Marcel Da Cruz joins the podcast this week to talk about his work with Casper Ruud 🇳🇴
Marcel has been working with Casper for almost 10 years & he has been instrumental in helping Casper get to where he is today!
We talk:
- The upcoming grass court season
- How tennis players fitness levels compare to other athletes
- Casper's decision to take a year off
- Avoiding injuries
- Junior players working with S&C coaches
This episode is a deeper dive into strength & conditioning training, which was particularly interesting as it has been a while since we talked about it on this show 😉
Hope you enjoy it & let us know what you think!
