It’s because the start and end of the videos isn’t filled with 5 minutes of marketing jibberish or ric macci patting his dog endlessly

she look so soft and gentle during the greetings...when she starts hitting...WOW! incredible!

Monster talent!! Patrick is smarter than ever....

Her strokes are really clean especially her "modern" forehand.

What's a modern forehand?

This girl is ridiculously good.

you are awesome Mr Patrick-thanks for your kindness and sincerity 💜

I am not a tennis player but I love tennis so much! Patrick your coaching lessons are inspirational to try to play

This tip is EXTREMELY important.

i think she has a lot of natural talent

Now that is one excellent way to teach a visual student. He wanted her to keep her upper body stable, by telling her not to move her head. Even though she did that in the end, he got the result he wanted in fewer words than ‘keep your upper body stable’ which is both confusing and too much to think when playing for a visual person. By giving a vision oriented cue, he immediately got results.

Love your videos. You are the best Patrick!!!

I kept watching every session of you. Great coach. I'm from the philippines.

really enjoyed this one

Fantastic succinct coaching

Well done. Very important notion. Federer’s strengh (among others). Continues c’est toujours aussi top

Absolutely chuffed Patrick.

thanks much Patrick and what a player!

Thank you very much.

I enjoy the positive coaching. I teach badminton to young children and love the professionalism of your group. Ah, "eye-hand" coordination is only possible if the eyes stay on the target! It appears that developmentally, our eyes follow an object in motion and so we have to inhibit the eye tracking on impact. Also, developmentally, we have to inhibit our first instinct to reach for the object where it was or where we expect it to be. All the top racket players see and hit where the ball is at that contact instant. Th video-feedback is a great teaching tool!

Federer has the best eye-ball contact and still head motion of all the players. He is also so consistent even when under stress. He head doesn't move after hitting the ball and he only rotates his head when the ball is about 1/2 way toward to the other side of the net.

It was funny reading your comment now, just as I was watching a re-run on TV of the Wimbledon 09 final vs Roddick. Roger's eyes and head are still at the contact point as the ball crosses the net every time, except perhaps when he plays a slow slice:)

Some know how to strike a ball. Good fine tuning by Monsieur Patrick.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and subtlety Patrick. Any follow up tricks on watching the ball - while you are under pressure - say deep ball with a good opponent at the net? Thanks!

I'm no expert but I always feel the forehand is key, particularly the number of them we hit every game, that shoulder and elbow needs work cos the form looks like its and injury waiting to happen

Good to see her listening... Not Overhitting and learning throughout... Good coaches need good students...

Wow she moves very well

Keeping the head at contact. So difficult but essential for hitting properly.

So easy to do in practice, and so difficult to do when under pressure in a match or clinic. This is my bugbear. The urge to look immediately at your opponent is natural and sometimes irresistible. It's literally what we're adapted to do! When I do what Patrick says, I can hit any spot and as hard as I want; when I don't, the ball sails. The only way to fix it is repetition--create a new habit--which I suppose explains why the pros hit easy balls for hours.

@@hillwellford9637 it's a difficult mindset but requires practice like anything else that's difficult and by practice, I don't mean on ball feeds when it doesn't matter. One has to play matches doing that, not caring about the outcome. Just trust that if struck that way, the ball will have more of everything, spin, speed and accuracy. The results are almost instantaneous and the resulting trust will become a habit. Sharing from personal experience!

Unbelievable, that she is only 12, very tall 🙂 From the athletics and ball-acceleration she is already like a 16-17-teenager ...

So easy to explain and understand, so hard to fulfil

Wow future WTA to watch out for.

Whoaa she plays really nice great forehand punch..

Excellent mandarin speaking!😊

Future wta star for sure

Nice

Absolutely great rallies for their age

Merci Patrick pour tous ces conseils. Dommage qu’elle n’a pas fait plus de revers…

That is more than with for sure

wow she has the talent

This tip about not moving the head too much reminds me of golf.

