Tennis conditioning

Conditioning for tennis is something that is overlooked at the recreation level. If we look at professional tennis players you will see how fit they are. Professional tennis players put their bodies through tremendous amounts of stress on a day by day basis. Tennis requires movement. This means you must be able to get to the ball. At the amateur level the most common problem I’ve seen is injury. This can occur due to lack of fitness, poor technique, and bad diet. We all would want shots like Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Serena Williams. Behind the scenes we don’t see their daily conditioning routines. We assume they were born to hit like that.

Children that are considering playing tennis should fuel their bodies like professional tennis players. Nutrition is a major building block for a highly tuned engine. This is why you need to focus on creating a proper tennis diet that contains everything you need to keep you energized, focused, and playing your best when you step out onto the court!
