 👍 Thank you very much for teaching and sharing. I also noticed that when you move, you use balls/front of your feet and not flat feet. I need to work on that too.
Hey, V! Great drills. I can’t wait to try these tomorrow morning. In all my years on the courts, I never grasped the importance of these small steps until you opened my eyes. Thank you so much, Coach!
Great video Venus , the movement is still there and after all this years on court you are showing what your dad and your expectations has giving to you to show the grace on court. Please don’t stop ,looking forward to more video
“ you win with your feet” greatest inspiration to get them moving properly, also why you use tennis balls as obstacles and not cones so that when you cut corners and land on your butt, you learn faster 😉
Thank you Venus. I needed this so bad. 😅😅😅 Also, I got to see you at the CO and was at the match that you beat Kudermetova. First time I’ve seen you play in person. A memory I’ll never forget. ❤
Hi Vee you still beating the top in the game, never doubted. Praying you stay healthy and keep enjoying what you love doing. Eh bring the serve volley back like you used to so to conserve your energy. Thank you for bringing joy to us ❤😘
I have a question / request about split step especially in approaching the net for volleys. Do you have drills on split step when coming in? If i hit a good shot to the corner i often forget to follow the ball in or if i do i am too late on split step or do not do it all all resulting in missed volleys.
hi there VENUS, really love and enjoy all of your tennis tutorials. they're all very informative. Please post a tennis tutorial on how to serve and volley at the net. Best of Luck at the US Open next week! Much Love! ❤
great video and opportunity to see the coaching from such a legend! interesting to see that in the forehand drill, Venus shows small steps and neutral stance and then say “in a match it would look like this”, and here we see her real muscle memory where she goes with the most efficient big steps to arrive to location and hit forehand with the open stance:) her match muscle memory shows the true drill how it should be done!
I definitely feel the difference whenever I actually move my feet a lot than if I don't. Same with split step. I hadn't realized or heard about that footwork pattern for hitting balls that land deep in the court. Definitely going to practice that! Awesome tip, thanks!
First, I have to say that I have always loved your fighting spirit as a person and tennis player. I have been working on my movement on the court. These were great drills for getting faster feet. Yes, the balls are scary for me, so I will use cones. Great instruction!!!!!
I just wanted to say heading into us open. You're match against kudermetova you were so composed, focused, great defense, and heavy offense. You make this girls rethink there tennis i love it.
At 5:10 is when you realize, “she ain’t just another CZcamsr”… (but an actual pro!!!) 7:55 an absolute bonus 😳 😜😜😜😜 The real deal wow!! Edit: okay, I just finished watching the entire video: it’s an absolute MasterClass !! Especially the drills for “absorbing” deep balls and turning them to offensive shots! It’s raining here in Boca but my kid wants to go and try this one out asap…! 😊😊😊 Thank you!
I have been watching youtube about how to play tennis for 10 years but have never seen a top 1 pro teaching technique like you, it is an honor for us, sincerely thank you. Hope you release a video about volley soon. love you.
You're in terrific shape! Thanks for all the footwork drills. I especially like your "get back, swing, and turn the hips" one, as I find myself swinging up like Rafa except I nearly hit my head every time 😅
I was just working this morning on moving backwards then pushing forward to meet the ball instead of letting it come to me. Footwork is definitely so important. Good luck in the US Open on Monday, V. Hope you win it🎉
Thank you very much for making such a impactful videos. My 9 year old son is aspiring to get into circuit and your videos are helping to learn the right way. If I may request you, can you please do more videos on footwork patterns for both forehand and backhand - for all types of shots. Looking forward for your videos.
Thank you so much for these tutorials! My husband and I just bought our first rackets a few days ago and have been hitting the courts ever since. We’ve been having so much fun, but I’m trying to get to even just a beginner level. Lol. These videos are extremely informing and enlightening.
Hahaha you probably know a thing or two about the game 🙌 in a classic understatement…but what’s special is sharing w us! Going to add these to my pre-hitting warmup to get those feet moving well right away!! And love the defensive move too, too. Thx Vee🎉
Great drills to wake up those feet. Us rec players have notoriously sleepy feet. Get those puppies moving! These drills really help with fitness, which is the first thing that goes for me. Which Wilson racquet are you using these days?
Hey Venus ) you are doing amazing work , it will definitely help in becoming of tennis champion for someone who is far from good coaching classes living in countryside ❤ love from India 🇮🇳
We love Venus. Its a Special thing to get these insights from a true Slam Master. I would love to see you do a *[slice backhand tips]* video . I hope Roger would also put out videos like this. You should call him up and collab 😊🇺🇸🐐🐐🇨🇭
Hi Venus. Thank you for your channel. I like your style and presentation which is very friendly and welcoming. You are a great role model and a perfect ambassador for tennis. You are just amazing. I just subscribed and catching up on your videos. I coach Youth League Tennis in N. California and will be sharing your video instructions and drills with 100's of my students. I love that you sometimes use the same Wilson Red Ball we use in class. Do well and best wishes at the 2023 US Open... Coach Dudley
Super useful video 👍 these are the types of video that are hard to find on you tube - lots covering technique of all the shots but very few useful ones on footwork - particularly straight forward drills like these that you can do at home. More of these would be super welcome 😊
How can this woman inspire anyone? Venus literally killed a man with her reckless and drunk driving and got away with it because she is a privileged celebrity. The world we live in…

