Tennis Players: Feeling Pains and Getting Injured?

Have you experienced injuries or pains during tennis matches, lost focus or maybe even had to retire the match?  I have, and it is very frustrating!  After something like a pain or injury happens, it's extremely difficult to really focus on the game.  Even if you try to ignore it, you'll probably unintentionally compensate for the injured area and play differently, so you are most likely to mishit the shots.   

I was very excited to watch Mutua Madrid Open’s final a few weeks ago because Kei Nishikori, a Japanese tennis player, was fighting against World #1 player Rafael Nadal (known as the “King of Clay”).

Today's rain was for me!

Today's rain was for me . . . it was exactly what I needed.  As a personal trainer in Los Gatos, I wish I loved running.  Many of you who know me have heard me say that I don't love to run, but that I actually do like the feeling after finishing a run.  Usually that Runner's High feeling isn't enough to get me excited when I'm lacing up my running shoes and getting ready to head out the door.  Still, I know it's good for me and I've never regretted getting out for a run by the time it was finished.

This afternoon's run was different.  It was pouring down rain when I started out the front door, and Drew will attest to the fact that it took me a few extra minutes to get going.  It's not a problem to go do a functional training workout at The New Basis, go for a mountain bike ride with my husband, hike with some friends, etc.  But running . . . let's just say I get out the door a bit slower for those workouts.
