Building Athletes Not Just Tennis Players
Athletic Development
The Jackson-Bridge Tennis Academy places a very high focus on overall player fitness. We believe that players have to be strong, flexible, agile, quick and durable to be successful in this sport. Although all players will experience training related aches and pains fitness for injury prevention, and the right athletic development plan will keep them in the game.
JBTA Players will have fitness training 45-90 minutes daily with the following disciplines twice per week: strength training, static and dynamic stretching, on-court/off court sprint work, movement/agility, and body maintenance/physical therapy.
TENNIS TRAINING MODES
Flexibiliity
Dynamic & Static stretching utilizes the principle of ground reaction force and mass & momentum to increase the mobility of a joint(s). The goal of stretching is to prepare the body for specific tasks or activities for the individual.
Balance + Agility
Balance is both a movement skill that enhances technique and a conditioning element that can be improved. Agility training drills are designed to work all your leg and core muscles, as well as the tendons in your body.
Strength + Speed
The development of strength and speed is largely dependent on the ability of muscles to contract in the shortest amount of time, the ability to maintain that speed for as long as possible, and the reduction of energy utilization.
