Tennis Training - Developing Blazing Speed for Tennis

Tennis speed training - Part 1. Strength training is required to help develop a "base" from which an athlete can build upon and become faster.

Great Tennis Coaching Reference!

Over the last few years, tennis has evolved into a physical battle. Many times the difference between winning and losing is not so much how you hit the ball, but how well you move and how long you can last. When I am working with a player, I emphasize a foundation based around anaerobic conditioning and correct movement technique.

The GlobalTennisCoaching.com Tennis Fitness and Tennis Drills eBooks are a great reference for coaches and players to find drills and exercises that allow them to reach their physical potential and maximise on-court results.
