I know growing up I always tried my best to eat healthy before matches, but it seemed like I never really knew the facts about nutrition. What is best to eat before a match, during a match and especially after a match? I did my best to read books and talk to other players, but it seemed like everyone had different opinions on nutrition. That is why we are so excited about the www.juniortennisshow.com interview with Page Love. Page is a registered dietician and sport nutrionist with the ATP and WTA tours. She knows exactly what players should be eating, and covers every aspect of nutrition in her interviews. We are very excited to have monthly contributions from Page and look forward to helping junior players around the world understand exactly how nutrition can help them become better players!

Welcome to the Junior Tennis blog!
The Junior Tennis Show is a video magazine designed to help competitive junior players and their parents make their junior tennis years the most positive experience of their childhood, adolescence and early adult life. Experts in the junior tennis world agree that inexperienced parents are the number one challenge for both players and coaches and the primary cause of both short and long term burn out among competitive players. Even with the best intentions, most parents have little or no experience parenting a competitive player in a sport where their child must compete alone, without the emotional support of an on-court coach or team. The junior tennis show is a collection of videotaped interviews with world class coaches, trainers, sports psychologists, experienced tennis parents, top juniors, former junior champions, USTA officials, mental toughness experts, nutritionists, ATP touring professionals, racquet company sales reps, pro shop owners, professional stringers, and a host of others intimately involved in the world of competitive junior tennis. These interviews will give players and parents the expertise necessary to make their junior tennis experience positive, fun, and a world-class catalyst for future success, both on and off the court.
