High Intensity Kids Tennis Lesson | Fast Feet, Split Step & Topspin

Very good. Give me the best backhand and scream loud. Yes. Wow. That was very neat. One. That's better. Go. I want to point something very, very important. The moment she moved back there, she stayed low, she heads down, and she jumped. That's a high quality. We want to be in balance. We don't want to jump and be straight up. Good job. Go. Racket back. Go. Now you deserve it. I try to emphasize the consistent split step, finish point, and the quick recovery. This little girl, because she's special, she figured out on her own a lot of stuff. Start with the forehand. Only what you remember. Let's try to make it even better. Go zero. What you do right now, this is the tip of the racket. What you do now, the tip is going down and stays. I don't want to go like this. Here. Stay. Stop there. The tip of the racket is always above the wrist. It doesn't drop like this. Not too close to racket down either. We don't want that. Go. One. Yes. Stay. Stay. Stay. Stay. Go. Step. Nice. So easy. One. Yes. Very good. Good. Go. Nice. By yourself now. Balance. Balance. Show me high split step. Yes. Good. High. Good. Go. Nice. Behind the blue line. Over. Go. Nice. Jump. Go. Give me the ready position more in front. More here. Bend the elbows. Bend the elbows. Yes. Comfortable. Okay. Hold like this. Bounce. Bounce. Bounce. Bounce. You're going to come towards me. Towards this line. Okay. Bounce. Bounce. Bounce. Jump. No. Higher. Jump. Low. The racket. And then move. Yep. Good. Good. Up. Very good Lizzy. Go. Turn. Bravo. Up. Turn. Very good. Up. Two more Lizzy. Go. Up. Nice. One more. Go. Go get water. Now we do backhand. Okay. I don't move your legs. Focus on your racket to be straight back. Okay. Got it? Bounce. Go. Great ready position. Wow. Alex take note. Not like that. Like that. Yeah. Go. I like the swing. Good job. Again. Can you go slightly slower? Slower. Go. Again. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.

Keep going. Liz. Slightly lower. Good. Up. Quick. Your back. Your racket. Go. Go. Stay there. You're gonna move to me okay? And I want high intensity. So very quickly to here. Give me the best concentration you have okay? Ready? Go. Fast. Go back. Back. Back. Very good. Go. Up. Good. Go. Up. Bravo. Go. Up. Go back. Racket. Racket back. Good. Excellent. I like that. I don't care if the ball goes out okay? All I care for you to have fast feet. So that's the importance too. We can ask to have high intensity but cannot be very picky of the technical part because then it's too much. So focus on the high steps. Volume. Quick. Sharp. And then let the arm go. And be free. Let them go. It's okay to go to the back fast because eventually when they're at the baseline they can have a little more space. How about the six balls in a row? I'm not ready. Go back. Good energy. Bounce. Bounce. Bounce. Go. Fast. Good. Back. Go. Up. Very nice. Good. Up. Very good. Stretch your arms back. Stretch back. Straight back. Very very good. Two more. Go. Very good. Keep the pace back and scream loud. Yes. Wow. That was very neat. So that's the next progression. You want slowly to introduce how to be the intensity, how to be correct with the placement, how to be correct with technique and all together it becomes easy. If you ask them to force them to run fast, they don't know what's fast. But it's just steps. Tiny steps. She's fast but she's tiny. She's squeaking her feet. But then she's in balance. She's not overdoing it. So that's very unique for her. Coordination wise that's very very good. We'll do the same thing with the forehand. High intensity. Go. I don't have that many balls so we'll do like maybe four balls per time. Bounce. Bounce. Bounce. Bounce. Bounce. Go. One. Go. Up. Two. Up. Three. Go. Up. Four. Very good. Do you know why? Because when you start moving you didn't do the crossover step to shuffle back. You just keep going right like this. You fell down. It was a very tiny one. Too long. Okay. Try again. Can you play a little more crossword with your forehand? Okay. Bounce. Bounce. Go. One. That's better. Go. I want to point something very very important. The moment she moved back there. She stayed low. She sat down. She jumped. That's a high high quality. We want to be in balance. We don't want to jump and be straight up. At least that was very good. Yeah. Continue doing that. Ready? Go. One. Up. Good. Good