Famous tennis players and excess weight

Famous tennis players and excess weight

On the courts of MARINA TENNIS CLUB you can meet professional tennis players who will share their own sports experience. But rarely does anyone tell you how difficult it is even for tennis stars to lose extra pounds.

The father of one of the most famous tennis players, Andre Agassi, wrote in his book of memoirs that his son, after the famous victory at Wimbledon, significantly reduced the load, began to visit resorts more and dine in expensive restaurants. The tennis player's favorite dishes — chocolate shakes and hamburgers – led to excess weight gain. The reluctance to follow a diet and training regimen turned a fit athlete into a man with a tummy and a round face. After the wedding, he gained 11 kilograms and began to occupy 141st place in the ranking. Only turning to a professional nutritionist and following an individual diet allowed Agassi to regain his previous shape. Similar stories can be heard about other famous athletes who mistakenly believed that intense training allowed them to absorb any food in large quantities.

Serena Williams was outraged when she was banned from eating lunch in the locker room before the tournament. Competition organizers did not allow athletes to eat in the changing area to maintain hygiene. But the tennis player didn’t like it because she was used to eating large portions before and after intense workouts. It is these habits that lead to the fact that spectators see tennis players on the courts whose form is far from ideal.
