Sign of a really great teacher. Patrick observed the students original serve and picked up right away that he wasn't pronating enough. Instead of labeling the problem or describing what was wrong he immediately proceeded to offer a solution starting with a baseball throw and then progressing. Relaxed, encouraging, non critical approach. Fantastic teacher!
I've been emphasizing that for years now finally coaches are catching on. I use to have them throw the ball into the service box from the baseline if the could then stick a racket in their hand. If a kid had decent throwing motion I literally fixed his serve in a day. They thought a miracle happened. I made them understand the racket is a substitute for their throwing hand. It came to them after a couple buckets. European just learning tennis you have to work on their throwing motion more cause they grow up kicking a ball. I made a Russian guy throw the ball over and over against the fence cause he was serving with an arm without an elbow bend and it started setting in.
Similar to Svit, I had the dipping elbow problem for a long time. Amazing that Patrick offered the solution of using more wrist. You can see the problem disappearing from Svit's serve immediately. And props to Svit for being so talented to have picked up any instruction so quickly.
I have to give it to Patrick, he knows exactly where to apply effort to effect improved change in his students' skills level. I remember trying to explain how to use the wrist to accelerate this quick oscillation action, similar to what happens at the tip of a whip - Patrick brings this to life here - very keen analytic eyes and mind - a great coach.
I think this is the best one in your channel I’ve ever watched. It really feels like I’m the kid here that gets taught by you. Thank you for this video.
@@sulaymanmuhammad2129 Save your pennies? but to be honest any good coach could tell you the same thing. Having a session with him only serves as a name dropping conversation piece. If he hadn't worked with Serena, no one would know who he was. You don't need someone who coaches pro players to improve your game.
Excellent coaching including different types of senses including feeling and hearing the sound. Step by step from far and close postion to get a sense for the right distance. Wish I get a chance to train with you one day in Nizza..
there are so many advantages to this technique and this drill that I can't name them all. I will bet most students don't even realize how much consistency they will gain via a simpler motion before contact, and how much it will help them to HIT THEIR SPOTS and hit them WHEN TIRED.
The coaching here is amazing. He would keep providing different sensation drills until something worked for the player and clicked. For example during the slicing - you could tell the player was hitting the ball too flat instead of really “cutting” the side of the ball so instead of just giving the player a visual of brushing the side of the ball, Patrick provided and audio cue of what hitting the ball should sound like and then the player recreated that and his slice instantly started to improve. At no point did Patrick say “no, not like that” and instead always kept positively enforcing what the player was doing right and adding bits of information to see what would work for the player - really cool!
I sat courtside watching Svit play Mark Ceban in the final of junior Wimbledon this year; he lost but needless to say he's a fantastic young player and he was serving comfortably over 100mph despite being nowhere near fully developed physically (especially compared to Ceban!). Looking forward to watching his progress in the coming years.
I wish i could spend 2 months, 2 hours a day with this coaching I would not became a great player but really much better than now. Patrick why don't you create a sort of spomsorship for old people with great passion and willing to improve??
Very good demonstration of power in the serve from the forearm snap. And Patrick has a very powerful action himself. For a junior, learning the sense of racket speed is the beginning of the engraining in his mind. It is important to note that this method creates the shortest amount of time that the ball stays in the racket. Essentially the serve is completed at impact, giving very little margin of error. Feliciano Lopez was an amazing practitioner of this style, primarily because his talent for this shot was extreme. John Newcomb, on the other hand, kept the ball on his racket much longer and created much more weight on the ball. Should this boy grow to over 6'4", this "slap" method might work. Good luck when the slap goes off. Also, these tosses, from both of them, are way off to the right, limiting the range of options. This method also has no bearing on the second serve, the real measure of a great serve. Some players can have such disparity between the first and second. Sampras, basically, had two second serves, a much better way to go for players who want consistency and are not hugely tall. In some ways, this snap method with instant release of the ball is a parlor trick.
I do like all your videos. They help me (57) a lot! Thanks for that! 😊 I wonder how fast your serve might be!? Surety above 180km/h? I started playing tennis in my early fourties’ . I now reach most of the time around 140 km/h. Only once I hit 158 km/h. I wonder at my age if I still can improve!?
Every coach will tell you this. All the progressions in this video were to emphasize pronation, which is literally impossible without a continental grip
@@justulistories5509 i am learning full conti grip but I probably an at bevel 2.5 to 3....very fast serve Im 6 foot 2 but I am trying to learn the awkward continental grip! wish me luck!!
@@soofitnsexy you probably use an Eastern FH grip which isn't that bad compared if you are using Western semi Western that makes it impossible. Anyways the way you can get to the continental is gradually turn your racket little bit at a time and hit your 100 serves a day or more every day for 2 weeks or month gradually getting to the continental without noticing it. You'll be amazed how better it is and your ability to learn the 3 basic serves flat slice and kick will be open to you.
Sooo I Patrick I taught myself a western grip for 3 years and because its not working out Im swapping to semi-western like a normal human - Any tips for the transition?
John 3:16-18 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
For those of you who don't speak French... When coach almost dumped the basket he says the French equivalent of "shit"... Maybe the junior player understood it maybe he didn't but to leave it in the video where french-speaking Juniors can see it is very unprofessional... Imagine if Bolletieri or Macci did that...not that this clown is in their level at all...good at self promotion though
Don't understand how standing in front of the net and hitting down hard helps. You serve from the baseline. On the baseline, you cannot hit down like that!

