Imagine if that coach had been a jerk and nole hated his first lesson
Just imagine with how many possible future tennis stars this happened
@@matijacvitkovic3735 2?
@SlyRacoon9 Novak admitted in an interview that when he was young tennis was like homework. He was obliged to practice and had zero fun.
I play at night. During the day I have school, practice in the afternoon. I finish my homework after practice and then play at night.'
Tennis for me is a duty.
Thats the words of a 7 years old boy. Let’s that sink in...
Tomic is an example
The trainer seems to be the kindest man. God bless him.
Kamaljeet Singh most likely the grandpa. Just saw it when he said “see you tommorow” so I’m wrong.
What a great coach
unlike my coach lmfao
Yes
You don’t know him,maybe was drunk 🥴
Pay close attention to the coach. He is giving unconditional positive support while still offering minor correction through voice, and ball drop placement. Parents who overcorrect their young children and burden them with extra technical advice guarantee that the child will not love tennis. This coach is clearly skilled in age appropriate coaching . Novak's parents made an excellent early choice.
his coach namw?
name?
Haha I started to play tennis at 23 and my coach was the same. When it comes to tennis I think it's very important to give constant support to your students no matter wha age because it's a sport with a very steep learning curve, you can lose motivation very easily.
are you still playing?
@@nobodyspecial2718 yes, of course :) non-stop for the last 15 years
Trainer said: ,Nole, future champion'! Bravo!
17 grand slams and 100+ million dollars later...
The trainer predicted Novak's future

To have the three greatest tennis players active at the same time is just mind boggling ... Jesus, almost 60 Grand Slams among them ...!!
I almost feel sad for the hordes of other players that never won anything
Imagine coaching a child and he becomes the legend in that sport ... That old coach must be so proud
Looks older there, hope he lived to see Djoker become a pro at least.
his coach name?

In his first session he was already better than what I can do now.
Hard to believe

Ur trash
I've been a tennis coach for many years and I've taught both kids and adults. It's rare to see a 4 yo kid being able to even hit the ball and nole was even clearing the net. That raw talent...
I was just thinking, 4 years old boy listening his coach, being so disciplined and hitting the ball so precisely, you could see he gonna become good tennis player
Scusami amico ,ma tu stai parlando ,del bambino che ha condizionato il Tennis nei 30 a venire tu stai parlando di NOVAK DJOCOVIC !
Hm i'm wondering about your statement. I'm a professional tennis coach for over 20 years now and i had so many kids, the youngest 3,5 years old, i've been teaching and it is not so rare that kids being able to hit the ball like this. Some can do it faster others need a bit longer. It is very individual an with the right practice which includes al lot of coordination exercises and funny drills for example the contact point etc., most of them even can hit the balls over the big net with the correct follow thru.
My youngest student for example with 3,5 already hit the balls over the net in his second lesson.
Last week i had a girl soon turning 5 playing her very first tennis lesson. Couldn' beleave my eyes. After a few instructions which she listened to very carefully she hit the balls over both nets. The kids and the regular net :)
She might be an exception, but i can't share your experience, that it's such a rare case, kids hitting the balls this way right away.
@@Sergio_Gonzales6 Did any of them become a tennis star similar to Novak?
@@goxyeagle8446 That's not the point of the comment.....he's just saying that being able to clear the net at 4 years old is not an indication of tennis career success. It's very easy to see videos of already very successful people and then praise every little thing they did as a child, but reality is not like that. It's heavy successor bias.
"Let him fall in love with it" this gave me goosebumbs. I wish my Parents knew how to motivate a child.
1. You are the owner of your life, now, you can motivate yourself.
2. It's perhaps impossible not to commit mistakes when being a parent. Perhaps OUR responsibility as adults is stop complaining about past and help current new parents to understand history and learn and teach their children in turn so every generation gets better in parenthood.
Haha tennis coach is a job.. he has to always be kind to his customers 😅
@@DavidLopez-gs1fbwell said!
@@user-hl6rm8pu6qtrue, but nobody could foresee if this child could become a champ in the future though. So, let them fall in love with the sport first and then they would work hard to become champions themselves.
They didn't know that they were teaching one of the greatest tennis player of all time and a legend of the game
Maybe they did
Literally never heard of him until he helped spread more virus like a dumb ass
Kougeru then you are no fan of sport, let alone tennis
@@Kougeru lol what??? Sounds like you've been living under a rock

I think this kid will win multiple grandslam in the future.

