Fit to Play Tennis: High Performance Training Tips

In contrary to what some other review said, that this book is not for recreational tennis players, I believe that this book is just perfect for any level player. Many of the chapters about gym training, stretching and myofascial release keep the tennis players healthy and injury free. The more hours one spends on the court, the more one needs to do the off court training/rehabilitation. And especially a recreational player, because they generally don't have massage/physical therapists around them all the time. They have to do it on their own, and this book will teach you how.

Besides that, the book has chapters on nutrition, mental aspects of the game, planning in long term, etc. Great book!!! I have it in my bed and just randomly open it and just read a few pages again and again!
