This is sooo satisfying to watch!
I’ll be posting plenty more for everyone 😅
Hey man, some quick tips from an ex-college/futures player. Key words for you are INTENSITY and LOOSEN UP that arm.
I’ve trained everywhere, at top academies to world renown coaches, around the world. At this level, the most important thing to do is to improve your intensity. You see these fancy academies do all these fancy patterns, foot work drills, mental conditioning, physical therapy, training equipment on court, etc. I can tell you with 100% certainty that that’s not what got roger/Rafa to where they are. The difference between these top players is intensity. The “fancy cones” that they use during drill is to increase intensity, that’s it. Go hard until you throw up on the court.
When I trained with the Spaniards, one of whom trained with Nadal and was the top NCAA player, all we did was simple drop feeds as he yelled “harder, more spin, more hand,” until I threw up. And then he made me jog 3 miles up a hill. That’s how it works. Simple as that. When I trained at JTCC, we had them fancy cones out. But the only purpose they served was to keep us focused. We were given 3 balls. We were to hit the cones 5 times before we could rest. We also had to run to get the balls in between rallies.
Enjoy brother. Don’t worry so much about technique or doing fancy drills. Go and grind crosscourt, hit with more and more spin/pace as you get more tired. That’s it. This chapter doesn’t last forever. Best of luck.
Thank you for the thoughtful reply man! I appreciate it. I will definitely take of your advice on board
Im no pro but i could tell his form was abit stiff. That would prevent generating more power and spin.
I played at JTCC from about 2007-2019 as an adult member. What a junior development program.
Yeah Bruh , I agree als all the dancing in between is gonna take so much out of you after 3 hours or so of heavy hitting . The guy at the other end doesn’t need to do it he’s conserving energy . Nice player though good luck to you
Chill af dope to watch when you’re hi👌🏽
Good old platform serve style. Love it bro. Amazing form. Can’t wait to watch you play this season.
Thank you man💪🏽
Man oh man, I am in love with your mechanics. The spin and drive you generate on the forehand is beautiful. I love how you keep your shoulders square on the backhand side and the leg drive you put into your kinetic chain is masterful. I am 25 and I am teaching teens during the summer (hopefully with COVID I can again this summer because I think I have more fun than them LOL). They all try to emulate the Rafa's, RF, and Novak. I see so much of Novak's backhand in yours and that is a good thing because he has incredible mechanics on that side.
But what I really like about you is, your honesty. Being real with yourself in your other videos about how you admit to your level dipping when you weren't playing. That is honesty and being real with yourself in front of a camera. That is not easy for a man to admit to themselves and then on top you admit it on camera. The commitment and drive you put in looks to be paying off my friend. You have a fan in me! All the best and stay healthy.
Nice intensity and nice hitting. It would be fun to see some practice sets highlights if you’re planning on doing them in the future
Yeah deffo man a lot of match play coming up in my next few videos💪🏽
I have net-clearance-envy! I'll be working on that this summer for sure.
Bro, can you do a video in which you tell some tactics for the matches and also some mental tricks to keep concentrated during all the match. Thanks
I recommodate the book Winning Ugly for that. It is a must read for tennis players
Lasse M yes I love this book! Helped me a lot when I was playing tournaments
@@lassem1125 Yeah I have read winning ugly and its an awesome book
The hitting is so clean🤤
The video is great! The views of the tennis complex are amazing. Loved it💪🏼
Awesome backhand !!! love it.
Love that backhand
Thanks dude!
Agreed. So smooth.
Lovely backhand
Very good stuff
All the years i have played tennis I have found that nothing gets u better than playing sets i went from a 3.0 player to a 5.0 player in 5 years
I definitely agree man
Awesome tennis video again. Keep it up! I can’t wait for upcoming college tennis year 💪💪 Senior Year, here I come ! 🎾🎾🔥
Thank you! Good luck with you senior year season !!🎾❤️
High quality practice, hope to play like you in future.
God I miss tennis I haven’t played in months
Really enjoyed watching so perfect 👌play!! 😀
Excellent!
