Remember those days fondly, although I am 20 yrs removed now or so. People have no idea how hard it is to be a college athlete. I hate to admit it, but even graduating with a useful Bachelors degree, I have found most recruiters more interested in my college athletics background because of how well it trains young folks on discipline.
@@usergodcandy777 he's offering his insight the fuck?
@@usergodcandy777 i'm sorry your reading comprehension failed you. Good luck.
@@usergodcandy777 I don't believe you are a real human being.
@@usergodcandy777 yeah they cooking you bro
@@usergodcandy777 you have the option not to read what he says?
Holy shit good for this guy super productive and clean lifestyle learning and growing. Kudos.
Half a bagel from 6am to 1pm is crazy
Cardio on an empty stomach>>>>>
He's a skinnier build for sure tho and training empty seems great in the morning
I was waiting for him to put in a second bagel and I was shocked 😂
That cup of milk can be filling for quite some time though, you might get a feeling of hunger but it won't last long
Probably this was a lighter practice. For match play, you need to carb up for sure. I love biking on an empty stomach but tennis I eat a feast for 😂
really cool insight into the life of a college tennis player. also loved the chill music
Thank you 😊
Nice video! For me rather emotional given I’ve had many battles at the “UNF nest” on those very courts. Played my last college match there against UNF!All the best with your tennis and life after!
I did a UNF tennis camp this summer and met some of the girls team. It was super cool. Great video!
Great Video man i've been looking all over youtube for one like this keep going!
Thank you 😊. Glad I could help!
I love these kind of videos please keep doing them!!
Been searching for a in dept vid like this for a while .Love the vid
Thank you 😊
ALL THE BEST DUDE , WISHING YOU THE BEST , WORK HARD!
Thank you 😊
thank you for posting this!
This seems like such a vibe. I just started playing tennis for my school a month ago and I'm in freshman year so it seems like a nice environment. The sport is very competitive but apparently I'm pretty good for a beginner so I hope I can make it to the big leagues.
good luck!
Best life ever. You should be really thankful if you can live a life like this
“Back in my day !”I had my sectional/national ranking and could have started mid spot on D1-2. I decided to play on a nationally ranked JUCO and then get play D1. That dream came to a halt once diagnosed w MS. Cheers on the video brother-man
This is really hard work. Good luck!
Thank you!
Very similar day for us, player at new mexico state d1 tennis. The only difference is that we have school in the morning and then athletic in the afternoon.
This is an awesome video man
Enjoyed this ! Keep it up
Glad you enjoyed it!
My day is nearly the complete reverse of yours lol
love seeing one handed backhands
damn this shows the difference between d3 and d1 tennis. I got recruited at some d1 schools but chose to go to a top academics d3 school and at recruiting was a high 10 low 11 utr range. The training is so less intense for tennis, academics is at the d3 school is just depression i'm ngl
great video, great taste in music. keep going
I just loved this video dud!
Thank you 😊
What a busy day!
Miss those days already!
Cherish these days, man. They go by fast. I sure miss my student athlete days.
That was kind of cool. Big college tennis fan here in Louisville KY. Go Cards!
he can do anything if he keeps on doing this. Fingers crossed!
Bruh that alarm ring at the beginning actually made my heart drop to my stomach for a second
😅
Hahahahahahaha, that looks tough. I played D1 during the late seventies-early eighties, it was nowhere this intense. Keep it up young man!
Thanks, will do!
I really hope I can make it D1 one day. I just graduated a 7.5utr and have 2 more years until I might play at a university. Any tips would be super helpful! I play for nearly 5 hours a day except for Sunday but I just don’t feel like I have what it takes right now. The sport is so competitive but I love it.
You can do it! Enjoy the process. 5 hours a day is a lot. Don’t overplay 😊
You can do it. D1 has a very large spectrum from top of the line schools to the smaller D1 conferences like the one I played in (America East 20 yrs ago).
Don't just practice *hitting* the ball, but also play as many practice sets/tiebreaks as you can. Nothing can replace match play and the stress it provides (stress is good).
Also- become a student of the game, not just a practice player. What I mean by that is, don't just look good hitting the ball, but understand why you hit the shots you hit. Like in chess, play 2-3 shots ahead in every point. As you get really good at this, you'll see the game start coming to you a lot easier.
good video bro, luck on your journey
Thank you!
The dream lifestyle
Interesting video mate. 2 questions: did you hit every day? When/If you got tennis elbow how did you rehab it?
Almost. In season, after matches, we typically had a day off. In the fall we had at least one day off a week. I've never had a tennis elbow.
great one-hander
Super cool video! Just curious, during the offseason do you ever switch to multiple hits a day outside of just the morning sessions?
Yes I do! It really depends on my tournament schedule during the off-season.
Loved that Berlin flag. Good luck man
Thanks for the video. It seems like you hit your forehand a little bit late but what do I know! Maybe, its the modern forehand style and im from old school 😂
That is true. I need to work on that!
yeah pass for me. God damn i would lose my mind.
What’s your weekly strength and conditioning routine please, maybe you could do an s&c video?
In season we have two weekly one-hour S&C sessions. In the off-season, we have three one-hour S&C sessions. Our S&C coach provides us with exercises for four weeks, in which we increase and decrease weight and reps. The exercises cover the whole body (arms, legs, back, abs, etc.)
I hope that helps you.
you must be the only college player with one handed backhand
Wating for your next video
Bro is literally me, one handed backhand, tall, long blonde hair, only your a lot better than me at tennis
Hello! Great Video, thanks for posting. How much do you pay for that good looking lunch?
