## Resource

👉 Take my 5-Day Match Ready Challenge: https://www.skool.com/senior-tennis-unpacked-8081 and be match ready as soon as you're get on the court. Richard Brice spent 17 years in chronic pain before he figured out what was driving it — and it wasn't weak muscles or tight hamstrings. It was his brain.