That lightning tho 👌👌
Serve is phenomenal. Wasn’t expecting that.
Thank you 😌and those were just my warm ups😉haha kidding but it is one of my strengths I would sah
*say
I hope i can develop my forehand and backhand like yours
schizo schizo ahh thank you💪🏽with hours and hours of practice you definitely can!
Do you still talk to Simon? Where do you think your level is compared to when you were training with him. Love your backhand, keep up the good work and glad to see you are enjoying tennis again. After I played college tennis I did take a couple years break. I play 4.5 doubles three times a week now (hooked again) as it is socially fun and good exercise. All the best and stay safe as I know college life is hard to keep social distancing. Be interested in how your college handles classes and sports in the new covid life.
Yeah man I definitely still talk to Simon from time to time just so we can catch up! I think I have improved a lot in the last year but more so mentally than anything. And that’s awesome man! Keep it up. I’ll keep all of you guys updated about college life and Covid!
Good stuff bro, can't wait to see you play next year (covid permitting ofc).
Thank you man! I hope Covid doesn’t get in the way hahah
your strokes are hella clean
Thank you 🙌🏼
Great hit for the boyssss 🔥
Cheers boy 🔥
Best video ever
But just small
And i just gave you one of these 👍
Nice!! Keep up the good work!💪
Thank you bro
Hey buddy, really great stuff. Would you be up for doing a collab? Would love to have you feature in one of my tennis drill vids.. you have some great strokes. I’m sure you’ve played at Paddington sports club before?
your forehand looks very similar to hyun chung's forehand
Clean & crispy. What ball do you prefer hitting? Keep the videos coming
Thank you! What do you mean by ball? Like the actually make or what my favourite shot is?
The Tennis Dream Yeah, I meant the brand/name of the balls. Might as well ask your favorite shot too?
You are soo good! It's hard to believe didn't play for a while😂 What's your UTR?
Right now my UTR is 11 but I’m hoping to get it back up to a 12 again soon when matches resume
Good technique smooth groundstrokes and calm. Top level a think. When will some tournaments start?
Hopefully in September and me and my team are excited 😅
@@thetennisdream812 long way to go. I think you should start playing futures or even challenger events. Don't know how it works with college though but i am impressed
Your footwork is amazing 😉
Thank you
Why u no like my comment?
Charlotte!!!!!!
What tension do you normally string your racket at?
56lbs. I did a video explaining why in my string set up video
Great video! You have a nice wide stance and balance always! Any tips on how I can improve mine? Any progression tips or exercises I can practice to get into the habit of it? I noticed when I’m striking the ball, my feet are usually too close together and I don’t feel balanced.
Cheers mate!
Thank you man! I would say try and consciously think about widening your stance whilst playing. Also, medicine ball training really helps! Grab a medicine ball and shadow a few forehands and backhands and focus on setting your feet with an open stance. It will feel weird at first but you’ll grow accustomed to it
The Tennis Dream thanks for taking the time to answer, I’ll give that a go!
Great video. Hitting very well. Do u miss training with Simon?
Thank you! Yes, I do actually. Hopefully I will get to train with him when I am back in England
yessir
You guys are strong and fit
What forehand grip do u use
Nice hitting dude
Thank you!
I'm curious: how many times do you re-string your racquets every week (all your racquets combined)? Thanks and keep up the great work!
Idk a lot 🤣🤣
🔥🔥
At which age did u start tennis
?????
I was 7
What ASICS are those?
What size grip do you use?? I have a Pure Aero in 4 1/2 and it's just too big.. Gonna get a new one and 4 3/8 fits my hand like a glove, but I'm hearing that baseliners should go a bit smaller. Do you agree with this or go with the one that fits the best?
I would say go for something with fits the best
Must have been embarrassing to show up to the courts on the day of the video only to realize you forgot your shirts at home.
Good banter
Hi, what tennis camera do you use? I’ve been looking for a good quality one to use.

Around 1 and a half hours

What grip do you use for your forehand?
