Recovery for the Tennis Player, Part 1
ITF Coaching & Sport Science Review, Vol.25, p.4

Abstract
Alfie Smith has just finished his seventh relatively intense on court training session in four days. During the session he found his concentration levels wavering and his legs feeling heavy and hitting arm tired. While recognizing he wasn't getting the most out the session, he continued diligently, determined to finish the session. He was beat and couldn't wait to get off the court! The above vignette illustrates a common training scenario: a player sacrificing training quality for training quantity. Alfie was going through the motions. Was he training smart? The answer is probably a rather large NO.
