Endurance on the tennis court is a big deal. Especially since we never know when we walk out on court just how long a match will go. Maybe it's a quick two setter that you win 6-0, 6-0. But, often times, it turns out to be a a grueling three setter that you are only able to win after three long, drawn-out tiebreak sets. You just never know. So this week, we're talking about fitness and endurance and how you can become a fitter tennis player who is able to make it through all of your matches, even those intense three setters.

One of the things that makes tennis a unique sport is that, in most of the matches we play, our opponent is also our umpire. The one person who has a definite interest in having calls go against us is often the very person making those calls. And because of this, because in the vast majority of our matches, there is an absence or a virtual absence of any on-court officials, cheating in tennis is very easy. All you have to do is say "out," and you can win the point. And win it with almost no penalty for this unethical behavior. So what can we do to deal with cheaters in tennis? How can we try t ..read more

You’ll notice there’s no music and none of the other fancy stuff I usually do in my podcasts. I just wanted to put this together quickly because I think this is an important topic for all of us. The fact is that the threat of Corona Virus is quite serious. We all need to do what we can to pre ..read more
