RULES!

Question: I am tired of losing matches because I am not warmed up ... help me please!!! How do I properly warm up for a match so I am good and ready to kick butt?Answer: I cant tell you how many people tell me at my camps that they use the first game to warm up a mentality that usually costs them match after match! They inevitably wind up losing the first game ... then find themselves in a catch-up situation. Think about it ... if you lose the first game of a match, you now have to win 100% of the remaining games while your opponent only has to win 50% of the remaining games. I dont know about you, but I dont like the odds. Here are a variety of great warm-ups that the pros and elite athletes like Cliff, Sudsy and Michelle use prior to their matches:
Im sure youre saying to yourselves...Yeah right. Who has time to do all that? If thats the case, just do a shortened version. Something is better than nothing. Remember, if you want to be competitive and even win the first game your body has to be warmed up and ready to do the job and go the distance. If youre tired of losing matches because youre not properly warmed up, try this six-step approach ... either the long or short version. Its a winning formula ... just ask the pros! |
