Proper nutrition is one of the most important components of a competitive tennis player. An athlete cannot achieve his or her full potential at any sport without fully understanding how their body works and what is needed in order to sustain the energy and prevent exhaustion, dehydration and cramping during athletic competition. Remember … it’s always the fittest athlete that comes first to the finish line.