You speak Chinese? Wah...wow! nice job Pat!

c'est la meilleur petite que je vois sur cette chaine

the reason we turn out head is to generate more power and especially happens when tired

Thanks!

I am going to try this next time cuz my forehand is not stable at all.

Joyce G from Canada🎉❤

She will be another Canadian super star 💯🤟✊💪👏

the closed forehand stance may end up being a problem because it is hard to execute in a match

JOYCE G.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

She makes me feel bad cos she's SOO GOOD

👍👍👍

What a hitter! Are you sure she is 12? My daughter is 12!

As always, love your content. I'm always learning :). I do find it difficult for players to separate their heads from their shoulders. Do you use any exercises off the court to help develop this separation so that the head can stay while the shoulders are turning?

go Joyce 😘

you can do it, just do it

I think this is a legitimate future star. By Star I mean, at some point get to the higher levels of woman tennis competing for slams. She’s only gonna get bigger stronger and faster . For her to have that much pop and zip and she’s still so green. I’m no expert but I would bet she’ll be good handful of years from now.

AND for adult players too!

One of the hardest mistake and habit to correct in tennis

Does her old coach never told her this?

she is definitely NOT keeping her head steady after hitting...she ALWAYS turns her all body and head to look at where the ball is going... He should stress to her "look I do not care where the ball lands, and you should not too, just keep your head still and show me the position of you head after you hit".

SHES TWELVE?!?! Her forehand is amazing. so fluid and beautiful. If reincarnation exists I truly hope I will find tennis at an early age so I can make a proper go at it lol

Asian are really good in tennis

Greetings in Chinese are cute :)

She needs to work on her shoulder/core rotation during set up. Because she's not turning enough, when she rotates into contact, she's actually rotating away from contact. This results in her rotating away from her shot, and consequently pulling her head away from the contact point.

To be hoest every good coach will keep coaching these details. I do this and more as tennis coach/strategist, sports psychologuist, PT & NLP master. I don't thinks Patrick gives the real valuable coaching (which cost £......) as he does with top players, which will be his signature style (like every good coach has and rekon it's own value). I don't, unless I get paid because when you put time and money and passion in it ... something has to be repay, majority of people do not really appreciate free stuff, they get excited for s bit and momentum drops due to lack of focus or interests or no structure/organise /selg dicipline in life. Performance is about hard work, discipline, mental and emorional self understanding, physical and psychologicsl training to keep onbe self up into progression.

None of the best players in history applied this tip...Laver, connors, Borg , McEnroe, Lendl, Agassi, Sampras, Nadal, Djokovic ...except Federer. So, that's HIS special thing. Only average club players try to mimic the "goat" (same thing with the one handed backhand non-hitting arm extension...a lot of players do it in a totally artificial way.

Nadal actually does do it, as clearly seen from a Google Image search of “Nadal forehand”. He just doesn’t hold the gaze after contact as long as Federer. But yes, as you noted the key with every tip is to integrate it naturally and not artificially.

@augustoudshoorn7816

Жыл бұрын

Nadal and Federer do it mainly due to them being cross eye dominant. Djokovic is right eye right hand dominant and therefore doesnt need to do it as much since his dominant eye is on the same side as his hitting hand. Allowing for more rotation prior to hitting the ball. Thats why he seems to be gazing forward on his forehand. I think Medvedev is also cross eye dominant explaining his funky looking wrap around forehand. He needs to hit the ball away from ‘under his eyes’.

There is no way she is 12 years old

If she's 12, I am 342456 yrs old....:\

She doesn't understand.

Why is this a problem?

Balance. It is easier to stay balanced with your head not moving. Vision. You see the ball more clearly when you keep your head still. Energy transfer. The energy goes up from the ground, reaches your hips and core and slingshots out from your arm. Moving the head messes up the energy flow.

Also, if you turn your head too early, you're probably gonna be turning the whole torso, and this will make your spatial coordinates much more uncertain, resulting in lots of unforced errors.

Still not like Federer :))) - this guy is keeping his head like frozen on the ball contact...
