Beginner Tennis Wall Lesson | Forehand, Backhand & Volleys

In this beginner tennis lesson, I teach my student Anna how to play against the tennis wall. We worked on forehands, backhands, and volleys. It turns out that the wall is a suitable partner even at the beginner level.

What a great student. She listens and makes adjustments immediately.

My first tennis opponent was the wall. I had received no lessons then. I went to a coach and he told me to practice with the wall for 2 sessions and then come back for lessons. I had only seen one tennis match in my life and that was a McEnroe-Lendle final. That was all I knew about tennis. So I invented my footwork and strokes. The strokes I improvised really sucked, and I knew it after I received the first lesson, but somehow I managed to understand the importance of footwork in those private experiments. Footwork became my obsession and the best of part of my game. I can clearly remember I reached the conclusion I really need to move my feet to play this game. But your student's experiment demonstrates something else, she is much focused on the shot and she forgets to move. Different people, different experiences.
Maybe my experiment means nothing to scientists, but I thought I can share it here.

3 lessons probably qualify her as a beginner still but she seems quite talented, coachable and very relaxed with great attitude

Love the series with Ana, Nick! These videos have really helped me get started as a beginner. Cheers!

[omarsultanov]

Your student Anna is evidently a super gifted talent for tennis. I know a lot of guys playing more then 30 years and playing amateur tournaments even yet they can't do the wall as this. Wow!!! 👍💪👋🙂

Intuitive Tennis is one of these tennis channels, that really HELPS and gives practical advice for each level of players. Plus Nik is not afraid to show the truth on court... No fake lessons, no „learn tennis in 2 minutes“ nonsense... I give probs and respect to this guy!! #tupacoftennis 😂😍

That's a great set up with multiple walls; haven't even got one wall to practise on at the club where I play! Anna is a natural, very impressive.

[markurbancowboy]

For a beginner she does an excellent job.👍

[danhdang]

she improved very quickly. amazing progress for 3 lessons. nice work!

[loverroger]

So talented that she might have been a world class if started playing tennis since younger age.

Thank you Nik. This has to be the best wall training fundamentals video. Now I understand why I hit the ball too high, why I can’t maintain steady volleys and why it’s good to practice using dead balls. I’ve took lessons from multiple coaches here in Palo Alto, and no one discussed these basic tips. Thanks again!

[Jon_Dang]

Wow what a tremendous aptitude for tennis she has! But it's also fantastic seeing the fundamentals you taught her put into work so soon. Keeping rhythm with the wall with a full follow through is no small task for a beginner. Great video!

[lucycheng]

Super helpful. Going to try some of these techniques next time. 😊

[Om.Dandale]

As a beginner these videos are confidence booster, thanks for such an realistic training content

[Trumpet]

Anna is just too cute. She's so connected and in tune with herself. She is a wonderful student of life. Don't want to make her self-conscious but I couldn't help but praise her. She must be a good dancer as well, I'm sure. She will be good at anything she takes up and she really can follow it through with good work. Beautiful solid coaching, coach! I really like watching your content and lessons.

I've just taken my 4th lesson and my instructor is telling me all the same things you are telling and showing your student in these videos. They are SUPER helpful for me to see, as in my mind my swing looks like a pro, but in reality I am in the same place as Anna! Keep them coming!!!

[kiko]

One of the best tennis coaches on the internet. Every single video is super useful. Where do you teach?

[sfbusinessfinancing]

Great instructional videos like always. Seen a couple of these beginner lessons. It's a good idea to go back to the basics sometimes for a "refresher" course. Helps fine tune technique. And I am one of those who loves hitting on a practice wall. Overall workout is awesome. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

[charlesfrances]

WOW! I have played tennis all my life and she is incredibly good for a beginner!!!

[KRN]

Volley lesson was great. Reminds me of the Federer video
