    This course is about learning how to prepare for success on the tennis court. I believe that understanding why things are important rather than just being told what to eat or drink will lead to more meaningful and longer lasting positive changes. This way you can plan and adjust accordingly, rather than just following a list of things that I lay out for you. In this course we will break things down and consider sleep/recovery, daily food choices (what you’re typically eating for breakfast/lunch/dinner), what you’re eating after you practice or play, what to take in on the court, what to eat before you play, how to manage playing in extreme heat, unique needs for the female tennis players, how to navigate the constant travel, and we will also look at supplements that may benefit performance and/or recovery.

Description

Everybody knows that nutrition can have a huge impact on tennis performance, yet so many players are getting it wrong! Not eating or drinking the right things on the court, running out of gas in the third set, not recovering properly between matches, or cramping that could have been prevented by better nutrition. 

I am a sports dietitian who works with high-level tennis players including Grand Slam winners as well as up and coming pros, juniors, and club players. Having also spent time as a college tennis coach, I know that getting players to try new things can be a major challenge. I also know that budget plays a role in the foods coaches can provide for players as well as in the choices players make on their own. With all of that in mind, this course was set up to offer easy to implement solutions, without being burdened by complicated plans or being told to eat things you don't like!

Years of both research and practical experience in tennis have allowed me to create a course that offers coaches and players an understanding of the key sports nutrition concepts in a format that is easy to follow. Topics are broken down into short modules that can be viewed over a period of days or weeks, and you won’t need a nutrition degree to understand it and take away helpful information that will improve your results. 

Who this course is for:

  • This course is for players, parents, and coaches who want to use the power of nutrition to improve tennis performance. No prior nutrition knowledge is needed. The content in this course is aimed at the competitive tennis player, and may not be as applicable to people that are not playing and practicing at high intensities.
