Injury prevention

Is technique only improved on the court?

Let's reflect...

From my point of view as a coach, our task is for the student or player to be able to play tennis at their highest level without suffering from injuries and thus lengthen their useful life in this sport. A large percentage of amateur players, in this case adults, tend to have many discomforts over the years, including: tennis elbow, knee pain, shoulder pain, etc.

It's very important to understand that injuries can be caused by several factors such as bad eating habits, fatigue accumulation, stressbetween others. But i have good news, and is that these injuries can be avoided through prevention. prevenciónPrevention, as the word says, is a measure or provision that is taken in advance to prevent something considered negative from happening. In this case it's responsible for the care of the position and security in carrying out the physical exercises.

The only way to improve technique and specific tennis movements is not on the court, but off the court, in a gym, at home, or in a park, you can help your body receive compatible stimuli and improve the physical-technical condition. These movements that I mention are reflected on the field in the elasticity in required balls, the quality of the rotations, and finally, it is that the body is able to withstand the repetitive movements of tennis.

It's not about choosing one or the other, it's not black or white, they're perfectly combinable and working together, adding a good diet can give you great benefits in your tennis, and even more importantly, in your life. No matter how valuable the mental factor is in tennis, if the player doesn't have good physical capacity, it's very difficult for him to have a great performance. If that good performance of results exists but you're not physically prepared, the good performance can become fleeting.

Injuries in tennis are very common, both at high performance and at the amateur level, and that's why we must integrate and continue developing the body movement through prevention.
