Ace Your Game: Best Practices for Tennis Players to Kickstart 2025

The holiday season may have disrupted your routine, but now is the perfect time to refocus and get back on track. Starting the year strong is all about being consistent and setting clear goals. Here’s how you can prepare for a successful 2025 on the court:

1. Set Clear, Achievable Goals

Decide what you want to improve this year. Whether it’s your serve, agility, or match strategy, having specific and realistic goals will help you stay focused and motivated.

2. Follow a Consistent Training Plan

Create a balanced schedule that includes practice, fitness training, and rest days. Start slowly and build up your routine to avoid injury or burnout.

3. Work on Your Fitness

Fitness off the court is just as important as practice on it. Add strength training, stretching, and cardio to your weekly routine. This will help you play better and stay healthy.

4. Learn from Past Matches

Look back at your previous games to figure out what worked and what didn’t. Consider getting advice from a coach to make improvements and build on your strengths.

5. Build Mental Strength

Tennis is a mental game too. Practice staying calm and focused during matches by using techniques like visualization and positive thinking.

6. Check Your Equipment

Make sure your gear is in good condition. Get your racquet strung, and check that your shoes are comfortable and supportive. Having the right equipment can make a big difference.

7. Eat Well and Stay Hydrated

A balanced diet and proper hydration give your body the energy it needs for training and matches. Focus on eating healthy and drinking plenty of water.

8. Play Pre-Season Matches

Playing a few practice matches before the season starts can help you feel ready for competition. Use these games to test your skills and adjust your strategy.

9. Take Time to Rest

Rest is just as important as training. Make sure you get enough sleep and try recovery activities like yoga or massage to keep your body feeling good.

10. Connect with Other Players

Spending time with other tennis players can help you learn and stay motivated. Join clubs or groups to share advice, tips, and encouragement.

Hi Dev, yes! We have started to include that feature in all the new workouts and programs starting with our ball machine circuits which drop July 1st! Thank you for the feedback, and hope you are enjoying the workouts! 💪

Hi Juan Felipe Velasquez sorry for the delayed response. I would suggest you push yourself on the weight you are using  but are able to complete the workout and exercise durations. Listen to your body.

Hi Everett Teague yes it’s a 4lb med ball!

Hi Mihai Badescu, apologies for the delay! Happy to hear your results have be going well! I would suggest a 3 days a week. Mon/Wed/Fri. If your feeling well I would add a Saturday and rest Sunday. Listen to your body. Consistency is key, you don't want to go super hard and then give up or quit after a couple of weeks. This is a lifestyle and if you're able to stay consistent you will see the results. The Series with Karue is really just whenever we're able to film the workout. Sometimes we're  not able to film but the ones on the app are the workouts we are able to film! Hope this helps!