@@ericaameh6596 Surely you must have seen this "joke" before
what joke! im sorry i only discovered internet yesterday 🥺🥺🥺
Bold guess
Not only did he train him , he even taught him to be a good sport by shaking hands
That's how you train kids. Positive words of encouragement. Bravo Nole, You're a champion etc. That little kid believed what the coach said and see where he's today. One like for the coach pls.
A very good coach who seeds the confidence in him since from the first training .....
his coach name?
@@Ryan-mv2hx Rudolf Čugelj
@@oldschool4721 cool thanks 😀
@@oldschool4721 can't find him anywhere. Did u just made this name up lol?
@@Ryan-mv2hx No. Maybe because he coached only kids you cant find him on the internet. Maybe he is dead by now. He was very old.
1:07 Are we going to ignore he aimed at his dad and hit the camera on point???!!! Amazing!
Exactly!!
haha, I thought only I saw that !
To su ti bre ludi srbi 😄
THAT WAS AWESOME!! :D
Like, little Djokovic kept missing that day, and then the coach had a brilliant idea how to motivate him... "Go hit your dad!".
Boom. He smashed that ball right in his daddy's stupid camera 😂
I swear to god, I bet Novak keeps doing that same thing, that's how he keeps winning all this time! He looks at the precise point where he wants the ball to end, and the little boy in him goes "In your face, dad!" 😂
He looks so much like himself now. The cheeky grin, the facial expressions and overall you could tell it is definitely him, even the haircut 😂😂
Well, maybe because it's him.... (????)
He was and is very elf-like
What are the chances of someone recording a random kid playing tennis and he grows up to become the worlds best . In 1991 aswell.
AH25 that’s a serious training academy. No random chance there.
Record his father
Ohhh..... but still
His parents were recording to show him when he got older
All that money behind him was a help🤔😅
Niko da pohvali trenera koji toliko lepo sa paznjom posvescenoscu i odlicnim pedagoskim ponasanjem uveo Noleta u ovo. Ne znam ko je i da li je sada ziv ali svaka mu cast!
Буквално то сад ја гледам
Neki ljudi su rodjeni da prenose znanje na druge!To ne moze svatko, jednostavno treba biti rodjen za to (strpljenje, volja i ljubav da preneseš znanje drugima). Bravo za trenera, a i za učenika :)
Tako je trener je 50% u pocetku drugih 50% su rad i talent.

This makes me very eemotional.A small kid, now a champion is an inspiration for millions of people. How time passes by, right? Such a kind hearted, sweet and dedicated person Novak is. So so precious. I was having a headache and surprisingly it disappeared after I watched the video. Thank you for uploading and bless you Novak and everyone else who reads this too.
Dabogda i tebi bog dao sve sto ti je potrebno srecu ljubav pa i sve ostalo
It’s sad to think that this kind man has passed on, the man who first introduced Nole to tennis and fostered his love for the sport. He would be very proud to see him today.
Every ball that he hits, he gets a "Bravo Nole" or "Super Nole" or "Champion Nole" or "Great Nole" " or 'Shake my hand Nole" or "that one deserve ice cream or pancake or both".... even though he didn't hit the ball that great. This is the kind of training that makes a champion. If you break down the child when he makes a mistake, he will be mistake conscious and will struggle to progress but when you give great encouragement and small adjustment as he goes, you create a confident tennis player, a winner at heart.. So awesome. I wish I had a coach like this when I was a child...
Apparently he was hitting the ball very well for a four year old, coaches later said they hadn't seen a young talent like this since Monica Seles, another world class Serbian. I believe they were giving him that level of support and being very conscious of him falling in love with the sport because they had faith he could become the next Serbian superstar and they were all correct.
This coach is awesome. Lovely man. He was one (of many) who created a champion and a legend. The coach is awesome.. He was with Novak at such a tender years and he did great!
1:15 for a 4 year old only into his 2nd training session, his shots were stunningly powerful and accurate .
This wonderful coach is Rudolf Čugelj, but we always called him "Uncle"

Extremely important to have a good coach with young kids.... great job coach!
That coach was so encouraging and supportive. I don't think I've ever experienced anything like that... why are my eyes leaking 😔
Oh, bud, I know what u mean
Oh, don't feel bad : (
You can do it. I'm sure about that.
Your not the only mate, I think allot people unfortunately have gone through the same
I know the feels, was going to cry when I had a supportive teacher earlier this year at 23 years old. You just learn to expect punishment sometimes
You can already see how talented he was. Born to play tennis. And the coach is the kindest man... Lovely footage
"Look, a champion"
Awesome.
Oh my God, that two handed backhand is already perfect!
When he said "look at the champion" i really felt that.
That double-handed backhand...he's carried it throughout... will stay for the rest of his life...luvU Nole..my Maannn 🔥
Very interesting how the coach is subconsciously ingraining a technique but at the same time helping him feel the joy of hitting a tennis ball. I played tennis and I had a reasonable ability to hit the tennis ball. However we had to learn with stiff arms and legs, and the swing became mechanical instead of being natural. Fascinating how the coach is grooving technique without removing the natural ball striking and joy of hitting
Palashinken and ice...sooo cuteeee💜
Sad je najbolji teniser svih vremena koji je kročio zemljom,naravno pohvala za ovog odličnog instruktora i trenera
It is so impressive to see how it all began .
Little did he know that he was about to witness the greatest backhand ever.
рођен да буде шампион

@@kkrekt8863 Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro have the best white sports athletes in the world, basically all we did was wage war for 2000 years so you kinda get good in fisical activity.

