From the Desk of Dan Goldberg, Director of Tennis
USTA League matches are in full swing! While you might not be able to immediately fix a weak backhand or balky serve, here are a few “controllable tips” to help you win more matches this summer.
-
Warm up properly before matches. You will not be performing at peak level if you just show up cold and start to play. Try to arrive for matches 30 minutes early to get settled, do a dynamic warm up. and collect your thoughts before the match.
-
Have a low wide base and split step before your opponent hits. You’ll be in much better position, be able to react more quickly, and have better balance by always maintaining an athletic stance.
-
Prepare early and recover quickly. Club players often tend to be reactive with both their preparation and recovery. It’s important to create time to hit the ball consistently. Effective preparation and recovery footwork is an integral component of this process.
-
Move on from your mistakes. Many players tend to dwell on their errors, creating a “ snowball effect." Try to maintain positive routines regardless of whether you won or lost the previous point. Mental resilience is a big part of competing well. Good luck!

Applesauce: A Natural Alternative to Energy Gels
Training for a long run, ride, or workout? Here's a fun nutrition fact: two applesauce pouches provide nearly the same carbohydrates and calories as a typical exercise gel.
While many sports gels contain added ingredients like electrolytes and MCTs to support endurance, applesauce offers a simple, all-natural source of quick energy. It's also often gentler on the stomach and typically costs about half as much as a gel. The only downside? You'll have a little more to carry.
If you're looking for a budget-friendly way to fuel your next endurance workout, or if you simply want to add some variety, give applesauce a try. It may be the perfect fit for your next long training day!
