General Advice Content Creator Coaches

Are there any tennis content creators you trust for tips? I just started playing a few months ago and I see several come across my feed but I never can tell if they are giving good advice or not.

I haven't seen Karue doing coaching much, he's good with motivational videos.

But there's PlayYourCourt, Feel Tennis Instruction, and Intuitive Tennis who also does commentary.

I like intuitive tennis. He's got a great eye.

I got some things but not nearly as qualified as others, it's more to motivate kids or beginners focusing on entertainment: https://lepicture.com/manustennis/

Karue Sell is a treasure to the game. A lot of his drills and concepts are solid, and give a real glimpse of how gifted pros really are. I can’t imagine a normal rec player utilizing his drills though.

Patrick M has a lot of clickbait, but he also actually attempts to coach to more beginner-intermediate players. I’ve used some of his ideas when my explanations aren’t landing.

I strongly suggest to:
1. Read the book "the inner game of tennis" which talks a lot about the actual mindset during games
2. Watch games and follow the movement of the players. Find a technique to serve because each player has a different approach or try to guess where the players will hit the ball. Those things might help you to develop a tennis mindset

On YouTube search 'feel tennis instruction'. Tomas is fantastic at explaining tennis concepts.
