 Yeah. Okay. So, Ashley, thanks for the podcast. Really great to speak to you. I'd like to start by covering something which is not related to you necessarily, but related to tennis. The French Open is on right now. Not sure it's finished, has it? And players have been complaining about the weather and the conditions. Give me your thoughts on that. Yeah, no, it's interesting. So obviously, during these strange times, we've got a pandemic effort and, yeah, there have been lots of complaints about the French Open being held in September as opposed to May. Players complaining about the colder conditions. A few players complaining about the different tennis balls as well. And it does play a factor. It does play, you know, it's not just them whinging about them feeling cold on court, but actually the game of tennis is played quite differently in colder conditions. The balls don't bounce as high. They don't react quite so much to spin. So Rafa Nadal was one of the players that was complaining. And unlike him, he's not usually a complainer. He kind of gets on with things. He's worked hard. But, yeah, for his game in particular, he likes playing in the heat of the summer. He's really fit, obviously, so he can kind of outlast most of his opponents in those hot human conditions. He likes the ball bouncing up higher. It suits his heavy topspin game. And so with the colder conditions, it kind of levels things out slightly. He is the king of clay, as people call him. And actually, with these slightly colder conditions, it has, or it could affect the way that he plays and his dominance on the surface. And with other players as well. So, yeah, it sounds like they're whinging, but it can play a factor. So no, it's interesting. It would be interesting to see how he deals with it and how the others deal with it as well. So it becomes more of a war of attrition in the cold, is it? Yeah, I mean, in the heat, the ball bounces slightly higher. So with that, the rallies tend to last a little bit longer, which favors Nadal because he likes those long rallies. He's got the fitness to kind of withstand those. Whereas on a colder event like it is now, the ball won't be bouncing as high. So actually, the rallies become a bit shorter and it will favor players with slightly bigger serves and the more explosive games where they like to finish the point early. So in that way, it doesn't help Nadal. Okay, okay. And I didn't realize they were using different tennis balls. Yeah, so I don't know the ins and outs of it, but they've changed sponsor and tennis balls have to be manufactured with the same size, obviously, and a very similar weight. But from ball to ball and from different manufacturers, there are slightly different materials. It's a very slight change that maybe you and I wouldn't feel too much of a difference between. But when you're hitting the ball at hundreds of miles per hour with the amount of spin they're hitting, it does have more of an impact. So it's just different. And if they were to train with it for a few weeks before and all of them would be great with those tennis balls, but it's just not what they're used to. Okay, so how would you go about if you were coaching Rafa or any of the other guys on the men's or the women's tour for this event? How would you go about helping them cope with those changes and conditions? If they had time, so if the coach and the coaching team and the players knew a couple of weeks beforehand, then you would simply train in those conditions. And most of the time they are fully aware of what tournaments coming up in the weeks ahead. They'll kind of acclimatize themselves so they'll go away to that country a few weeks beforehand to train in those conditions. Most players, if they've got, let's say, Wimbledon booked in the diary, they would come over to the UK for a couple of weeks beforehand to play a couple of the smaller level tournaments to get themselves prepared for the big grand slam, which is what they're training for. If you don't have the luxury of time, it's just the case of making the player feel fully confident in their own game. It's such a psychological sport, you know, you're battling one on one or two on two if you're playing doubles. And if your player is feeling fully confident within themselves, then they're going to perform the best that they can. And it's kind of limiting the mental interference, minimizing the mental interference that happens on the match court. There's an equation, I think it's called the Galloway equation, which is your performance is equal to your potential minus any mental interference. And that's so true on the tennis court, you know, it doesn't matter how good you can play on your best day. If the day after something's going on in your head, that's subtracting from your full potential so you don't perform as well. So, you know, it's just taking that mental interference away. So if you've got somebody like Nadal, who's worried about the change in climate, he's worried about the bounce of the ball. Actually, that's a mental interference that's going to get in the way of his performance. So I'm sure, you know, Nadal, when he gets to the match court, he'll forget about all of those things, but it's just preparing your players to expect the worst and deal with it. You know, expect that the ball is going to bounce really differently to what you're used to expect, that you're going to have the windiest conditions potentially, or the sun is going to be in your eyes, whatever it may be. As long as you know what to expect when you get onto the match court, nothing's going to shock you. So is there anything specific that you would do to prepare other than just training in those conditions like you've just explained? Is there any other kind of preparation that you would take one of your clients or athletes? How have you described them through if they were going to go to that kind of event? Yeah, so a lot of hitting a lot of balls beforehand. So, you know, if you find out a couple of days before it's just getting the volume in, you know, hitting and hitting and hitting until you fill the timing and until you're used to the conditions and the equipment that you're using. But really then it's a case of sitting down and actually having an off court session and really mentally preparing the player. So, you know, talking through worst case scenarios and then building up some extra resilience. Yeah, so it's quite mental compared to, you know, a normal training session actually. If it's something that's happening the next day, you're going to have to prepare mentally as opposed to just physically, technically and tactically. Okay, great.
