FROM BEGINNER TO ??? - My 3 Year Tennis Journey / Progression / Improvement [2019-2022]

beast

I have played tennis for 17 years, coached for 6 years. This is an unbelievable 3 year transition, keep it up! My advice you you, is to start drilling that forehand and never underestimate how footwork can help too control you’re game.

l love how you play with so much freedom. It reminds me about how tennis can be used as a device for freedom and self-expression rather than it being winning and losing and feeling happy or sad as a result of it. As a competitive tennis player myself, l used to always play with fear and honestly l still do in important points which, really detracted my love for the sport over the years. However, l find it inspiring that you are able to smash the ball as hard as possible without much care of missing it. It's great to see.

Keep going Nathan!! 💪💪

Yo! I can tell you're destined for the 5.0+ level, and that's a level not many people reach. You've set up a great foundation: You've got a great habit of exaggerating your split step, taking the return early with your weight moving forward, good game sense, know when to hit a rally ball and when to finish it, good control at the net, and most of all -- passion! Subscribed to follow your progress.

Hi Nathan, your progression has been phenomenal, especially your serve and lightness of touch. I started playing a year ago and, like you, I'm obsessed. Unlike you, though, I'm still very much a beginner. Well done, mate

You are a very fast learner! The progress with your service is particularly impressive. I used to coach in the UK. You should feel very proud of yourself. I'm happy you found the most wonderful sport in the world.

Dude this is insane progression. I've played over 20yrs and on a reslly high level, now I'm a coach. The most impressive thing to me is your ability to hit from different heights and take the ball early, that is something that comes naturally w time, but you hava mastered it unbeliavebly fast!!! CONGRATS!!

I can't believe this video is doing so well ... Did not expect this many views, comments and subs, thanks everyone! In the coming days I will upload a Q&A vid to answer all the questions I received. Way better than typing them all in the replies haha. Stay tuned 💪🏽 - EDIT: The new video is live, watch it here https://youtu.be/bZs11mFtvrQ

Impressive progression for someone who is self taught and learned as an adult. You clearly have some talent for tennis, and passion. I think regular lessons and hitting with players who are stronger and more consistent than you are would enable you to take a great leap forward very quickly.

I am 43 and play since 1986. You are playing excellent and your volley game is better than that one from the most professionals today.

Agree with all who say that this is an unbelievable learning speed. You've got Kyrgios serve down the the T. It seems you did the youtube coaching approach and I think that is the right way. So many coaches out there that do not know how to teach and let people do the wrong thing over and over. I think it's lesson to them to see how good you've become entirely on your own.

Man, i’m a tennis coach and that’s IMPRESSIVE for being self-taught. Keep going, tennis is a beautiful and lifetime sport!!!!!!

every time I saw that serve i was amazed at how great it looked and makes me want to practice more

You can very proud of you, very well! All the best for your game! Greetings from Austria

So great to see your passion for tennis! My son Giacomo (7 years old tomorrow) says that you have improved massively! Keep training and keep having fun (and remember that power comes from the ground, through your legs .... stay balanced, use the ground). Peace to you broh. Daddy and Giacomo

It’s refreshing to hear how excited you are about hitting certain shots for the first time. Subscribed, will be fun following your tennis journey!

This is quite phenomenal, Nathan! I really enjoyed watching the progression, which was huge. It's amazing to see what a difference three years can make!

Jesus!!! You’re a beast, great great accomplishment. This fuxking sport is so hard to learn, you are doing amazing my man. I wish you 2023 season ahead! So cool to see new players hooked and working to get better an better while enjoying the process

Incredible progress. I started playing 1 year ago. No sports background!!! Still a beginner!!! Your progress is inspiring!!!