Whenever I have a question about tennis it seems Venus already knows! Two days later she releases a video with the answer. 🥰
Love that!
Wow! It’s my first time learning the right foot back, and left foot back as you hit the ball, to turn defense into offense on deep balls! I just tried them right now at home and wow I feel really balanced 😂. Very excited to try it on the courts 🙂
looking good Venus!!! Love it...best of luck in New York...you are so inspiring
thank you so much
All the best for US open Venus. May you give your best 😊

Great video Venus , the movement is still there and after all this years on court you are showing what your dad and your expectations has giving to you to show the grace on court. Please don’t stop ,looking forward to more video
They say great players aren't great teachers. You are probably the only exception! Can't wait to try it out on the court! Thanks Venus!

You got this!
Good luck at the US Open. Rooting for you!!
Thank you!!

Thanks this helps a lot
Great video Venus! I especially liked you teaching both the Richard William’s method & the “other” way to handle tough balls. Keep the videos coming.
Hi Vee you still beating the top in the game, never doubted. Praying you stay healthy and keep enjoying what you love doing.
Eh bring the serve volley back like you used to so to conserve your energy.
Thank you for bringing joy to us ❤😘
Best of luck at the US Open Venus ❤

Great lessons by a great champ
Thank you Venus Williams compliment video brilliant.
Glad you liked it!
Much appreciated I must say 😂Tennis Technicals with the credits: "Richard Williams style.. or my style same thing." Important and big lil stuff.
How is it going for you out at Ash?
Thank you, very useful champ !
Oh boy , I wish I could take lessons like this in the 70 's . I would be a much better player today 😁
I can’t wait to try these!! Thank you very much!
Very helpful video, thank you Venus you inspire my daughter.
How can this woman inspire anyone? Venus literally killed a man with her reckless and drunk driving and got away with it because she is a privileged celebrity.
The world we live in…
Useful drill I am asking my daughter to practice the footwork drills
That was fun and useful to watch, thank you! . Such a great video! Thanks so much, Venus .
Great video Venus, I think this was one of my questions!
The footwork drills are almost like dancing!
Thank you!❤
So helpful! Looking forward to trying these out next time I hit the court.
Thank you
Seems like your method of turning your hips both at the same time will give you more momentum and more power.
Great info. 👏👏👏
Thanks for this. The way you teach is just so simple and easy to understand.
Glad it was helpful!
