Picture this: you’re down 6-4, 4-6, 5-6 (30-40). You’re opponent serves to your forehand, you return down the line, he runs, whips the shot cross-court. You run for the ball, ready to hit a drop shot to make the game deuce…and you SLIP and miss the ball completely. What just happened? You look at the bottom of your shoe and you’ve completely worn away the tread. Just like the tires on your car, when you’ve worn away the tread on, you’ve put yourself not only in physical danger….but most importantly, you’ve put yourself in danger of losing. Gaining purchase as you run and try to change directions has become almost comical as you slip on the court looking like an ice-skater without skates. It’s time to replace your shoes.
