Additional Ultimate Conditioning for Tennis: 130 Exercises for Power, Agility and Quickness Information
|
Tennis is a dynamic, explosive sport that requires a wide range of skills and a high level of fitness. To play at one’s peak, form and skill must work hand in hand with physical ability. This book offers exercises for building a rock-solid physical foundation from which a player can develop a winning game. Specific drills are provided to improve multidirectional speed, balance and agility, as well as strength and hand-eye coordination. The easy-to-follow, clearly illustrated drills will help players at all levels improve their game. Developed by top coaches and players, these exercises provide a complete conditioning program that incorporates aerobics, plyometrics and functional training. Each exercise is described in terms of how to do it, which part of the body it works and, most importantly, how it improves a player’s game: from faster serves and more powerful ground strokes to sharper volleys and perfectly placed passing shots.

What Customers Say About Ultimate Conditioning for Tennis: 130 Exercises for Power, Agility and Quickness:
|
|
Key teaching points & variations/progressions are helpful sections. However, others may find it very helpful if this is a first resource on the subject. Depending on the individual, this could be a help or an annoyance. However, the content seems fairly standard. Like so many products, this book includes information that could be helpful or useless depending on the need.
Therefore, the usefulness of this book will depend on the needs of the athlete(s) as well as the current knowledge or library resources of the coach/trainer/parent. I train my daughter in an individual setting, so group drills are not relevant for her. Given the other resoueces that I already own, my rating of the book is based on its usefulness to me. There is also a section for proper & improper execution. Therefore, this section provides valuable information.
It has standard information found in many other conditioning books that cover a variety of exercises drills used for a wide variety of sports that may or may not include tennis. However, club coaches might find them to be very relevant and useful. The area & equipment section for each exercise/drill helps organize activities.In sum, the organization & presentation are very good. It uses figurines to demonstrate some of the drills along with pictures of actual athletes. I don't regularly see this in other books. However, based on the information currently read, I have not found any endorsement of the book by Andy Roddick even though his face is on the cover of this book.Strengths of this book are as follows: The organization is generally concise.
Some of the drills are group drills so the usefulness of this book will depend on this need. I have not completed reading the book since so many of the drills are similar to those found in other books that I already use.
