the lines are still good

Follow the happenings of an animated college tennis coach and his teams in their pursuit of an NCAA National Tennis Championship. It is always the impressive trophy that is displayed for all to admire that gets the attention, but it is the journey to claiming that trophy, the relationships built, the people served and the memories created, that live forever...and what I hope you will find interesting...

Core strenghtening in tennis players...

Unlike years ago, most athletes today have learned that they need to get into the gym and do some form of weight training to excel in their chosen sport. However, one muscle group that is often neglected in training is the core musculature. This is particularly unwise for the tennis player as most movements are heavily dependant on this region. In addition, leaving out the core in your training program may also lead to muscle imbalance and injury.

As a result, I suggest clicking here and reading "Improving Core Strength in Tennis Players" by Dr. Donald Chu, a leading authority in sports medicine and expert in the field of plyometric training. I am sure you will find something here that you will want to include in your next workout.
