Court Conditioning

How many days should I train on my fitness?

I believe that doing something active everyday is beneficial. There is no magic number on how many days an athlete should train. I would suggest participating in a program that will incorporate strength training and overall conditioning.

Should I take a day off?

Yes, I recommend taking a day off, but on the day off go for a casual walk around the block to keep the blood flowing and the muscles working.

What should I do if I suspect an injury?

What and see if it lingers. For the first few days I would take anti-inflammatories 3 times a day, ice, and rest. If your injury lingers please consult your doctor.

Flexibility

Why do I need to stretch?
