All too often a sports person will focus on their strengths alone and in some cases this is a reasonable approach but this limits your options and leaves your weaknesses open to be exploited by your opponent. Aim to eliminate your weakness or at least bring them closer to your strengths. This gives you more options and greater chances of success. Roger Federer used to have a weak backhand. He made a point of working very hard on it and now it is a potent weapon…..he has given himself more options.

A tennis player may require good short distance acceleration and deceleration, lateral movement, hip and ankle mobility, shoulder flexibility and mobility, reasonable cardiovascular fitness and a good recovery rate (amongst other fitness components) but not every tennis player will agree on how to prioritise these components and all tennis players will have varying degrees of strengths and weaknesses. Thus the Sports Persons Needs Analysis must be unique to you.
