go good anna
good job nice backhand turn very nice
excellent excellent very nice
big turn on the backhand shoulder turn it and match point right here give me a rip
you're doing so great you're getting a lot better so what's your training regimen now like you play
we play once a week no oh we play once right and then what else do you do besides that can i play
with some other people okay great yeah that's great but you know what everybody's so different
different opponents you get different like type of shots coming at you
yeah that's great and you do singles right yeah awesome and you still do the clinic as well right
um no i haven't done clinics since they had this uh competition in february i don't know
what competition i think they had something oh like a tournament yes oh you didn't join
okay you're not quite ready yeah i didn't go i don't know why you know all right down
down the road you're going to start competing too start playing some matches yeah but you don't know
even know how to do you know how to keep score we never did even no i don't i got to teach you that
okay i got to teach you how to keep score like 15 love 30 love and all that and are you practicing
your serve you're not you have to Anna because you can't play matches without having to serve
the serve is super important you know what's also great because we have so many videos now
you can also review the videos do you ever do that i'm always reviewing the videos
because like i during the lesson there is a reactive mode and stuff yeah but then you
sit down and you're like yeah watching you can review and you go into i and i have a lot of
moments because i'm just watching the video right you probably like what it is the thing in a lesson
sometimes i tell you so many things you forget but you have it on on video you can always review it
do you ever read the comments um sometimes sometimes the comments are i gotta tell you
out of all the comments i get the comments under your videos are the best oh yeah yeah i gotta read
you something okay so this guy says the majority of experienced players has worse strokes than she
had after this introduction this was on our first video the beginner video that we made
so this is really something amazing epic video no that was an amazing video because you did so well
right away you picked it up super fast yeah i fell in love with the game right away right away right
it's just yeah you like it after dancing is my next favorite this is the second passion
yeah very very nice what's in the bushes here no you're here she's going crazy paparazzi what is it
she has a very very nice personality this guy likes your personality i i've heard that a lot
you know i learned you know very nice okay let's see here okay this guy says it would be really
interesting if you could show her progress in three months six months etc so this is
actually something that's amazing i always wanted to have this opportunity to have someone who i'm
teaching like from scratch but have it on video because i love teaching beginners it's one of my
favorite things to do because i can literally like teach them from scratch from the beginning and
then you can see the progress of of how are they improving but i never had the opportunity to tape
it from day one and then down the road have it on video footage so it's definitely something that uh
we should do like continue to record no pressure and then like maybe two years
from now see how good you've gotten and then have the comparisons you know from the beginner stage
um to when you get more advanced okay this guy says beautiful form please feature her every week
well actually you know as already told you we decided to take a little bit of a break
from recording because we don't want it to ever get repetitive
we want to keep it fresh and exciting yeah and we don't want to go over the same lessons like
twice we don't have we want to have repetitive sessions so we had pretty much all the strokes
yeah and now we're going to take a little bit of a break like um maybe two three months and
see how you're progressing then record again and have like a progress report you know
it's going to be super hot then yeah when it was hot like where was september i think right
what month was it remember i think it was august maybe august so how many months have
been working already five months five months this hasn't been that hasn't been that long
this guy asked is it possible to follow anna on a social network is it possible yes of course what
is it follow me everybody but what is it tell tell people it's a n a r o g e r s 7 anna
rogers seven that's instagram what about tiktok are you still doing tiktok i know i had my but
you haven't deleted it no i have not deleted so what's your tiktok i forgot i think it's anna v
one nine seven five and annv1975 yeah so everybody go follow follow anna on the social network
you know you never know good good how did she repay you for this private lesson
what is this i read this one well i'll get into that in a minute we we do have
an agreement i'm sure you want to we have an agreement arrangement
we have an arrangement now i'm going to tell i'm going to tell but i'm going to respond to it
from uh from a specific question okay this is interesting this guy says it's so obvious
that she plays golf the follow through and how she moves the other leg and her foot after the stroke
you're a golf player no no i've tried it twice yeah yeah recently actually okay also like
after we after our beginner session or yeah yeah that was a couple months ago i've tried oh okay so
you need it but you haven't played golf before no no okay okay anna this is very interesting um lol
she is not a beginner it is staged taught over 10k hours of lessons she's trying to look like
a beginner oh that's a big compliment seriously but i'm a stage person that's for sure i like to
you know were you are you lying to me all along no you never played before no that was our first
session right when we recorded that epic video yes i've never i've never played in my life yeah
that's why when i fed u balls you're hitting everything on with two hands on both sides
out of all the beginners that i ever thought i think you progressed the fastest that's why
i don't blame people who think this is staged and fake because it's quite amazing how how much
how you picked it up immediately in that first session you started hitting balls over the net
and started cleaning up your technique because i can tell you that some of the other beginners
that i teach they have a very difficult time connecting with the ball they can't even connect
with the with the strings and the ball together you know yeah i feel like the
animal is coming out of me when the ball is coming yeah it's very natural it's very natural
but um yeah so you you were like you learned it very very quickly you picked it up very quickly so
i understand that people think uh it was staged but it was definitely not
um you were an absolutely 100 complete beginner uh before that first lesson
who's agreed with me that she's russian anna what's what will you reveal your nationality
yes i'm from russia you're from russia okay all right this guy from siberia from the coldest part
and i live in here in paradise you know what's funny you know who else is from siberia sharapova
yeah this must be this tennis hotspot a lot of great tennis players from there all right