Thank you! A lunch is usually around $10.
Hey man im a student in highschool and although i dont plan on playing in college at all (tennis is more of a side fun thing for me) i stay very active and just wanted to know how you eat enough calories. Like is there any recipes you suggest or something because i try and eat very lean to keep a lean body but I struggle to get enough calories, is there anything you recommend?
I struggle to eat a lot of calories, too. Unfortunatley, I do not have any advice for you. If you have one, feel free to reply!
do you ever do night practices as well
No, we don’t. But other teams do!
dang bro. do you have any advice on how to improve the most before getting recruited. Im trying to become around an 11 by the start of my freshman year. How would you go about it?
Hey,
I’d recommend you to establish a consistent schedule with tennis, weights, conditioning, and tournaments. Just give 💯 each practice and try to be better than the day before. And, believe that you can do it!
Good luck 🍀
@@UServe-College-Tennis Thanks!!! I wish you luck with your college career and your youtube channel!
What racket are u using (I use a babolat pure aero rafa btw if u have any thoughts on it) ? Also do u have any tips for me as a intermediate junior that wants to play college tennis one day and is trying to get better?
In the video, I am using the Wilson Blade 18x20 V8. I have never hit more than 5 minutes with a Babolat racket, so I don't really have an opinion. However, as long as you feel comfortable, it is a great choice. The two most important things to improve your game, in my opinion, are consistency, and focusing on the process instead of being results-driven. Good luck!
@@UServe-College-Tennis thanks! ❤
6:21 is that The Blacklist on Netflix? A man of good taste
Indeed!
Hi. How much do you make doing this?
the way they hit the ball is totally different from 30 years ago...i like the form of the old player better,,,i guess that new way is cuz of the racquets
curious because it looked sweet, what did you make for dinner lol
Stuffed Bell Peppers 🫑
bro had 1 durn class the whole day
6pm dinner yet your oven clock showing 4:34pm
Forgot to change the clock after daylight-saving 🤦♂
hey i’m going to play college tennis this upcoming year and any advice for college tennis freshman?
Work hard on the court and in the classroom and enjoy it. Good luck!
@@UServe-College-Tennis goated advice LOL simple and true
Is the men’s or women’s tennis
good life
What college is this lol cause practice in the daylight is a plus. It’s 5 am be on court and warm over here lol
University of North Florida
Is that a Berlin flag in the bathroom ? Nice to see that there are still young player with a one-handed backhand 👍
My daughter runs D1 for Creighton University. 2 to 3 times a week they run at 5 am. That means that she gets up at 4, as they have to have a mile in and their stretching done before practice begins. They generally also have weight training in the evening. It is a real school academically, and their mens and women's Cross Country teams had the highest cumulative GPA in the country. In D1, you must also work on your homework in the study lounge, under the supervision of professional tutor teachers, eight hours a week. At some schools the profs are told to let the athletes slide by, but at real universities, this isn't allowed.
my daughter eats playdough
If it’s accredited, it’s “real.” Bet she won’t make pro regardless
Lokks a bit like Nalbandian in the thumbnail
ok
Do they help and spend on u to go pro
Some coaches send their players to Futures during the Fall but they are not allowed to help you financially just to go pro.
my dream )
1:28 to 2:12 What an atrocious kem trayled sky. It's time to wake up, people.
what kind of spread do you put on your bagel?
It differs. Usually Nutella or cream cheese.
@@UServe-College-Tennis Nutella or cream cheese?? add some protein bro! 😆
Der Bruder ist Berliner ❤️
Single hand bh 🔥
Did player used luxilion element string for his Blade?
I use the Luxilon element rough in 1.30mm 😊
@@UServe-College-Tennis im useing regular element i think element is a perfect match for blade :) does rough is much difrent than regular element ?
I’ve never tested the normal element. I think the rough version adds a little bit more spin to the ball but I could be wrong.
You’re right, the Element series is great for the blade. 😊
How is the pizza in north florida?
So and so 😂
I lowkey practiced with Korean Middle schoolers when I was playing national for my school.
Korean middle schoolers hit as well as this guy at that young age
Yes you’re right, except for me it was Indian middle schoolers
for me it was playdough eating middle schoolers
It doesnt look like you are eating enough or i just don't know... Either way nice video.
I always have snacks with me during practice. Half a bagel is not enough. That is true 😅
@@UServe-College-Tennis Good to hear it, haha ^^
How tall are you? You look like you're close to 200cm
6“3 / 192cm
who is the player? is this dvision 1 tennis?
Yes, this is D1
der bre ist aus berlin
Not much tennis going on ..
D1 ain’t north Florida. Maybe fsu uf ucf. It’s d2 hahah
please get a computer stand and a keyboard!!! Your posture is suffering on that tiny screen so far down.
Eats like a child for breakfast....
He seems like a sort of unhappy person. I don't think he smiled once the whole video. Backhand looks a bit wonky.
Usually I am a happy person making really bad jokes. 😅
No class?
Need to start eating fatty red meat mate
After tennis is over he will be working in Home Depot....watch
Starting your day with half a bagel and 200mg of caffeine is terrible. Should be consuming an absolutely massive breakfast. If ur a slave to caffeine have that an hour after the gigantic breakfast. Gonna look like a concentration camp survivor in about 8 months.
technique doesnt look good.
Technique looks solid you don’t play tennis 😂😂
People still stretching? lol. Waste of time.
L school
so fake
pretentious