He can be identified by his cuteness and his hairstyle.
& those wolf eyes too
"NOVAK THE CHAMPION OF THE WORLD"
As a Kid so small and Cute
He practiced hard every day
To become astute
To the common man this was Unknown
He had dreams of a Great Journey Beyond
He heard about the Two "R's" Dominating the Game
He said " Hey I want to do the Same and never feel any Shame!"
As the New Kid on the Block
He Trained so hard his body became Hard as a Rock
He was Ready to give the World The Great big Shock
A Rising Champion on all levels of the Human Condition
The Whole World would soon Realize that he was on a Serious Mission
People Started Remembering his name
Novak Djokovic Became the Pride and Soul of the Serbian Flame
He could not be Defeated Ever in the Big Game
He always looks like he is having so much Fun
That is why he is Number 1
So as a Fan who watched you from aside
Knowing how hard you always Tried
Makes me so Proud to see
The Champion of The World is Finally Free
And is Now Hopefully Looked Upon with Glee
ZIVELI !!!!

What a kind and motivating Trainer !
El más grande deportista que jamás a parido esta tierra. Bravo Nole.
Beautiful as a child, wonderful as a man!!! A marvellous athlete!! God bless him!!!
Nole looks like Stefan👍🎾🇷🇸 lots of love❤️ from the Philippines🇵🇭
What a wonderful coach he is 😃😃
We need to give this marvelous trainer more attention
Little did the coach know, that he had on his hands arguably the greatest player of all time. Amazing 🎾
Hardly arguably
v savage
Federer, Nadal, Novak.
Whats the argument
v savage don’t be silly
Go ahead then give the argument silly pants
Adorable! That explains everything, the kind of champion he has become. Love him then, love him now. A true gentleman.
It don't explain nothing. You the drama queen #2.
What a pleasant and patient Coach... God bless him...
And now Novak is the G.O.A.T of tennis! ❤
Novak always a Champion, but this coach is great!
It really pays off being such a kind trainer to a child
He is so adorable, when his coach asks him to get in position for hitting backhand, it's exactly the same as he hits now or for a long time now. It's unreal how his technique has remained just the same. Surely, his coach deserves a lot of credit too. Without this bh djoker won't have been the most successful player of all time❤️
The coach said when he was 4 years old "BRAVO CHAMPION" ....''Well done champion '''....and he guessed well ... that prediction was spot on...... ... like he knew.....
Great coach he installs confidence and belief..
Probably that coach triggered the fire in Novak? He is so kind, patient and very motivating. Novak has to be grateful to this coach.
Faca mala!❤️Ja mislim da svi iz bivše Juge navijamo za Noleta.
my hero. my inspiration. my everything. i learn so much from djokovic, so much. god bless him.
Our legend, thanks to exist Novak
Now this kid is a 22-time grand slam champion