job. You're like it. Go. Good job. You're like it. Nice. One more time. Go. That's it. But the bow is not quite crossword. Okay. Make sure you keep finishing up the follow through. Okay. Let's work on that. So today is like short the lesson but very high intensity. Okay. How many minutes? Probably like five more minutes. Keep the right elbow higher when you hit the forehand. Okay. Go. Good. Go up. Very good. Up. Very good. One more time. Up. That was a lot better. Okay. But we can do even better. What is missing? Once she swings the left arm is down. I want her to catch her racket. You want to do that? You catch your racket after the follow through. Got it? Let's do it. Getting better. See? Little by little or side by side I add something else. Something else to make it even better. I cannot expect right away to do it perfectly because then it's too much information. What are you focusing now? Tell me. Catching the racket. With what? With your hand. Which hand? This hand. What's the name? What's the name? Left hand. Left hand. So now she's focused on that. Ready? Go. Nope. You didn't catch your racket. I did. Go. Up. Yes. Yes. Nope. You didn't do it. Go. Catch your racket. Go. With energy. Yes. Come on. Up. Go. Yes. Give me the best one. Go. Very very good. Now I want you to catch it even higher up. Watch me. See the space I have? You're kind of here. Or higher up and more space. Okay? Try. Two more sets of four balls. You have one task. To catch your racket with your left arm just as high as you can. Okay? Go. Good job. Go. Good job. Good job. The best one. Go. Scream. Go again. Go again. Go again. And scream. Up. One more time. Low racket back. Go. I like that. Crazy. I get water. No. One more set. Go back. No. Yes. Go back. On every single ball you're gonna scream. Okay? Loud. You have energy? You do. Okay? Show me the most energy you have on every single shot. Okay? Fast feet. Go. That was great energy. Now we're gonna do two more balls. We're gonna focus a lot. Listen. Listen. Very good high speed step over there. We're gonna see now balls that come off the ground. Okay? Ready. Go back. I give you three balls. Not two. Three balls. Okay? You have one task now. Jump higher with a split step. Both feet off the ground. Go. Up. Good. Boom. I like it. I like it. I like it. Go. Up. No. That was a low jump. Go again. Are you playing cross court down the line? Down the line? Go for it. I'm okay with that. Jump. Go. No. That was too low. Before we start the first ball it's a little bit tricky. So we're gonna try that. We're gonna experiment. You're gonna start with fast feet and then jump. Okay? So we keep the intensity right away. Ready. Fast feet. Fast feet. Fast feet. Fast feet. Faster. Jump. Go. Good. Go back. Jump. Up. Higher jump. Higher jump. Yes. Very good. Good water. You deserve it. Good job. Or do you want more? I can do more. One more. Let's go. One more set. Let's do it. You know why? Because you didn't jump high enough on every single ball. I want on every single ball jump as high as you can. Okay? Only three balls. Okay? Fast feet. Fast feet. Fast feet. Fast feet. Fast feet. Fast feet. Go. Yes. Go back. Go back. Go back. Jump high. Yes. Yes. Jump high. Go again. You did it correctly. Do you catch your racket? No. And you forgot that part. All right? Fast feet. Fast feet. Fast feet. Fast feet. Go. Go. Catch your racket. Good. Jump. Yes. Catch your racket. Yes. Very good. Jump. Go. Catch your racket. That was the best one. Now you deserve it. Hey. High five. Good job. Please. That was very good. We can finish like that. Okay? That was good. See? I pushed you a little bit. I gave you four extra sets until you get it correctly. The intensity now picked up. But I pick certain details as we progress. So I try to emphasize the consistent split step on every single ball. I try to pick now like the finish point and the quick recovery. Before we start off, okay? Focus on like, you know, fast feet. Secondly will be good finish point. The elbow. Catching the racket. The third one will be like, you know, high split step and then push up. So it's like a lot of series you can do. You can do a lot of crossover step. We can do like another first step, the right or the left foot. We can do like the belly button on the side. A lot of details. But this little girl, because it's special, she figured out on her own a lot of stuff. Okay? Since you're too good, pick up all the balls.
