That’s a really interesting question because I am a tennis player and most of my technique is defined by the video I watched. For example, I really improved my backhand and my forehand by just watching videos of like real matches. I’ve been on real matches like Asana 2023 final where Jokovic have played Tetsipas and also I really it really helped me to get my slice better. I watched a video of Roger Federer plays against Rafa Nadal and this video really helped me to understand what I’ve done wrong and what do I need to do in the future to hit better slices. I’ve practiced it on my trainings with my coach. My coach usually said that it never would help me if I just go and watch some video of tennis but actually that really helped me improve my game. Since I watched these videos, my game is really leveled up and now I am a really good player, like maybe a list or maybe like maybe I’m going to be a pro tennis player I don’t know but this method of learning really benefit me and help me to improve my game.

That's a really interesting question because I am a tennis player and most of my technique is defined by the videos I watched. For example, I really improved my backhand and my forehand by just watching videos of real matches. I've been to real matches like the 2023 Australian Open final where Djokovic played Tsitsipas, and also it really helped me to get my slice better. I watched a video of Roger Federer playing against Rafa Nadal, and this video really helped me to understand what I've done wrong and what I need to do in the future to hit better slices. I've practiced it in my training sessions with my coach. My coach usually said that it would never help me if I just went and watched some videos of tennis, but actually that really helped me improve my game. Since I watched these videos, my game has really leveled up, and now I am a really good player, like maybe a pro tennis player, I don't know, but this method of learning really benefited me and helped me to improve my game.
