Victor Bergonzoli: WHY WASN’T I THE MOST TIRED PLAYER ON COURT? Last weekend I played a tennis match that lasted nearly 3 hours against an opponent 30 years younger than me.

When the match ended, I was obviously tired, but not nearly as tired as I expected to be after that much time on court.

It made me reflect on something that often gets overlooked: performance is not just about training. It is also about recovery, nutrition, hydration, and giving your body the tools it needs to perform consistently.

The Blog: The Science Behind “Just One More Game” in Pickleball

Author: Ildi Varhelyi
Read Time: 12 mins

The High-Value Insight: Traditional tennis clubs are not failing because people have stopped loving the game.

In fact, participation in tennis, pickleball, and padel continues to grow globally.

The problem is economic.

Many clubs are still occupying prime real estate as if it were still 1985.

To survive the next generation, clubs will likely need to become:

• Denser

• Smarter

• More diversified

• More technologically integrated

• More community-driven

The clubs that survive the land crisis will probably not be the ones that fought developers.

They may be the ones developers chose to build around.

==> 7 Best Practices for Running a Successful Public Racquet Sports Facility

At a public racquet and paddle facility, you’re competing for every player. Walk-ins, program registrants, court renters. None of them are guaranteed to come back. What keeps them is almost always traceable to a handful of decisions: who your programming is built for, how your pricing is set, and whether your operations can actually hold up under growing demand.
