Guys overhead smash the like button on this video for my student Robert going strong at 69 yo. 🤩🤩

This guy reminds me of a 68 year old client I had 4 years ago when I was teaching tennis. He actually wanted to improve and worked really hard over the course of the summer. It's rare for older clients to actually be willing to change things to get better. Awesome to see!

I love this and wish there was more content specifically for the 55+ Athletes. I'm 63 and dedicated to ongoing improvement in all areas of my life. Tennis happens to be a big part of my life so it gets a lot of attention..😁 My goal is to be the best I can be at this sport. So I train on and off the court. The competition at Men's 55+ tournaments is tough. Many of the people I play in tournaments have tennis resume's way beyond my experiences. But I bring my best . Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose. But as stated my goal is to simply bring my best. Tennis is truly a Sport for a lifetime.🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾

Awesome content Nick. I ADORED your hint about the back foot coming along during the follow through. You also justified it very wisely!

[marcorenato]

Would love to see you coach him for the high one handed backhand. He seems to have a modified eastern grip like I do and he hits lovely flat shots when the ball is waist high. Would be great to hear what he struggles with and how you would advise him

Really enjoying the Robert training videos, thanks Nik. Such an engaged student, keen to improve. An inspiration to us all.

Excellent single backhand! Very athletic 69yr old. ✌️👍👍👏🏻👏🏻

I can barely tell sometimes that you even speak German because of how amazing your English is.

[gooruspeed]

Robert and you Nick are doing an amazing job, congrats both!

Mir war nicht bewusst wie gut dein Deutsch ist Niki. Sollte ich jemals nach Florida kommen werd ich bei dir eine Einheit buchen :)

Hi Nik, schön euch beide deutsch sprechen zu hören 😀 Ohne Kohlensäure, I like it. I am now 58 and I hope I will play as good as he does when I am 69. Good to see how I can improve my backhand, I will go on court today and practice on my one handed backhand, Greetings from Berlin, Ralf

Nice, i wish your channel reach 200k subs by the end of the year!

Great lesson! It's really cool how Robert has learned to shuffle over to his position for the 1HBH. I don't know if you taught him this or not, but apparently this idea was something new for even some pros for the 1HBH in the 90s/early 2000s. Jeff Salzenstein credits RF for "teaching" him this technique.

[junglist]

At 69 Robert has excellent health and physical condition, and on top of that he s learning German. Hats off, he s the og of the channel from now on for me.

Great video and I can relate because I’ve been working on my one handed backhand as well. You really explained well the coil because I was overdoing it as well. Nick you really know your stuff!

This gives me hope for the future. So great seeing older players on the grind just like us young guys. I never let my guard down when player doubles against older more experienced players. Their movement may be limited but I have been humbled many times by expertly placed lobs, dropshots and winners!

[yakzivz]

he has a beautiful 1hbh!!!! He has an excellent setup and he did great.

[n.nurkic]

Eindrucksvoll Robert mach weiter so. Nick das VIdeo ist wieder super geworden. Many useful tips :)

[MalteLewandowski]

Du sprichst ja perfekt Deutsch, das war eine Überraschung. Hast du früher mal hier gelebt? I have a training partner who is 63 and its always very close matches. Very good to be and stay that fit with age :)

[faros]

Great instruction and great student. Good work by both.
