Thank you, I know quite a lot of pros are in a similar situation with the money side of things. Struggling to compete, so I thought I’d show what it’s like just trying to even make it to the tournaments and some creative ways to sustainably play on the tour. Don’t get me wrong I’m still in a really fortunate position being able to pursue something I love 💪
Hey! Really wish the best for you mate! I used to train as a teen at Raynes park David loyds, I'm now playing D1 tennis at Princeton! Lots of love my man, ignore the no-lifes here in the comment section hating your success.
Thank you Anthony 🙏 I hope you and Teca are well, I had such a good time with you both in Penarth, one of my favourite tournaments I’ve been too ❤️💪 hopefully see you both soon
living in a london, this video has made me realise how fortunate i’m to be living here. definitely going to take advantage of all facilities london has to offer
It makes me realise how lucky I am here in Gijón in the north of Spain. Really good indoor courts with lights at 6.10€ an hour, outdoor clay courts 2.70€. City council facilities but really well maintained. Can't afford the 3000 euro entry fee it would cost to join the big tennis club here, but having one to one private lessons for 20€ an hour with a really decent coach. Needless to say, my level is much much lower than Sean (4.5 NTRP), but it keeps me in good shape for an amateur league and to hopefully enter a few federated tournaments this year.
Love your channel, just subscribed and wish you all the best for your tennis journey! I'm curious as to how many calories you burn in a typical day like with so much time on court and in the gym?
Thank you 🙏 really appreciate it, I normally burn about 2/3 thousand calories per day so I eat quite a lot. I’ll do a full video on this next week 👍 Is there any other content you’d like to see?
Thank you 🙏 i still watch quite a few, tennis brothers is always entertaining, karu sell is class and check out Cameron price, he’s recently started a UA-cam and has some interesting content too. Hope that helps 👍
Great video Sean Am wondering When you're doing a hit with client.. how to contro/adjust you're stroke(FH and BH) pace so it wont be too hard for them?
Great video. You play a bit like Lajovic. Tennis is such unforgiving sport and its great to see all aspects of it even before you get to competition. You ever thought about moving diagonally fwd into you're volleys rather than just fwd? - Or has this footwork been superseded in the pro game? Edberg was the best volleyer of all time and his footwork on the volley would be diagonally fwd. It builds in a natural shoulder turn and as a result the racket takeback can be far more compact and less 'just arm'. Be interesting to hear what you think. keep up the good work.
Thank you 🙏 my goal with the channel is to show what the reality is for a lot of tennis players on the lower end of professional tennis. Yeah definitely agree with that on the volley, I’ve been working a lot on the volley at the moment trying to do those things.
Great video mate :). Best of luck I live near Raynes Park, good standard player ITF 18 ranking. If you're short of hitting partners and want a cheap local hit... give me a shout :). Love to train drills like you do here
@@seanplaystenis Great channel showing your journey into pro tennis which I am sure will help junior players make the right decisions. I am struggling to find high level players at my club, I will definitely check out DL Raynes Park
Really interesting video Sean. Personal question but intrigued, is your main income from your clients/hitting partners? Do they pay you to just hit with them?
Thank you 🙏 at the minute yes my main income is through doing paid hitting sessions and odd bits of coaching. I work with a company called Aceify in London who find clients to hit with a pro, which is paid hitting sessions with a professional tennis player
have you thought playing doubles A good friend of mine Neal Skupski has been successful 3 wimbledon titles . Coming from Liverpool that is a miracle and I hope the LTA will help you All the best with sponsors London is the place Forget up North Smart move by you
Hey Sean - really interesting video. I'm a HCPC regulated MSK Physiotherapist so if you need any guidance on injury + general body management let me know.
@@chrischan3448 as a pro athlete I’m fortunate to have a complimentary membership. As I play for a David Lloyd clubs team. But I know it’s expensive, but the alternative to paying membership would be £20/£30 per hour for indoor courts elsewhere and gym membership on top
Won't be that much - more like £200 per month given that he's based in Yorkshire. If anything, it works out ALOT cheaper given that it includes gym, sauna, pool + indoor/outdoor tennis courts etc, and he can travel around the UK and use their various clubs without having to pay extra. Makes alot more sense than hiring individual courts each time.
@@chrischan3448 Nothing wrong with David Lloyd. If anything it makes alot more sense and saves money due to the range of faciilties it offers, particularly indoor courts during the UK winter, and being able to use the different clubs across the UK.
Sean have you thought about accepting donations to help you complete mate? You could have a go fund me page and bitcoin address for followers to help you on your journey ect.. keep it up 😎
Thank you 🙏 yes I’ve had crowd funders before and they’ve been really successful, I’m thinking to start another. I also set up a Patreon recently and I’m just figuring out how that works. I’m always open to ideas for sponsorship
You've been floating around ATP 1300-1500 for years without progressing. At 25 y/o, with your current lifestyle, the chances of you making top 250 are between 0 and none.
@@JAM-fm8lt Don't think its anything to do with level - the Tennis Brothers videos are interesting to watch as there's alot of match play and effort gone into the video editing etc. This seems pretty dull in comparison...
This is really interesting. As a tennis nerd I'm fascinated by this. Cant wait to follow your journey. Good luck!

