Not improving in tennis? This is how I get my sharpness on court.

If you are a tennis fan or player you must have read about the training regime of the top ranked tennis pros. Andy Murray is the perfect example of "no pain no gain" approach when he gets ready for his epic rallies during off court training. I have prepared a short video to show you how my regular training looks like. I promise you, yes - PROMISE - this works and is a fast track way to excel in all areas - speed, foot work, balance, cardiovascular fitness, strength and of course, powerful shots. 



I hope you enjoyed this video. Have you got your own way of keeping sharp on tennis court?. Please use comment box below.
