Description:

Mark Kovacs is the go to guy when it comes to strength and conditioning in tennis. Mark is owner of the Kovacs Institute which offers a wide range of services from validating new technologies to offering coaching to elite athletes. This is Mark's second time on the podcast after he appeared in episode 106 where we spoke about the physical demands of tennis, coaching lateral movements and recovery during grand slams. I wanted to make this episode as applied as possible so hopefully it fits the bill. Enjoy.