totally unfair comment this guy qualifies it right away but anna seems to be more interested
in the opportunity to have a bunch of new skimpy outfits than anything else
okay no the thing is like i honestly didn't have time to invest into clothes for tennis yet
exactly i just think it's not my number one priority whatever skimpy i have home i wear
right you don't have you didn't especially that first lesson you didn't have any uh
tennis clothes this is a lulu lemon but i don't think it's for uh there's nothing that's
ridiculous don't even listen to it don't listen to that don't listen to that people don't realize
it's very warm here i mean like i don't know how else to dress but lightly you gotta dress lightly
exactly it's 90 degrees out anna this guy says i can almost see her brain grow new connections
second by second she is so smart oh i agree i didn't notice my brain yes very sometimes it comes
handy sometimes really i'm overthinking the stroke well this is on your forehand that's what happened
yes see a lot of people are wondering uh what i'm doing with your forehand and they were telling me
also what to do on your forehand oh yeah but i through my experience i made the decision
to go back to your old forehand like we talked about because we're going to develop that loop
a little bit slower than i normally would with other people because your interpretation
of the loop was a little bit uh too mechanical so you were obsessing on the loop it was too much in
your head like you said you were thinking about it too much and it made the forehand very robotic
and mechanical it didn't look smooth anymore yeah and you weren't getting it in you were missing it
a lot when you weren't playing with me you told me your forehand was not working at all in the
clinics and that's why i made the decision to to slow down on the loop you know to just build it
gradually step by step and your forehead came back i think it's been pretty good lately right it's
getting better it's getting better ballroom dancer she's light on her feet definitely helps a female
Federer that's a very nice comment oh yeah so let's just tell the audience you do ballroom dance
yeah i love dancing right you did competitions and stuff right i did competitions i perform
um and i love going social dancing this is like most fun this is cardio right yeah and what i
find with uh ballroom dancers is the weirdest thing i've was i'm teaching actually two other
people that do ballroom dance and one of them you met remember that yes and um everyone that does
ballroom dance is in unbelievable shape like they don't have an ounce of fat on them so it must be
in the most amazing workout ever ballroom dance yes yeah i'm waiting for you to start oh right
that's we're going to reveal that later okay this is an interesting comment she's already athletic
this coach is amazing the ability to bring out the best in an athlete is a great skill she will be on
a women's 3.5 team in no time if she keeps this up then when she falls in love with the game i
don't see why she won't be a solid 4.0 player so you know what those numbers mean there's like the
rating system and it's the let's say 5.0 is like the highest you can get as a recreational player
and right now i would rate you as a 3-0 you think so i think so okay because people asked
me at the clinic yeah and they said ask your coach so 3.0 3.0 i think we're going to be 3.5
in a few months okay and then probably next year we're going to be 4.0 like improvement in tennis
it's very gradual like you can't just jump these levels fast you have to be patient but i think
i think this this um person says 4.0 i actually think you can be 5.0 i think so but it's going
to take a long time i'm good yeah it's gonna take a lot of like training you're gonna have
to play as much as possible muscle memory you're gonna have to start playing matches
you're gonna have to learn how to keep score and all that stuff and um i don't
see any reason why you shouldn't get up to the highest recreational level this is interesting
what a great video i watched the whole thing with no intention of playing tennis whatsoever
it serves different purposes but you know my goal is to get people to play tennis
and one thing i do like i get a lot of beginners to watch me and they start playing tennis and they
and they write me and say i started playing playing tennis because of you
i love it but this guy has no intention of playing and still had a fun time watching the video so
that's good too i guess but my but my main goal i do want people i want to grow the sport you know
i love this game like the one uh i don't know if you found it no it's a late uh comment i was just
watching the video and somebody said the guy looks like tom brady i know i saw that i don't see it's
a good one you know i don't see that at all tom brady yeah i see that no yeah no not again maybe
like the way you you squinch your face i do have a lot yeah yeah yeah you need the botox you know
i'm gonna pass on that okay i don't think i'm gonna do that here it is this guy writes
maybe a next video is of you getting a lesson in ballroom dancing uh-huh here
we go okay so now so now we can explain the entire arrangement between anna and I
so i'm teaching you tennis and in return you were going to teach me ballroom dancing and while you
are one of the most gifted beginner tennis players i've ever seen i am one of the least gifted
dancers probably you've ever seen so you actually have the the hard challenge of trying to teach me
that's true it's very true it's very true no no no i taught him some basic lessons basic lessons yes
i did you did great yes of course i'm trying but that's body weight transfer it's not my strength
awareness but i do see already like things i don't have time but i do see some improvements
already in my posture from dancing that's one of the takeaways every dancer that i meet they
have the most amazing posture ever and so do you and maybe that's something that i can learn from
dancing because my posture has always been and not the greatest so well you are like a walking noodle
so speaking of dancing do you want to do you want to do our lesson that we normally do do you want
to do a dance lesson real quick yeah all right all right let's go okay let's do it okay so which
one we're doing today we are learning bachata okay all right it's like eight counts it's very
yeah i think we back up a little bit very cool music you know anything goes yeah that's one two
three four five what kind of music is it i'm sorry i interrupted the teacher but i should turn on the
i'm going to get copyright strike so just tell me um we'll turn on the music um in our heads
we can i'm going to get copyright striked oh that's right the music could be anything
that is going like this if you're sitting and you're doing this with your leg okay in the bar
that means it's bachata it's very like easy yes okay one two three four five six seven eight got
it okay three tap one two three tap tap means you are not putting body weight on it so usually okay
one all right two three tap one two three tap okay wait wait wait and then and then tap yes let's do
it are you ready i'm ready so which one which way we're going this way or that way we are going this
way we are facing each other all right and we are doing this okay let's go all right ready go