Hey, thank you 🙏 great facility Raynes Park 📈 I know Damien who used to go to Princeton. All the best on your journey 💪
Loved the tennis footage, gym and diet routines
Great to see you're fit and active. Hope all's well and look forward to seeing you at a grand slam soon. Best wishes Anthony & Teca - Penarth
Thank you Anthony 🙏 I hope you and Teca are well, I had such a good time with you both in Penarth, one of my favourite tournaments I’ve been too ❤️💪 hopefully see you both soon

Keep going with your UA-cam channel, will help you make some money in case this tennis thing dont work out. Good luck
Thank you 🙏 hopefully it will help to support my journey, but I can also give back to the tennis community and share what I’ve learnt/learning 👍
Great video! Your work rate is insane, keep it up!!
Thank you 🙏 I’ll do my best 💪 more videos on the way
My warmup involes turning the heaters up in my car on the way to the court 😅
YESS, better be a series cuz content like this is what all players are looking to watch
I have a few more weeks of training and working then I’m back on the road to start competing again 💪 the series will continue
@@seanplaystenis yesssssirrr 💪 cannot wait
Your persistence and determination are admirable.
Good Luck and I hope that you will make it.

Thank you 🙏 i still watch quite a few, tennis brothers is always entertaining, karu sell is class and check out Cameron price, he’s recently started a UA-cam and has some interesting content too.
Hope that helps 👍
Winners only tennis!
Great video Sean
Am wondering
When you're doing a hit with client.. how to contro/adjust you're stroke(FH and BH) pace so it wont be too hard for them?
Thank you 🙏 I’ve been doing it quite a while so when I get a client I often know what pace to hit. Doesn’t take long to find the right pace
Let's gooooo mate !
@@federicotown8052 thank you mate appreciate it 🙏
A string break in Nigeria cost the equivalent of £2.40
This video is excellent
Thank you 🙏
@@seanplaystenis I watched this again

Hit with tennis brothers Felix hopefully? Good luck
I would love to play with you in London
keep going nice video btw
Thank you 🙏
Great video mate :). Best of luck
I live near Raynes Park, good standard player ITF 18 ranking. If you're short of hitting partners and want a cheap local hit... give me a shout :). Love to train drills like you do here
Thank you mate 🙏 great to know, when I’m back in London I’d be happy to go through a session with you 💪
black cab? Thought your on a budget?
@@musicvidztv1909 my client treated me, normally I get the bus, tube or walk, cabs or Ubers are pretty out of my price range
That client looks pretty pro too!
He’s awesome, hits a great ball and is always adding to his game. A lot of my clients play really well
Cool !
I’m a member at DL Royal Berkshire which is near Raynes Park, definitely worth the money when you factor in the winter months 😅
If you’re making use of all the facilities and considering the amount of good players there it’s definitely worth it
@@seanplaystenis Great channel showing your journey into pro tennis which I am sure will help junior players make the right decisions.
I am struggling to find high level players at my club, I will definitely check out DL Raynes Park
Really interesting video Sean. Personal question but intrigued, is your main income from your clients/hitting partners? Do they pay you to just hit with them?
Thank you 🙏 at the minute yes my main income is through doing paid hitting sessions and odd bits of coaching. I work with a company called Aceify in London who find clients to hit with a pro, which is paid hitting sessions with a professional tennis player
Very good and interesting 👍. A question about psychology, do you use a psychologist to improve performance?

have you thought playing doubles A good friend of mine Neal Skupski has been successful 3 wimbledon titles . Coming from Liverpool that is a miracle and I hope the LTA will help you All the best with sponsors London is the place Forget up North Smart move by you

Go hod 💪🏼
Just curious… how much do you charge a session?
I work for a company called Aciefy in London I can send you the link if you’d like to check it out?
Match against Felix pls!
I can only dream 💭
At least inspiring brother
from the bed that you sleep ...to the ''human'' food from super market and all day long on road with transportation!!
Hey Sean - really interesting video. I'm a HCPC regulated MSK Physiotherapist so if you need any guidance on injury + general body management let me know.

@@vwmusicplaylist1935yeah, seems like you’re doing a lot with your life hating on multiple of his videos
@@sol_v1s10n5 Just stating the facts and keeping it real.
Boring and unoriginal. Looks like a copycat video of Tennis Brothers but theirs is 1000 times better.
May be but his level is lot higher.
