the fact that we get to see not just the break down of each serve, but how he explains it as the student tries to implement it. is HUGE. thats the key to this virtual tennis coaching, is hearing the stuff in-between serves. not just telling you how to do it the right way, but hearing how the coach helps as a student tries to do it. massively helpful

This, imo, is THE BEST LESSON ON THE SERVE on YouTube, end of story. Thank you, coach, for explaining the import of the angle of the racket at the point of contact.

I’ve only watched two or three videos of Shamir and Nicola so far, but I love the dynamic between the two guys. It couldn’t be better even if it was scripted: one tall, one short; one a master one, one a student; one reserved, the other super eager. It’s great. And on top of that, we get the great tennis lessons.

19:59 "Alright, so the most common mistake I see on the racket tap is..." 😂

This guy is the best coach I see in youtube. He deserves a million subs.

That guy was overjoyed. He learned the kick and slice in one lesson and learn to distinguish what he needs to do to accomplish them. He's like a little kid on Christmas who just got suprised with two new toys. But he knows they're gifts that will keep on giving. Part of the enjoyment of sports.

Your student has such a great attitude in learning. I’ve seen many video of him and I wish I half that personality and humbleness at a much younger age

[MrMSS]

Perfectly addressing common serve problems that many players/coaches don't even consider!

[anneg]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this lesson! It’s like I’m out on the court with you. The interaction with your students is so KEY because they ask questions that I would during a lesson. Thank you for being so comprehensive and taking the time to work with your student, stopping them when they are getting off track, and carefully demonstrating and explaining concepts. Thank you, thank you!

As a coach of 20+ years myself, it is obvious you are a fantastic coach. 👍👍

Shamir is a super cool dude and a great student. Some brilliant teaching there Nik. Honestly I haven't seen anyone with your approach, in teaching serves. Amazing!

BONUS Racquet-tap masterclass a the end!!

[hellohello-yiyr]

I wish I could find a coach like you in my area. I've taken lessons from 3 different coaches in the past 6 months and I can feel how all of them are just tryna get the hour done :(

[boarini]

I woke up this morning to go practice my serves and this popped up in the recommendations. FANTASTIC tips!

[ivanivanovski]

I love the part with the forward momentum, you are a great coach, as a coach myself I learned a lot from you.

[chetanreddy]

It's so useful to watch you work with advanced rec players. Most of the youtube tennis instruction is not aimed at that demographic. Thanks for sharing!

[notoriouslycody]

Thank you for explaining racquet taps in this video! This is one area that drives me crazy when finishing matches, whether I won or lost... JUST HIT THE STRINGS!!!!

[kugelblitz]

Easily the best coaching channel on YouTube. Fantastic explanations.

[julianmirano]

Great video. Really helpful to see a player at same skill level make same mistakes. Love the slow motion when he achieved success.

[johnsrc]

This is great since most videos I see are either a beginner video or an advanced showcase of the serve. This is the goldilocks of all service instruction videos! Thank you!
