First it was the academies, now it is homeschooling. Many years ago, if a player wished to reach the highest levels of junior tennis, he/she went to one of the big academies in Florida or California. Nick Bollettieri was the catalyst for the tennis academy. In the 1980s, he put together a group of boys that ultimately became the leaders of American professional tennis: Andre Agassi, Michael Chang, Jim Courier and many others. Due to his success, everyone wanted to attend a tennis academy to get to that level.

The field of sports nutrition is filled with myths that people follow blindly. This article looks at the top sports nutrition myths, and what science has to say about them.
Myth: The more protein I eat, the better.
Truth: While protein is necessary to support increased protein oxidation during endurance training as well as muscle growth for athletes participating in strength training activities, there is insufficient evidence to support the notion that “the more I exercise, the more protein I need.” Athletes should consume between 1.2-1.8 grams per kg of body weight or 10-35% of total calories (4,7,8).
