Transcripts

general sense as well being also so if
you haven't read my blog you can check
that out it's got lots of information on
breathing and the benefits of it let's
get into it the first breathing
technique we're going to go over is
called the four four six explain that to
you in a moment we're going to utilize
this breathing pattern at night just
before you go to bed it's going to help
set you up for a good night's sleep but
more importantly it's just going to
teach you how to breathe deep deeper and
breathe into what we call the belly so
belly breathing which is really
important for tennis players so you're
going to start to create this habit of
breathing at night over time you're
going to start to incorporate
on-court okay so the way it's going to
work is I'm going to breathe in for a
count of four seconds I'm going to hold
the breath for a count of four seconds
and then I'm going to breathe out for a
count of C seconds so breathing in I'm
breathing through my nasal cavity so
through my nose I'm holding the air in
for four seconds and I'm breathing out
through pursed lips so you'll see my
belly come up and come down be able to
follow through that snap to yourself I
recommend that you do start off doing
ten of these so ten set through okay I
need to build it up to 20 sets through
before you jump into bed
so the next breathing technique I'm
going to share with you is something
that I want you to do pre-match or
pre-workout so three if you before you
jump on court the practice before a
match or before a training session just
been a really highly oxygenate the body
so getting lots of air in lots of area
and also I love doing this for players
before they walk on court it's just
encouraging them to breathe deeper and
then when they're practicing or playing
a match
so we'll take a deep breath in okay you
trying to get as much in as much air out
as you can each time so that's called a
squat swing so I come up on my tippy
toes I breathe in I breathe out as I
come down so I'm going to go through and
do a couple of repetitions so you can
see how I like to perform it okay it's a
nice strong breath be real aggressively
the pregame
okay so the beauty of doing that is when
you've jumped on court it's going to
give you a real good warm-up as well so
when you're on court imaginary start to
warm up you want to start to really
exaggerate that breathing the more it's
oxygen we can get in pain the more bad
stuff we can get out the better you're
going to feel so give that a go see how
you feel so the last breathing technique
I will show you is a breathing technique
called the three three six okay so this
is something that you're going to use
during a match okay so you just play the
point okay this is going to help this
reset your body in your mind all right
so we're going to breathe in for a count
of three you're going to hold it for
three seconds and then we're going to
breathe out four count of six so
breathing in through the nose breathing
out through the mouth so you've just
finished the point
ideally what you want to do is just to
reset as you will walk away turn your
back you can take your deep breath in
most people's and I recommend you do
that one for three times between each
points particularly on the big ones so
give those three breathing techniques
ago I can guarantee you're going to get
feel amazing just from doing just some
simple breathing techniques as these we
get a lot of pro players and a lot of
young players coming through learning to
breathe better for tennis I recommend it