he really owes it all to his parents, I mean yeah, he stuck with it and choose it as his life path, but you can see his parents determination with equipping him as best they can.
For sure. He has some amazingly supportive parents and even said himself that they are a huge part of his success
His dad did not many parents did supported him and convinced Nole and family that Nole one day will be no1..I watched video the other day when Nole was 14 and his dad was talking..amazing job his dad did!
Trener je za medalju! Toliko pažnje i podrške. Nije čudo da je Nole zavoleo sport i postigao neverovatan uspeh.
Тај мали дечак је постао човек који има толико успеха иза себе да само можеш дубоко да се наклониш и честиташ.
This little Nole was such a sweetheart
He was lucky ! He discovered his talent and doing what he likes in life to earn money. Not many kids are so lucky in life.
Unfortunately, not many kids grow up to be pros at anything.
That's not luck, that's years of doing Wht u love every single day..
@@justdancetm2731 obviously being lucky enough to have an environment to foster and grow that talent.
I wish I knew I loved racing back when I was a kid
Yeah it's proven in quantum physics that fate doesn't exist.
When the most used word by the coach is ”Bravo”, you will have a future champion.
真的是一位難得的好教練，很有耐心，對小孩也用愛的鼓勵，Novak小時後真的很幸運遇到這麼好的啟蒙老師🥰❤️💕
1:51 "BOTH pancakes and ice cream?" Too cute 😂😂😂
He got the encouragement needed. Bravo to the coach as well! 🎾😊
Presladak a trener je dusa od covjeka i odmah je rekao da ce Nole biti Shampion.
It was God's will.
For the trainer, as he seems to be one of the kindest people in the world and for the Novak parents, to chose him.
This is powerful, one of the greatest sportsman game ever had. Nole 👑 simply number🥇
And now he's statistically the greatest tennis player of all time. Legendary transformation.
I still think it's Roger, the same way Schummacher is for F1 and not Hamilton. If the difference in numbers was huge, okay, sure, but it's more important to have an impact on the way the sport is played.
@@TheLMBLucas There’s a huge difference. Tennis is an individual sport. Formula 1 isn’t, because the car is a bigger factor than the driver. Everything you do is dependent on how dominant your car is.
In tennis, it’s simply you Vs the other man. Novak conquered both Nadal and Federer (positive H2H against both). Most majors, most weeks at no.1, most big titles, tripled career slam, most wins over top 10 players, the list goes on. Formula 1 and tennis are fundamentally opposites. It’s not like Hamilton and Schumacher directly “faced each other” head to head, with no external factors.
@@mikemoggerson6651 Oh well, then you know even less about F1 than me 😂 I'm not expert but my family is. And Hamilton was given the best car and won with it. Schummacher changed Ferrari from the inside, he was part of the process. That's pretty much what Roger did to the sport too, a revolution, coming from someone who was not destined for greatness until he changed his mentality as an adult.
@@TheLMBLucas that’s so false on so many levels lmao. I know a lot more about F1 than you, and tennis. Schumacher transforming Ferrari into a successful team has NOTHING to do with Federer being an icon in tennis. Federer being popular hasn’t turned into success. It was the other way around. The difference is (if what you were saying was even remotely true, but remember Schumacher wasn’t the one designing the car) that Schumacher “revolutionizing” Ferrari turned into championships. It’s not even remotely related to what you’re saying in general, which tells me you know absolutely nothing about either sport.
The guy has blown 40-15 match points to Djokovic on THREE separate occasions with the crowd on your side. How can you be the goat while being humiliated so badly by your biggest rivals over and over?
Federer was 10-21 against Nadal and Djokovic in majors. That’s a 30% win rate. He has less majors than both and a losing record to both. In particular, he has less majors, less big titles, less weeks at no.1, no double career slam (Djokovic has triple), has never beaten Nadal at RG, etc etc etc. Federer’s resume is absolutely lacking compared to other two. He is done from the goat race. Even despite being the most “loved,” Fed’s days as goat are gone forever. Stats don’t lie, ESPECIALLY in an individual sport. F1 isn’t an individual sport, and it’s more machine than man.
@@mikemoggerson6651 Ok, buddy, you are clueless when it comes to both sports and it showed when you said "I know more than you" for no reason and then "F1 is more machine than man" and "tennis is individual". Then by reading the rest, I confirmed it. Don't even bother replying back.
Nole is a true champion and a principled man. He is my tennis hero, now.
We are so grateful we got the chance to follow his career right from the beginning. And what a career. 24 GS till now and counting. 390 weeks at No. 1 and counting. Who would have thought when this video was being recorded that this little kid would achieve everything there is to achieve in tennis. He brings so much joy in my life. And the greatest thing about him is that even when he loses, you will never get the feeling that he did not try. He is a player you would love to cheer for. Because he would give you back for all the faith and trust you have in him with his hard work .
well put. his parents always thought he'd make it. God bless thoughtful parents.
That "bravo Nole" evolved him from Nole to Novak!
I love how ausome and motivating the trainer is ❤️💪. I wish all coaches were like that.
Presladak je Nole. Trener se tako lepo ophodi sa cetverogodisnjim detetu. Dali je trener mogao da nasluti da ce to dete da bude najbolji teniser svih vremena koje nista nije moglo zaustaviti nego su drzave smislile "razlog" da mu ne daju da se tekmici.
I wish this was how I was taught to play the piano (started at 4). My teacher unfortunately hit me with a ruler when I played a wrong note and yelled at me and slapped my hand and pulled my ear hard. I hated the piano when I was a kid cuz of the punishments. But as I got older, long after those horrible lessons, I actually learned to love it. I had a terrible introduction to something I was talented in, if I had a teacher like Nole's coach I would have done very well in music as an adult.
I'm sorry you had to endure such brutal abuse. I'll never understand the abuse in the arts, such as piano and ballet.
not all tennis coaches are this patient. some just turn kids away after the first few lessons, and yes, even Nole would get turned away.
I understand. I went through the same stuff as a kid from my parents, I wasn't encouraged, rarely told I was doing good, I was griped at all the time. I really went into a shell, wanted to hide, kept to myself and sadly conditioned like that from a young age, it even follows you as an adult and you have to fight it. Many teachers and parents mess kids up.
The legend was born
Now is the world's best ☝️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Wow... What a coach
I'm loving ❤ how cute 😍 Novak is you can truly see the talent even at a young age.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
