One of the things that makes Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal such good tennis players is their footwork. Their footwork doesn't just get them from A to B... it's actually a weapon!
FYB head coach Will Hamilton and Yann Auzoux (a 2008 and 2010 Washington Post coach of the year and former Davis Cup player for Cameroon) walk you through the footwork patterns that Federer, Nadal, and other top players use during a match... in other words, modern tennis footwork.
Will here... This is one of the best footwork videos online (granted, I'm biased). It's actually one of the best videos we've ever produced. Yann is a great coach and he shows you exactly how to move quickly, efficiently, and in a way that helps you prevent injuries.
Please let us know what you think of the video in the comments below!

@YenTien 14 лет назад

I review this video before I go to the court everytime recently...simply the best tennis coaching video ever!

@daweedcito 11 лет назад

Great training tips... I like the video. No one has talked about Federer's footwork as one of the reasons he doesnt get injured, which is the truest statement I have ever heard any trainer mention.

@conj1124 14 лет назад

Thanks for this video. I tried it this am and I can really feel the difference in my shots. I feel I can reach more shots and hit it with a lot of pace without too much arm acceleration.

@jbrussell1 10 лет назад

Very helpful video. It was nice seeing the students perform the footwork.

@davspa 11 лет назад

Thank you, I needed to see them spelled out like that. I already knew the pivot from watching pros and listening to Oscar Wegner, but this taught all the steps and the reason behind doing it. I look forward to using them, to take time away and move more efficiently.

@tringuyen3210 10 лет назад

Very useful, I will try it. Thanks for the video

@Bflo23 12 лет назад

Great video.... Footwork is such a great weapon. Never realized how complex footwork can be but it makes perfect sense.

@languillierbernard237 9 лет назад

Very interesting update for people like me who started tennis 25+ years ago, thanks!

@topspinman1 8 лет назад

this guy is very knowledgeable. as a teaching professional myself alot of this stuff can be easily translated to alot of my students. I really like the different verbage. especially about breaking down the open and closed stance. I find many intermediate playerd use open just for the fact that they see good players doing it and don't understand the benifits and such.

@jtake2 14 лет назад

Very nice to view. Its interesting how we should move on the court to get a better game. I although think some of the moves I do already instinctively like the pivot step at the outside of the court.

@jamiesimson508 3 года назад

@casimer 11 лет назад

Great video

@champ1193 14 лет назад

i don't see how the cross step is any better than the basic shuffle... i would think that half of the intermediate players would trip on their own feet trying to do that wow those kids all seemed like pretty solid players, awesome video

@wcoffee1979 10 лет назад

absolutely!

@AnIolar 14 лет назад

Tried the walking step - very effective! Thanks guys! Going to try the cross over step next. Q: Why didn't he use the cross over step (at 17:10 ) before taking the pivot step?

@vibe4me 14 лет назад

Thanks for putting together a very useful video. But where would you recommend to begin? Do you practice each kind of step for 15 mins once a week?

@WaelKilaniTennisCoaching 7 лет назад

Great !

@alfandosavant4639 8 лет назад

i use that carioca step on my 1HBH and it really makes my shots explosive

@ramcadag 11 лет назад

Thank you guys. your videos inspire my learning. Have any thoughts about old tennis? In our tennis club all of them uses old tennis with no footwork and they think they are pros aka "veterans". I'm just confused but I think I will stick on relying these lessons, watch how Djokovic moves and the gang. Many thanks.

@Andypandy26 10 лет назад

It's amazing how technical tennis really is....

@doctornov7 12 лет назад

This is now my study guide.

@pencilcheck 3 года назад

I don't agree with the reasoning and of taking time away, but i think having some understanding of footwork will definitely help anyone's game.

@dragonfliproductions 13 лет назад

this video deserves a high-five

@GinoFerreri 11 лет назад

I just read the top comments. It is Karaoke which sounds like Carioca. I am getting old and blind. hahahaha Great video guys! GO FYB and help us all !!!!! Great job dude!

@randalwax 14 лет назад

wow, this really showed me so much more than i ever knew what was happening! however, toward the end, it was difficult for me to see what they said was a cross-step whereas to me, it looked like shuffling without a cross. :(

@torrubirubi 6 лет назад

I am living in Switzerland, and sometimes you met people who played with Federer, sometimes when he was a kid. A friend of my, a tennis coach, told me that Federer came once to to his club and asked to train in the court he was giving lessons. Of course he said yes. My friend said that several minutes in the beginning of the training, Federer was playing incredible slow, not moving well, just trying to hit the ball clean. With the time he began to speed up, and after 20 minutes Federer was playing really fast. You can see the same in this video: very slow, not moving well, etc.

