Why you get to the ball with a lunge but are so slow back to the T
Why your feet get heavier the longer the tennis rally goes
Why you can't chase players down in the second half, even though you're not slow
Why your jump keeps dropping in the fourth quarter, even if you jump high
Half a beat slow when changing direction: speed or braking?
