Hydrate!


De-hydration is enemy #1 to a tennis player.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. You must stay well hydrated.
As the sun beats down on you during a long match and you feel thirsty and fatigued....be concerned about your hydration.

Thirst is a delayed response. By the time you feel thirsty, you are already slightly dehydrated. So, give that bod the water it needs, even before you think you need it.

Drink water with all meals and snacks, anything sweet or salty and in a 1:1 ratio with caffeine, alcohol and soda. Drink water before, during and after exercise.

Going to the nearest restaurant bar with your teammates after league match for a beer does not count unless you have one beer then a glass of water. 1:1 ratio.

Good hydration que? Your urine will be clear or pale in color. You are not going to flush right? Carbon Footprint Reduction....
