On Court Training Part 1:
Cone Drills
This month we present our second installment of the training program developed by leading sports scientist, coaching educator, and tennis performance trainer, Dr. Mark Kovacs.
Last month we presented an entirely new Dynamic Warm Up. (Click Here.) This month Mark shows us a series of cone drills to use as part of an overall program to develop speed, agility, and power.
Based on the latest research in the field, this series shows players at any level how they can develop world class fitness through exercises done entirely on the tennis court, using a few cones, rubber tubes and tennis balls. It's simple and practical for players at all levels, as well as perfect for competitive players when traveling.
We've wanted to work with Mark for quite a while now and are extremely glad to have the opportunity to present his unique training perspective!
