The Blue Demons men’s tennis squad is starting up another season, and is naturally going into the year looking to come in first in the Big East. However, when talking to 10th year coach Matt Brothers he said he likes to look at the process of getting better rather than just one end goal.
“I talk to the guys a lot about something called periodization,” explains Brothers. “Which is, for us and our schedule, a week-long process.”
“What we do in our practices and leading up to our matches and then recovery afterwards and how conditioning is handled so that, at the end of the week when we need them at their best they’re there physically and mentally.
