motivating to your daily life:
1. Before hitting your first higher-intensity balls for the day, prioritize an easy, low-pace, consistent rally keeping the ball in play all while slowly increasing lower spine activity. This applies to all ages and levels.
2. Build your consistency in groups of 5 good repetitions in a row. (Less luck<More skill)
3. Learn how to play “Social” tennis aka cooperatively. As well as more “Competitive” style tennis, when shots become more challenging.
4. Play for the cardio rhythm, bring more than 12+ balls. Try to hit 25 or more shots over/across the net with a friend before a minute runs out.
5. Expand your racket skills by playing Pickleball, Ping Pong, and Tennis at any age or experience level player.
