Auggie’s Winter Tips

Auggie’s Tennis Tips during the Winter:  As you can see, I dress warmly when it is cold.  Remember, dress warmly while traveling to PRC and for your pre match warm up. Wear layers so that after your warm up, you can remove a layer. It is important to keep your muscles warm to avoid injury.
Allow extra travel time during snowy and icy conditions. Drive and walk with caution in the parking lots, especially with high piles of snow which hinder seeing children in the parking lot-or me! Wear boots or different shoes to the club and then put your sneakers on so that they don’t have salt and slush on them. Do not keep your racquet in the trunk of your car. Arrive a few minutes early and stretch or use the exercise bikes. When starting your court time, take the time to warm up your strokes, without hitting your groundstrokes and serves 100%.  Lastly, if you see me, be sure to say hi and have a ball!
