If your goal is to improve your game, then you need to train specifically to your sport. This will guarantee to make you a better player.  Whether your training is on or off the court there are hundreds of ways you can benefit, so as promised in last weeks blog here are just a few ideas of how you can improve your game! 

Today is officially the first day of summer! Ok so it may not seem like it with the lack of sun here in the UK lately but think British strawberries and cream, tea and scones, Pimms and Lemonade and what images do you conjour up in your mind? Yes it's Wimbledon, one of the key British sporting events of the year is underway and this is a particularly special year for Wimbledon as it is the 125th Championship.

Spring is officially here! the bulbs are beginning to flower, trees are starting to green up, the weather is turning milder and easter eggs are in the shops! But, the time I have been waiting for - the clocks go forward this weekend, at last, its been a long winter. UK Summer Time (BST - British Summer Time) = GMT +1, so before you go to bed on Saturday night don't forget to put your clocks forward by an hour!

It's also going to be a great weekend for sport with The 157th Boat Race taking place on Saturday 26 March 2011 at 17:00 and the Grand Prix kicks off, albeit a couple of weeks later than scheduled, with the Australian GP on Sunday 27th March.

Plyometric training has been shown to be one of the most effective methods for improving explosive power. Mainly used by Athletes and Sportspeople to develop explosive power, speed, agility and co-ordination, this type of traning is also great for burning calories.

Rugby fans are bracing themselves as the Six Nations opens tonight with England v Wales at 19:45, so I thought it apt to focus today's blog around some Rugby training drills. There are many different ways to train and many variations of programmes available on the internet from strength to plyometric, speed and agility training, so here I have selected a couple of simple workouts that don't involve a lot of equipment.

This time of year thoughts turn to holidays and in particular the skiers among us turn to the slopes.  We have had enough snow in recent months for the slopes to be even closer to home so why travel abroad when you can take a trip to bonny Scotland.  We live in a beautiful country, why not make the most of it.

The Australian cricket community is in mourning following England’s 3:1 victory in the Ashes.  As cricket mania has swept over our Nation, the cricketers among us are now more motivated than ever before to up their game and get in training to prepare for the busy season ahead.
