Nutrition & Energy
Powering Every Point, Set, and Match
A tennis player’s main source of energy comes from the nutrition and hydration consumed daily. When energy from nutrition is in proper balance, the athlete is able to train, sleep, and think at the highest level.
Three Components of Energy
An athlete’s nutrition intake must meet the training demands of his or her sport to ensure that energy is in balance
Macronutrients
Protein, carbohydrate, and fat — the primary building blocks that provide calories and fuel every movement on the court.
Micronutrients
Vitamins and minerals that support immune function, bone health, muscle contraction, and countless metabolic processes.
Hydration
The fluids consumed through food and beverage each day — essential for temperature regulation, nutrient transport, and recovery.
How Energy Affects On-Court Performance
When energy from nutrition is in proper balance, the athlete is able to train, sleep, and think at the highest level. When energy is not in balance, an athlete may notice fatigue, constant hunger, poor sleep quality, sore muscles, a weakened immune system, and inability to increase strength or lean muscle mass — often showing up on the tennis court as slower footwork, decreased concentration, and late-match drop-offs.
Using Sports Nutrition to Impact Energy
When an athlete works with a sports dietitian to design an individualized nutrition strategy, overall energy is in balance, giving the athlete that 1% edge. Remember, when energy meets training demands, health is in order. When health is in order, optimal performance follows suit.
