Nike Training Center (NTC) - Mobile Fitness App

For fitness and tennis athletes, I found a very good smartphone app - FREE from Nike Training Center on both Android and iTunes. You can even download add-on free bonus videos from Nike Stars, such as Serena Williams!

Each workout has 10-12 different short workouts, with both video and step-by-step images to follow along.

The app even into your Nike+ account so you can track your Nike Fuel, and it also lets you play any songs or playlists you have on your phone while you workout *Not bad - worth checking out*

US Open 2013 Tickets - How to get "sold out" tickets + 10% Off

I'm not a USTA Member - How do I get tickets now?

According to USopen.org: "Individual Tickets for the 2013 US Open are on sale June 2013."

I don't want to wait until June! What can I do??

Buy a ticket from another fan!
Click Here for US Open 2013 Tickets available to purchase today!

Because if you prefer not to wait around another couple months to scramble for tickets again. Also remember if you wait until June, then everyone will be lining up to buy them too, not just USTA members...there is another, better way...

I found a website called TicketExchange by Ticketmaster. These are real tickets (held by season ticket holders or other fans). They are sold by fans, to fans, and guaranteed to be genuine by Ticketmaster. 

TicketExchange - 10% OFF Limited Time Offer - Promo Code!

Use this Promo Code: "WELCOME10" at checkout to get 10% OFF any order over $200!!


Note: The prices will vary depending on the session and quality of the seat choices, but there are almost always some available here.

Plus if you buy from TicketMaster or TicketExchange, you can always put them back on sale again if you decide you need to sell later! *I've highlighted the sessions (in yellow) that tend to sell out the quickest, so if you want those dates, I would try TicketExchange*

About USTC:

The idea behind the USTC is simple but new: to give passionate adult recreational players (NTRP level 2.0-5.0+) an inspiring, intensive, in-person opportunity to learn from a world-class faculty about all aspects of training necessary to advance to the next level (technique, movement, strategy, fitness, injury prevention, and mental conditioning)—using both on-court training and innovative and dynamic off-court techniques. What’s most unique is that each US Tennis Congress builds the curriculum around the individual needs of those who take part.

Tennis Industry Show with new tennis tools

Similar to the US Open TIA Tennis Show, we attended back in Aug 2012...at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Tysons Corner, a Tennis Show was held for the tennis industry (2/18) here in the Washington DC area.

5th Set Tennis - New Product Demo and Nutrition Trade Show

UPDATE:
Yann Auzoux has just announced a 50% off price for his new tennis invention.

At the Tennis show, he was able to offer us a sneak preview of his latest self-invented tennis tool "Sweet Spotter" that he hopes to help tennis players of all skill levels improve their tennis strokes. He is also the star and creator of Prepping Like a Pro, which we featured a few months ago.

Stay tuned, check back with us at www.FifthSet.com and www.Tennis-Bargains.com for updates and possibly a sneak preview YouTube video demo of the product when it becomes available.

Olivia Ricchi (Nutrition Strategist), Dan Riser (Physio Guru), and Yann Auzoux (Tennis Pro) have worked together on videos to athletes of all sports keep healthy, get stronger, and play better tennis.

Nette Tennis - Stylish Sports Wear for Women

A lot of female tennis friends and students of mine have complained about this for years. So many tennis skirts and pants just do not have any pockets to hold balls!!

I guess they think it does not look feminine??

The result is that they have to buy a single plastic ball holder or ask their partner to hold the extra balls. The company Nette Tennis has many different compression shorts and clothing for women to store stuff while they are exercising, jogging, playing tennis, etc. Very cool!
