Welcome To The Global Sports Coaching Tennis Journal!
The Global Web site for Tennis Coaching!
Dear Tennis Enthusiast
Issue 20, February 2008
Welcome to February's Tennis Newsletter; we hope you all had a chance to catch some of the breath taking tennis at the Australian Open. Our article Australian Open 2008 explores how the elevated level of tennis will shape the future of the game.
Part of this improved tennis has to be put down to the type of strings modern players are using - especially Luxilon string which is giving players unbelieveable spin, power and control. Read how strings can revolutionise your game just as it has the pro players.
The developments in the sport are heavily built on speed, so don't miss the article on developing blazing speed. The athleticism of players such as Tsonga, Djokovic and Henin only serve to underline the value of speed to high performance tennis player.
Finally read how you can combine a day at the beach with a great tennis work out in the innovative beach tennis concept (might be tough to market for our UK members).
Enjoy!!!
We hope you enjoy the newsletter and please keep the feedback coming in, we want to hear what you think of the web site and what you would like to see more of. Send feedback to admin@globalsportscoaching.com
