Summer is always a time to disconnect and enjoy your free time. From family outings to disconnecting with your favourite sport, these are some of the moments that make summer a much-anticipated time. That’s why wanting to maintain a rhythm and get back to training can be a difficult task when school starts up again.

From our tennis and padel experts, we give you some recommendations so that this back-to-school season does not take away your desire to train.

1. Realistic Goals: Back to school comes with homework that can take time away from your afternoon, therefore, it is important to establish achievable goals in small periods of time. This will allow you to adjust your workouts as the school terms progresses and avoid frustration.

2. Cross-Training: Tennis and padel are sports that compliment each other alongside other activities, such as physical training, technical activities and exercises in agility. You may want to dedicate a day to each of these and, depending on the time you dedicate to each and the free time you have, choose the one that suits you best.

3. Take part in tournaments: The year is accompanied by several tournaments, so signing up for tournaments helps you to commit to your training. Moreover, partaking in one further helps you to stay motivated and close to players in the same situation.

4. Weekends: These days are great allies because you can take advantage of them to spend more time training and meet up with friends for friendly matches. Don’t forget that with the return to school, better temperatures will come around and the training schedule is longer.

5. Join a training programme: Another idea for you to maintain your routine and improve is to join an academy. This will help you to commit and feel supported throughout the process, as well as being able to count on the supervision and coaching of expert trainers.

At Ferrero Academy we have a wide range of national and international educational opportunities for tennis and padel players who are in the competitive programme and are 12 years or older. This helps to complement your studies and keep up your training. In addition, our teachers are available 24 hours of the day, offering a personalised service and adapted classes.