@samtan1412 7 лет назад

It is useful for me as a freshmen.

@loren10197 13 лет назад

@FYB2007 im from france and cameroon and play tennis to!

@retadinftw 14 лет назад

I think federer uses the hopping shot often. good video :)

@banhovas 14 лет назад

correct!

@khaderach19 14 лет назад

@godeluX3 the walking step is when you move into the court. the open stance is lateral movement.

@darkkhan100 9 лет назад

@fbinsulation 14 лет назад

just noticed Roger use the pivot step a lot this week in toronto (especially on the forehand side). btw will, could you do an analysis of this week in Toronto? Especially Fed's tough matches with Berdych and Djokovic and how Murray was able to pull through in the final

@lebarosky 12 лет назад

With old wooden rackets, closed stances and open grips were the rule. Eastern grip front foot points at the net. Now, closed grips and open stances are the rule. I would argue that the speaker's opinion is not strictly true: the level of athleticism is generally higher, but the influence of technology is very strong in tennis. The ball stays on the racket so long, and the sweet spot is so much bigger, than it was 30 years ago.

@lisaweigand524 10 лет назад

Nicolas, its referring to his weight shift which adds to the MASS part of the mass & momentum. Does that help? That's why when Serena uses her legs and you see her lean toward the shot, she can hit with mind-blowing speeds. I loved this video. Excellent job explaining the various foot patterns. Explains why Roger makes it look so easy. The young man in the orange shirt who demonstrated the karaoka so well looked like Roger with that footwork! I don't really understand the benefit of the split jump shown at the end of the video, unless its simply to increase the forward momentum in neutralized, balanced manner (not leaning right or left)??

@4evermoocow 13 лет назад

Thank you SOO SOOOOOO much for this! I love your tennis clips! Never Stop!! :)

@SaltySiass 7 лет назад

I completly agree with the whole moving into the ball part. But as I see it, the walking step almost entirely blocks the rotation/uncoiling of the hips and upper body. By moving your left foot forward (right handed player) your hips just cant rotate into the ball. As a consequence the upper body cant rotate as much, and all that is left is your arms and shoulders, which have to compensate for the loss of power throughout the kinetic chain. So what you get is a more complicated shot, with less power.... Any thoughts on that?

@HawaiiProTennis 12 лет назад

This guy needs a history lesson in tennis and sports overall.

@MrNikolajdkk 14 лет назад

hey will i know this havent much to do with this but could you please do a video about ading light weigt tape i know im not the only one out there there would like to know how to do that it would be a great help thanks alot

@Say0n 9 лет назад

so you can only do a kaorke step for a slice? and the inside step only works on 2handed backhand?

@akin1989 14 лет назад

Correct me if am wrong, but would adding the hop to your movement create more spin on the ball since it emphasizes the downward to upward swing path?

@MrMvpbaseball2005 11 лет назад

starts at 6:35

@SadegoGG 12 лет назад

@euroclyde You have finally said something I agree with: "if your feet aren't in the right place, this amount of force you can transfer to the ball is reduced." But how do you know the feet being located in that area is not a side effect of work on the inside of the body and just because someone consciously puts there foot there doesn't mean they are replicating the work of the inside of the body? Energy is transferred on the inside of the body, which we can't see.

@diegochangos 14 лет назад

hey Will, quick question: the Pivot Step (16:48), allows you to return quickly to the middle but, how can you avoid a completely open stance?

@SSStennispro 11 лет назад

efficient footwork is learned, whether intentionally or unintentionally - nevertheless it is learned. teaching efficient footwork patterns is a must if you desire to improve, pros do not have to "think" about their footwork because they were taught specific footwork patterns when they are young - I have players all the time that were left up to themselves "how" to move to the ball - that's why they seek out professional teachers - to begin the process of becoming a better player

@clewalent 14 лет назад

@champ1193 i don't know how to explain it is true..but the cross step is actually more proficient than the basic shuffle..umm for me it give me more time to recover. You're right though i kept tripping the first time i used it but after a while after a long time of practice, it's better than the shuffle. just my 2 cents :)
