In mid-July, the TennisTraveller set off for Leverkusen on several missions: the Keystone Sports College Tennis Showcase . My 16-year-old son, Tom, who plans to attend college next year, was also on board the TennisTraveller car and didn't want to miss the showcase. I was scheduled to speak on Friday afternoon in a special "parents' session," where I shared my experiences with Mia's college onboarding. And last but not least, I was eager to finally meet and speak with my partners at Keystone Sports. Unfortunately, Tom and I were only able to attend two days of the showcase, as an important league match on Saturday and a school trip on Sunday forced us to return home early. However, our wildcard winner, Silas, participated in the entire showcase from Friday to Sunday, allowing you, our readers, to experience it all firsthand. To anyone interested in a scholarship at a US college, let me say in advance: the Showcase is a fantastic event!

Like a lid on a pot – that's how perfectly our travel scout Matz fit into the padel camp with Yannik Mann at the end of June at ROBINSON SARIGERME PARK in Turkey. After our initial conversation, it was clear to me that we'd once again struck gold with our travel scout. Matz, a huge padel fan and well-traveled TennisTraveller was the ideal person ROBINSON SARIGERME PARK and the 5-day padel camp with padel expert Yannik Mann. I had hoped that our padel expert Yannik and Matz would become the "dream padel doubles team" during the week. But the fact that the chemistry with the coaching team and the other camp participants, including none other than beach volleyball Olympic champion Julius Brink, was so great off the padel courts was a real treat! The boys not only had a blast playing padel together that week, but also bonded over many other things. But now it's best if you read for yourselves how Matz experienced his padel week. Thanks Matz for your great feedback and have lots more fun on the padel and tennis courts of this universe!

Every TennisTraveller knows all too well how tense and painful their muscles can become. Tennis puts a strain on the entire body, and while there are some general areas we need to focus on to keep them stretched and flexible, each of you may have specific problem areas that are subjected to much more stress than others. After all, everyone's body is different. Therefore, it's important to be aware of these individual "problem areas," especially when preparing for tennis practice or a match. Releasing muscle tension and restoring freedom of movement is the key. Mastering these exercises will improve your tennis game and make you less prone to injury. Today, we're presenting some stretching and mobilization exercises from Australian fitness guru Nathan Martin of TennisFitness that you can incorporate into your training or match preparation. Especially important right now during the league season and intense tournaments! Forget being clumsy; be as supple as a cat!
Finally, it's "Game, set, match!" again on German tennis courts. The season is already in full swing, and your team has surely already completed their first league match day (hopefully successfully).
