Today's tennis tip comes from Ben Hestley of Bull Shark Sports.

Speaker: 00:00:14

Have a listen and let us know what you think.

Speaker: 00:00:18

Hi, this is Ben Hestley from Bull Shark Sports.

Speaker: 00:00:21

Today's tip is about on ramping.

Speaker: 00:00:24

What is on ramping?

Speaker: 00:00:26

Basically on ramping is a steady progression, getting you back to where you were the season

Speaker: 00:00:32

before.

Speaker: 00:00:33

Or perhaps a little bit better than you were the season before.

Speaker: 00:00:36

But it's going to take time.

Speaker: 00:00:37

You're getting into a new season.

Speaker: 00:00:39

You don't need a boot camp.

Speaker: 00:00:42

You don't need to go out and hit five days a week if you haven't picked up a racket

Speaker: 00:00:45

in a couple months.

Speaker: 00:00:47

Set a daily plan, a weekly plan, to steadily get back in good game shape for the upcoming

Speaker: 00:00:53

season.

Speaker: 00:00:55

Don't expect to play your best match in your first match.

Speaker: 00:00:58

Give yourself some grace.

Speaker: 00:00:59

It's going to take time.

Speaker: 00:01:01

But steadily progressing over time, weeks, months throughout the season, you're going

Speaker: 00:01:06

to be a better tennis player in the long run.

Speaker: 00:01:09

So again, like any good coach says, you always want to be at your best at the end of the

Speaker: 00:01:14

season, then you do at the beginning of the season.

Speaker: 00:01:18

So think about it like this.

Speaker: 00:01:20

Consistency is key.

Speaker: 00:01:21

If you throw a bucket of water on a rock, it doesn't do anything.

Speaker: 00:01:26

But if you drop bits of water on that rock over time, it develops a hole.

Speaker: 00:01:32

That's what on-ramping is.

Speaker: 00:01:34

Steady progression to getting you better at this game.

Speaker: 00:01:37

Try that.

Speaker: 00:01:38

Hope it helps and have a great ball season.

Speaker: 00:01:41

Well, there you have it.
