Individualized Tennis Training for Optimal Performance
Tennis performance draws on technical skill, tactical sense, psychology, and physical capacity (strength, agility, aerobic and anaerobic fitness). To make training efficient and effective, conditioning goals and session content should match the specific demands of tennis and the individual needs of each player — their strengths and areas to improve.
