Improve your stroke using the MFX Program. Watch the full breakdown here: https://olivaritennis.com/mfx

All of us were taught about movement, footwork, and of course, keeping your head still on contact, but after watching Federer, I came up with a mental trick.  I think of the ball as my dancing partner, not something my opponent is trying to beat me with, and as such I need to be prepared to meet my partner the minute she leaves the opponent racquet, so that we can execute the dance move, whatever that maybe, to send her back to the other side, with finesse, calm, not violently and in a hurry.

Then the whole match becomes a dance performance, and I don't care about my opponent.  And I am always in a relaxed but focused state.  It also suits my personality better because I am not an ultra competitive person.  I play tennis because I love to play and execute as well as I can.  I look at tennis like a musical/dance performance, not like a war between two players.

This is how you know that Tennis is the most difficult sport:

A 13 minute video explaining how to look at the ball 😅

“Our 1st opponent is the net”
Man u’re so true on this.  I think i’ve been defeated many more times by the net than the actual person im playing against 😂

this is single most important video ever made on tennis

I use the bounce-hit technique.  Your opponent hits the ball and you have to say BOUNCE, the split second that it bounces on your side. Then you say HIT exactly when you hit the ball.

I love your instructions. I will try it on the court tomorrow.

Coach is actually showing us how to coach ourselves in real time. Legend.

Very useful video. You are really clear. You don't need the background music, that's just annoying!

Thank you very much . My biggest prolem was watching the ball. With your help I am making progress .

I started doing that today and  imimediately my shots improved!!

The same thing of watching the ball applies to the serve as well and keeping the arm witch you throw the ball with pointed at the ball until you hit it, makes a huge difference between a good and consistent serve versus a bad one

I love that every time we see a random person in the video, they're not keeping their eye on the ball at the moment of contact lol. 11:09

This is my exact problem.
Most people when they miss, if you watch their head, it goes up too soon.
Got to keep the head down, steady, and watch the ball.

Your videos and channel is up there with the best on YouTube and believe me I watch every tennis channel on here to try and improve myself. Thanks for the content and happy new year. 🎉

These principles apply not only for groundstrokes but also for volley, service, and smash.

The "One" count approach is brilliant. I twisted a bit for my own games. When I hit the ball, I say "Hit", to focus on the ball, then immediatly say "Win" to keep the head down. I use "Win" because it rhymes with Hit. After I use this approach, I barely have any unforced errors., balls stay low and deep. I won a lot of points.

Great vid.  Not just talk, but practial tips that you can utilize even without a coach.  Very practical.

I have been playing tennis for over 30 years and when I really learned this I improved my game tremendously. You hear it all the time to watch the ball. I works for pickleball as well ,actually all racquet sports. Tennis is the king of all racquet sports. Good video.

Only a few coaches, understand it. Well done!!!
