We're going way back in this throwback episode. Back when I had hair :-). A little while after I moved to New Jersey, I had the opportunity to collaborate with Ian Westermann, founder of EssentialTennis.com, to create a series of videos on injury prevention and performance enhancement for tennis players.  In this podcast episode, we are going to get clinical with some tips you can use both with injury rehab and injury reduction programs, as I share the audio from three of these video segments. In my session with Ian, we review jumping and landing mechanics as a precursor to beginning plyometric training, base deceleration and change of direction skill drills as a precursor for advanced speed, and lower extremity sequence progressions that I have used in the "Performance" realm, with the purpose of injury reduction and performance enhancement. agility, and quickness drills, and complementary lower extremity strengthening exercises such as the single leg squat, single leg RDL, and mini band walking.  Essential Tennis was an idea born of enthusiasm and frustration. Ten years ago, Ian was a teaching pro, feeding balls to club players who didn't really want to work much on their games. They just wanted an instant fix. Ian, however, wanted to teach students truly motivated to improve their skills. So where did he find them? In his basement. Or, on his computer in his basement, to be more precise. The Internet is where he discovered a growing community of players who simply couldn't get enough tennis instruction. His kind of people. From the get-go, Essential Tennis has been pioneer in the digital instruction space. It adopted YouTube early on. Now it's the top tennis instruction channel with more than 102,000 subscribers. It currently offers some of the web's most comprehensive digital courses. And its distinctive teaching methodology employs a system of progressions designed to improve student play, step by step. The results are undeniable.
