Book Reviews of Fit to Play Tennis: High Performance Training Tips
Book Review: A great book for tennis players!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an extremely helpful book that has tips ranging from on court training to injury prevention.
My daughter is a junior tournamnet tennis player and she plays a lot of tennis. When she visited Canada, she injured her lower back/hip. After she went to several doctors, we finally found Carl to help her recover from her injury. It turned out to be a malaligned hip problem, which he has written a whole chapter about in this book. Under Carl's treatment, my daughter recovered in 4 weeks. About ten months later, my daughter felt pain in her lower back/hip again, we realized that it may be hip malalignment again, so we followed the correction exercise in this book and she recovered in two weeks.
In this book, there is a chapter on how to strengthen one's core and how to connect one's lower extremeities with his/her upper extremeties through the core, which is really important in a sport like tennis because of all the constant rotations and movement on the court.
Aside from that, there are also great tips on injury prevention, nutrition, mental and tactical strategies, and recovering from an injury. So, as a tennis parent, I highly recommend this book to all tennis players.
