When Fatigue Comes In, Faith Goes Out.

Hi tennis Buddies,

So….. Exams are over …. Nice …. Now festival season has started and there will be lots of sweets and junk food, simultaneously weather has started to change, it is getting little cooler, no more rain and no more breaks in the practice schedule.

Recently at ACTF ‘Champion Series Tournament’ was held for boys and girls under 12 and 14. I had the opportunity of meeting the tennis fraternity. Numbers of coaches were dejected that now a days players are not ready to work hard and do not have much liking for fitness program.

Well…….

YES, I have a Dream, to chisel my students into a complete Tennis Athlete as I want them to “Dominate The Court" and that can only be accomplished by – “Earn your Fitness.”

Well . . . . . .

Fitness is not something you find - like a 10 paise coin on a footpath.

Fitness is not something you win - like a toy in a cornflakes packet.

Fitness is not a spot of good luck - like winning the big sum in ‘Kaun banega Corerpati’ J.

Fitness is something you must earn, something you must deserve and something you must continue with. It is something which is hard to earn but also easy to lose.

First of all truly become a student of the game, if it is YES then it has to be YES, be prepared to get interested, ask questions, seek advice, educate yourself, listen to your body and get there the right way. In the end you create a body that won't run out of fuel, and will be efficient reliable and well tuned.

Remember, if you don't continue to look after it, it will rust and become worthless. Do not come under the comfort zone that it is the coach duty, no it is not coach duty, coach is only facilitator, he can share his knowledge and will try to make you learn, actually it is YOU vs. YOU.

Unfortunately, to become fit and athletic you've got to be prepared to put in a constant effort. But this effort will far outweigh the negatives because of the way it makes you feel and the confidence it will give you on tennis court and in everyday living.

DO IT, LOVE IT AND HAVE FUN -that is the motto.

I have observed that number of ‘Gujarat Players’ have a considerable good technique but fail to produce their stroke when they are moved two steps away, it is just pathetic, hardly anybody is seen with athletic stance, hardly anybody is seen with good stamina and endurance.

Tennis Buddies, in tennis, fitness can be a weakness or strength. Just as your speed, agility and footwork can be as potent a weapon as the killer forehand. Imagine if you could play a tennis tournament and be able to take the fitness element out of the equation. Imagine knowing that no matter how long the match goes for, you will never have to question your ability to stay out there and grind it out. It makes you feel that you are well prepared and ready and waiting for action.

Chalk out a system which will help you to develop tennis fitness and addresses all your needs. Core training is very vital as it develops your back, increases your muscle, power and agility and above all increases your balance and posture as a result injury risk is decreased. Work on your conditioning, endurance and flexibility. All your work out has to be tennis specific.

Fatigue makes cowards of us all. So True: When Fatigue Comes In, Faith Goes Out.

It is tragic if you don't work on and see the necessity and amazing benefits of fitness. This not only makes you a much, much better tennis player but it also makes you a tennis athlete. This in turn will make your attitude to yourself, others, tennis and life itself much, much better.

To Your Massive Tennis Success
