Just to give this week its full circle moment (which started with Rafa)... maybe I should reconsider coming back as an ATP trainer in my next life, thanks to this picture of...
... Roger Federer getting "back treatment"
I may be old-ish, but my mind/imagination is still young-ish (cue the porno music).
Actually, I do feel bad for Rog. He's had a pretty tough year (well for him... it would be a career year for 98.764% of the rest of the players on the tour) and for someone who has not be beset with many injuries over the course of his career, it was a bit tough to see him go out like this at the year end Masters Cup, losing 2 of his 3 round robin matches.
Here are some wider shots (I did no cropping on that first one) of Roger getting treatment. I can certainly relate as someone who has had their back (and particularly lower back) go out/seize up on him.... so I know this is no fun at all...
But still, I'm thinking this whole hands-on trainer treatment thing probably beats popping Tylenol and a heating pad.
Let's consider for a moment... Ed Z, ATP Trainer, specializing in the "whole hand" approach. Specializing in upper and lower back plus high muscle strains. Primary players include the 2009 ATP Calendar boys http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/viewlarge.html?PCODE=ATPCAL09
Possible players wishing Ed Z's services must pass several tests including interrogation from his long time partner - they must meet his eye candy approval.
Any takers? ATP? The 2009 season is just around the corner!
