Courtside Podcast

Alex Cockram is this Physical Performance Manager at the Tennis Foundation. Alex's passion is to create openings and opportunities that enable all to access and play tennis no matter the physical or emotional disadvantage.  Our conversation starts in that thorny issue for us as parents. In Alex's world, it's called strength and conditioning in a parents world it's worded as; "have you done your stretches yet?!" Why is it that the slight mention of stretching at the end of a match is met with great disdain? Why is it that words such as "rest" or "fruit" are interpreted as "punishment" and "even more punishment"?  Is too much of a good thing "the sport they love" ever too much? We then move on to chatting about the fantastic work of the Tennis Foundation finding out about their mission to open tennis up to anyone and everyone.  This is a hopeful and uplifting conversation and one we know you'll enjoy.  Find out more: www.tennisfoundation.org.uk   Please don't forget to spread the word about Courtside!!
