On my brutal commute to and from work this week I’ve been listening to this podcast with Ari Shaffir and Rolf Potts. It got me thinking about doing some more travel. With a family of 4, I couldn’t do it the same way as Rolf Potts or Ari Shaffir but I could definitely do it …
There are so many good junior tennis players out there doing college recruitment videos. The skills vary and these videos really show a lot about the players game. The really good videos show all of their shots from different angles, point play, serves, etc. If you’re a coach, you can get a decent feel for …
If you follow along on my YouTube channel, you may have seen that I was preparing for a tournament this weekend. I played the men’s 4.5 draw at the Mansfield Summer Sizzler. First Round Bye I got a bye first round which was nice because, as the name says, the heat and humidity were brutal. …
I figured I’d show you guys what a typical day of meals looks like. Some days I skip breakfast and just drink coffee. If I am recovering after an active day or am planning an active day ahead, I’ll eat breakfast or two bigger meals. I typically run a calorie deficit during the week but …
As you may know, I’ve been dealing with a tough case of golfer’s elbow. I took a little over a full week off to recover. I’ve also taken a few other measures to help alleviate the symptoms and hopefully cure my elbow pain. You can read more about what I’ve done to help with golfer’s …
I’ve taken then last two weeks off from intense practices in order to rest my newly minted golfer’s elbow. It happened in a practice the morning after doing some weight training involving pull-ups. I armed a few too many forehands and it caught up to me. I didn’t even realize I had golfer’s elbow until …
Dealing with injuries sucks. I’ve had varying degrees of injuries over the last 4 years (never had injuries as a junior). I’ve dealt with shin splints, tennis elbow, sore muscles, strained/pulled tendons and ligaments, and more. I’ve been lucky I haven’t had any injuries that require surgery but I’m not confident I’ll be able to …
Flo Tennis recently came up on my radar when I was trying to watch the NCAA tournament. I hated the feed on the NCAA site. The NCAA live stream was from a terrible angle, poor resolution/quality, and just over-all poorly done. I saw Flow Tennis was “following along” with the tournament and implied you could …
I’ve taken away a lot of feedback from some great tennis communities and am incorporating that into feedback from my coach. I realised that to give maximum output, I needed some good tennis equipment. And so, I bought some good Wilson racquets and a couple of High Quality Oliver Thomas Bags. Here are a few other …
I posted my ground stroke video to reddit for some feedback from the r/tennis community. As expected, I got some really good feedback and some less than stellar feedback. Here are a few comments that I took as most important and helpful. I’ve already started implementing a couple of these things into my game and …
