Raducanu Looks to Unlock Athletic Potential with New Training Regimen
“I think he is going to help me just really explore how far I can go, like athletically,” Raducanu said.
“I think it’s a big strength of mine that I have nowhere near fulfilled. I think I can become one of the best athletes out there in tennis and I’m just looking forward to seeing how much I can do.
“My natural athleticism is something that I have to use. I have to hone it, I have to polish it, it’s still pretty raw and I don’t think anywhere near fully developed so he’s going to help me explore that.”
Tennis star Emma Raducanu is embarking on a new chapter in her training regimen, aiming to unlock her full athletic potential.
The US Open champion has been working closely with renowned physical trainer, [Nakamura’s last name], who has been putting Raducanu through her paces alongside her coach, Nick Cavaday at the National Tennis Centre in London.
Raducanu believes her athleticism is a powerful weapon that remains largely untapped. ” “I think it’s a big strength of mine that I have nowhere near fulfilled,” she said.
“I think I can become one of the best athletes out there in tennis and I’m just looking forward to seeing how much I can do.”
A Focus on Raw Talent
Raducanu recognizes that her natural abilities require further refinement to reach their full potential. “My natural athleticism is something that I have to use. I have to hone it, I have to polish it, it’s still pretty raw and I don’t think anywhere near fully developed so he’s going to help me explore that,” she explained.
This partnership marks a strategically focused approach to elevate Raducanu’s game. Collaborating with [Nakamura’s last name] signifies her commitment to maximizing her physical capabilities, adding another dimension to her already impressive skill set.
Preparing for a Strong Start
After spending the holidays in New Zealand, Raducanu’s sights are set on a busy start to the 2024 season. She plans to kick things off in Auckland at the end of December, followed by a potential appearance in Adelaide before taking on the Australian Open, which begins on January 12th.
Nakamura has been training with Raducanu and her coach Nick Cavaday at the National Tennis Centre in London all week.
After Christmas in New Zealand, Raducanu will start the season in Auckland at the end of December and also hopes to play in Adelaide before the Australian Open begins on 12 January.
