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 :)
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.
"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.
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 🙂
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!
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 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
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!
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 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.
I resisted watching this video a few times in the past because I thought I had seen it all. This was definitely a wonderful lesson to help improve my game. What a great champion and teacher 👏
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!!!!!
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.
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!
I’ve only been watching your videos to learn how to play tennis. Over the past few months I practiced by myself against a wall. I was at a court and a person who was really good at tennis asked me to play and he was so impressed that I never had a coach or ever played professionally. Thank you. Please keep making great content and sharing your experiences.
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!
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 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.
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?
“ 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 😉
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.
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.
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 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. ❤
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 🇮🇳
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🎉
At 5:10 is when you realize, “she ain’t just another UA-camr”… (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!
Like your pop's method of stepping back and hitting FH on deep ball because it might trigger stepping into the shot more but the other one probably good when you don't have time on a really fast shot at you.
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🎉
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 😊
Great drills Thank you! Since you are known as great server, please can you share the most important serve drills (for 1st and as well as for the 2nd serve)? ❤
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…
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 :)
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!

Whenever I have a question about tennis it seems Venus already knows! Two days later she releases a video with the answer. 🥰
Love that!
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 don't have to, but you gave your time for others to improve. Well done and thank you ❤
❤❤❤
I resisted watching this video a few times in the past because I thought I had seen it all.
This was definitely a wonderful lesson to help improve my game. What a great champion and teacher 👏
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.
Love these videos! ❤
Good luck and enjoy your US Open, Queen Vee 👑

it is very nice of Venus to make videos on UA-cam to teach us who to improve in tennis 🎾:)
This is awesome! Thank you and please keep them coming!

Thank you so very helpful. At 76. It is kind of hard to get your feet moving but I know I need to do that.
Venus is adorable! And the lessons rock.
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 😅

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.
I'd love to see a video of a gym/ weight workout you should do to help improve your tennis game.
Best of luck at the US Open Venus ❤
Awesome video as usual. Thanks. Cheers from Sweden.
Thank you. This is probably the best lesson on footwork I've ever watched on YT. We are so thankful to get tennis lessons from a Professional.
Thank you, Venus! I love this video. What your dad said is so true “you win with your feet” ❤
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?
That was fun and useful to watch, thank you! 😊
Leg work! Its all about it!!!
Your outfits keep getting better, absolutely gorgeous!

Oh boy , I wish I could take lessons like this in the 70 's . I would be a much better player today 😁
Thank you, Venus, for the great footwork tips.
Seems like your method of turning your hips both at the same time will give you more momentum and more power.
thank you Venus
Thank you Venus. Very helpful 👍

Buenos tips de perfilamiento para poder atacar mejor la pelota,gracias
Thanks a lot for this really useful video!
My knees have split in 7 places from watching 😂 time for me to get active. This is inspiring 🙌🏽
You got this!
Like your pop's method of stepping back and hitting FH on deep ball because it might trigger stepping into the shot more but the other one probably good when you don't have time on a really fast shot at you.
Excellent tips, thank you 👍
Great video Venus, I think this was one of my questions!
The footwork drills are almost like dancing!
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🎉
You got this!
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 😊
So helpful! Looking forward to trying these out next time I hit the court.
Lovely! Perfect! Super! Useful! First class! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Great lessons by a great champ
Superb insights Venus, thanks - your videos are the best I’ve seen since the Agassi series.❤
Wow, thank you!
This is so helpful. Thanks for sharing !!!
Useful drill I am asking my daughter to practice the footwork drills
Oh wow, that defensive step-back pattern is interesting. Always had issues with this situation. Thank you!
Amazing video, love this drills. Thank you Venus!!
Great drills
Thank you!
Since you are known as great server, please can you share the most important serve drills (for 1st and as well as for the 2nd serve)? ❤

Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Venus Williams compliment video brilliant.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you!❤
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…
Thank you
