Clement Golliet: “Overhead Sport and Resistance Training”

March 22, 2014

Overhead sports are more likely to develop muscular discrepancy, even more when athletes start at a young age. They will be more likely to experience bad posture and continued errors in technique, which would put them more at risk for injuries. The best way to avoid any complication is prevention, which is why technique and exercise choice are paramount in resistance training and cannot be done randomly.

Counting organizers, officials, media, and support personnel are around 150 people trying hard to make this happen.

It does not matter that you get your rating playing locally or that you had spent an insidious amount of money playing the ITF junior tour tournaments.
