Hey hey, this is Shaun with the GoTennis Podcast powered by Signature Tennis.

Today's tennis tip comes from Ben Hestley of Bull Shark Sports.

Have a listen and let us know what you think.

Hi, this is Ben Hestley from Bull Shark Sports.

Today's tip is about on ramping.

What is on ramping?

Basically on ramping is a steady progression, getting you back to where you were the season

before.

Or perhaps a little bit better than you were the season before.

But it's going to take time.

You're getting into a new season.

You don't need a boot camp.

You don't need to go out and hit five days a week if you haven't picked up a racket

in a couple months.

Set a daily plan, a weekly plan, to steadily get back in good game shape for the upcoming

season.

Don't expect to play your best match in your first match.

Give yourself some grace.

It's going to take time.

But steadily progressing over time, weeks, months throughout the season, you're going

to be a better tennis player in the long run.

So again, like any good coach says, you always want to be at your best at the end of the

season, then you do at the beginning of the season.

So think about it like this.

Consistency is key.

If you throw a bucket of water on a rock, it doesn't do anything.

But if you drop bits of water on that rock over time, it develops a hole.

That's what on-ramping is.

Steady progression to getting you better at this game.

Try that.

Hope it helps and have a great ball season.

Well, there you have it.
