Rick's Appearance on 'Talking Tennis Southen Style' Podcast 12/17/20 - Tennis Gift Guide

I joined Sam Crenshaw on the USTA Southern's "Talking Tennis: Southern Style" podcast with my tennins holiday gift guide.

Have a listen:

 

We talked about:

Magic Socks

MP Merino Wool socks 37.5, which will keep you feet always warm in 37.5°C(99.5°F).
Merino wool is the gift from nature, known for its superior thermoregulation, natural moisture-wicking and antimicrobial properties. And with the added warmth of 37.5 technology, it enhances the heat preservation and odorless function.
Even when the temperature drops, keep up the pace with Merino Wool and 37.5 technology.

The benefits of 37.5 technology:

Keep your feet warm in 37.5°C
Odorless
Fast dry
Never wash out

 

Neuro Tennis Wristbands  $269
www.neurotennis.com


Smart tennis wristbands. Two key differences make this wearable technology so different from other smart tennis devices on the market.
“One major difference is that NeuroTennis coaches you while you play,” said NeuroTennis CEO, Alain Cohen.

“Other tennis trackers just report statistics on speed, spin, and stroke counts, without much actionable information. NeuroTennis, on the other hand, provides coaching instructions that are synchronized with the rhythm of your hitting, as you play.

“The second revolutionary aspect of the technology is that it wirelessly connects the wristbands of two players across the court, in order to pinpoint the timing of audible coaching instructions, precisely when your opponent hits the ball.”

Former world No. 1 Mats Wilander was an integral part of designing NeuroTennis. “To reach the next level, I believe in modifying your game and not just measuring it,” Wilander said. “I believe that to reach your full potential, you need to train your brain just as hard as your skills and fitness.”

Features and benefits of NeuroTennis include:

Two player or solo mode - NeuroTennis is most typically used in a two-player mode, meaning that the sensors in each device communicate with each other, across the court.

NeuroTennnis App - The feature-rich app allows you to select lessons and drills from an extensive library designed by world-class coaches, including Mats Wilander. Taking it to the next level, you or your coach can easily customize content to specifically address your goals. Available for iPhone and Android.