Tragic that he only bandaided it. Never realizing the actual source.

He is so good at positive reinforcment for the sake of the development of confidence in the student while in the learning process.
SMART

I have never experienced and listened to a coach like Patrick! Just brilliant, simple and on point! Can't stop liste to his videos and tips!
Thank you very much Patrick, your lessons are priceless!!!
You are the best coach Patrick. May I call you Patrick
Really wish I could afford such coaching man. Great lessons
how much sre his lessons?
Me too. Great coach.

@@capricornmagic63 So, what you are saying is...all you need is a good coach? Thanks for the advise.
It’s all free online
2:11 - Unbelievable shot!)))
Watching your serve tips have helped my serve a lot...especially on slice!
Excellent coaching including different types of senses including feeling and hearing the sound. Step by step from far and close postion to get a sense for the right distance.
Wish I get a chance to train with you one day in Nizza..
Holgar rune looked taller to me..
🤣
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is a Kid. Not Rune
He is mini rune 😂LOL
Great coach and great lessons! Thank you very much!
Your videos have changed my life
Merci Patrick, ta façon d'enseigner est super et je la considère très précieuse, aucuns comparable sur le net, rien ne s'en raproche.
Patrick is best coach! - Thank you.
Such an easy style of coaching! 👍🏻
Joli match ! On sent le potentiel de ton adversaire ! Bravo 2 vous 2.
0:26 good catch
Thanks Patrick...really helps me understand serves
Patrick you are a fantastic teacher 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Excellent! Thanks for sharing...
I really enjoyed this video!

Supreme! Thank you
This time, he's actually helpful and communicated to us what he was saying
I hope you're being sarcastic.
Nice lesson!
Awesome lesson

Really interesting approach and I have a feeling it might help a lop of people with their serve. Thanks for posting you sessions!
Awesome video! So much to absorb! Bravo!! 🎾🎾🎾💪🏻
Grande patrik
Effing Unbelieveable 🙏🙏
I wish i could spend 2 months, 2 hours a day with this coaching
I would not became a great player but really much better than now.
Patrick why don't you create a sort of spomsorship for old people with great passion and willing to improve??
Love your idea. I'm in!!
amazing
If he can have more weight transfer forward he will get even more power. His feet land in the same spot because he is only jump straight up
Very cool video for improving the flat and slice serve ! Could we have a similar content with kick serve ?
Congrats on the 100k subscribers!
I know right...

Very good
Great lesson. Would have been interesting to see readings from a radar gun to see how much speed he picked up from your tips
Gracias
btw Patrick, on the slice serve you also pronate
Svit is a good player.
Good job
This player already has very good basics on his serve otherwise it wouldn’t work so only add this to a serve that is already technically sound
Feel that T line serve is improved 👍, slice serve not so much
Por lo menos no se aburre !!
What does aim for the T mean?
Can someone pro explain to me 0:44 doing that, is it trains the kid to learn to use the power of triceps to serve instead your power of shoulder?
무척 도움이 됩니다. 감사합니다.
Coach looked dashing while sitting in support box in Wimbledon semi match

yes, of course
you are mastaaaa!!!
"Oh putaing" 😂😂😂
How can you do that with a kick serve?
I was going to say that
Very useful video. Are you a coach that says a continental grip on the serve is essential?
Every coach will tell you this. All the progressions in this video were to emphasize pronation, which is literally impossible without a continental grip
i have a strong serve and I cannot do full cont. grip!!!
@@soofitnsexy what do you mean with strong? Of course you can hit hard with little pronation using your body and arm. Or are you using backhand grip?
@@justulistories5509 i am learning full conti grip but I probably an at bevel 2.5 to 3....very fast serve Im 6 foot 2 but I am trying to learn the awkward continental grip! wish me luck!!

Please come to Kenya Nairobi in Kenyatta University to train my kids
Not in Kenyatta University. In Nairobi Club
Tennis racket = badminton racket = baseball bat = golf club = hockey stick = same principle
hell no
yessss
Sooo I Patrick I taught myself a western grip for 3 years and because its not working out Im swapping to semi-western like a normal human - Any tips for the transition?
i wish I could...semi western feels sooo extreme for me
@@soofitnsexy What are u using? Eastern? for me that feels like I'm going to slice forehand almost XD
@@xawee7254 i play like fed. eastern yes maybe alittle past but western and semi western feels REALLY WEIRD!!!!
I broke my racquet serving with loose wrist...
somehow, a service is like a "smash controlled"
If you watch at x0.50 speed you can see very well the movement.
And as a bonus, Moratoglou sounds totally drunk 😂😂😂😂
Use sum spin .😊
2:10 lol
2:15 min 😂
now I see why Stefanos doesnt serve enough aces
Tutto chiaro, ma con una traduzione in italiano sarebbe il massimo.
è francese, onestamente è già tanto se fa i video in inglese per farli capire a tutti
This kid looks like he’s 13 and is an 11 utr
i feel poor
All arm and no legs and no comment from coach??? Just because you say something with conviction it doesn't mean it's true
Maybe you should teach Simona how to serve better...
Looks like he actually made his serve worse lol
put this skinny boy into the muscle machines!
Kid steps over baseline a lot...
I know
John 3:16-18 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
