HOLIDAY SURVIVAL GUIDE PACKAGE and MEAL PREP SERVICE
2 NEW OFFERING AT PRSC!!!
But first some before and after photos and few words from Brooke.
The day I walked into Paso Robles Sports Club and was introduced to Keri, was the day my life changed forever. I started working with Keri about a year ago, in that year she has guided and supported me through my weight loss journey. I have lost 95 lbs and feel amazing! I owe it all to her! She made the workouts fun, challenging, and geared to my individual body. The diet plans she provided were always easy to follow and very realistic for my busy lifestyle. The best part, her constant motivating support! She is always available to answer any questions I have, and I have a lot!!! I would highly recommend her for anyone wanting to lose weight or achieve any health goals!! Did I mention she’s also my massage therapist? Keri is the best!!

Watch The Ball?
How Elite Tennis Players Focus On The Contact Point
Perhaps the most used/overused term in tennis and in all of sports is: “Watch the ball!” “Well, duh coach… how am I supposed to hit the ball if I don’t watch it?”
Well… a considerable amount of time and multiple studies reveals that elite players not only seem to follow the ball longer than other players but also possess a characteristic posture of the upper body: at impact, their head and eyes are turned in the direction of the hitting zone.
This 'fixation' of the contact zone is the trademark of elite players. If you’ve ever taken time to watch Federer or Nadal play, you’ll notice something dramatically different on how they “watch the ball”.
Federer and Nadal not only keep their eye on the ball up to the moment of impact, but after impact as well. Their head remains still and in the direction of the contact zone, long after the ball has left their racquet’s strings.
The most noteworthy finding of these studies was that elite players were able to maintain consistent control; a consistency illustrated by the best in the world, who keep their eyes on the ball on every shot with a significant fixation stage after impact. Federer and Nadal demonstrate that it is possible and even beneficial to play tennis with the eyes not always focused on the ball. So… watching the ball throughout its entire flight is not the visual strategy used by elite players. The studies confirm the notion about the possibility and benefits of focusing much more on the contact zone during the stroke stage of when the strings meet the ball.
The vast majority of photos in the study show players hitting with their eyes focused ahead of the ball at contact. Players were often seen to lift their eyes and pull their head up before the ball even reaches the racket, even professionals such as Clement is doing in the adjacent photo. They turn their head immediately as if they want to follow the beginning of the ball trajectory or the movement of their opponent. Typically not hitting the ball with the power, direction or consistency the elite players do.
So… next time you’re on the court, try this subtle change to your strokes and see if this strategy has a beneficial impact on your game. If the best of the best can afford to keep their eyes focused on the contact zone a bit longer and still have time to prepare for the next incoming shot coming back at the incredible speeds they hit the ball, we can certainly give it a try at the speeds we at the club hit it.
See Ya’ on the Court, Gary
