The first out of the three tennis tests was sectionals, last Friday-Saturday. It was scary because I've put so much work into tennis, and now my injuries almost prevented me from winning. I created a "speed limit" so that I wouldn't destroy my elbow, and never took more than three steps to a ball so that my foot will heal. Fortunately, the strategy worked for the best - I qualified for state qualifiers with a #2 seed, and didn't further injure myself too bad.
These are the last two weeks of my tennis specific training. The tennis specific training is mostly my physical therapy, but also I add in training that is not specific to my injuries. For example, the side lunge is a great exercise for tennis because it mimics side shuffling and cutting. To include it in my routine I side lunge onto my bosu ball, which works on my ankle stability as well.
