Push Style
How difficult or easy is it to change the style of play for someone like Nadal?
Like for example Nadal plays a pushing style of play where he wears out the opponent and then make him commit errors.
Can such a player suddenly change his style of play where he tries to score more winners rather than making his opponents commit unforced errors.As of now its okay for Nadal to play like this but over a period of years ,he could very well land with injuries which may shorten his career.So its sensible that he changes his style of play that is more attacking landing more winners in his shots
At this stage its very difficult to change style of play for Nadal. He is a defensive player and he forces opponents to make unforced errors. Its a tactic that is working for him now coz he is fit and healthy and have lots of stamina. But we already know Rafa has a problem with his legs for which he pulled out of a few tournaments in 2007-2008. So, its not gonna be easy for him to keep winning with his defensive play especially on unforgiving hard courts.
He can improve in some areas. He might just come to the nets more often in hardcourt matches to end the points quickly. But I dont think Nadal or for that matter any player can turn a complete 360 and start playing like Federer. Federer’s skill and grace is unmatched by any player in history.

This article will show personal trainers, sports coaches and fitness enthusiasts about a common shoulder flaw and discuss creative exercise to improve the it using new push up variations.
Common Shoulder Flaw – Scapular Winging
Scapular winging can be much more complicated than other common shoulder faults. Therefore it may be beyond the scope of even the most experienced trainer or coach to deal with. However, there are some cases in which a few simple, well-designed corrective exercises are all you need.
In order for you to understand how to successfully deal with a winged scapula, you must first understand what it is your dealing with.
What is a “Winged Scapula?”
A winged scapula is a shoulder condition in which the scapula (shoulder blade) sticks out at the back, particularly when performing pushing exercises like the push up.
Common symptoms of a winged scapula
- Pain and limited shoulder elevation.
A winged scapula can be caused by 1 of 2 reasons;
1. Damage to the long thoracic nerve of the shoulder
If the long thoracic nerve is damaged or bruised it can cause paralysis of the Serratus Anterior. Damage to the nerve can be caused by a contusion or blunt trauma of the shoulder, traction of the neck and can also sometimes follow a severe illness.
In this case, I would highly recommend consulting a skilled orthopedic professional before engaging in any exercise or sporting activities.
2. General weakness in the Serratus Anterior muscle.
In this case, the winging scapula can be improved with some specialized exercises designed to build strength in the weak Serratus Anterior muscle.
There are a few corrective exercises discussed below
Important note: If you’re dealing with a winging scapula and are unsure of its causative source, I recommend playing it safe and get an evaluation from a skilled professional.
As they say “it’s better to be safe than sorry”.
Corrective Exercises
There are three exercises we use to help correct and prevent scapular winging through strengthening the Serratus Anterior muscle.
During all three movements, careful attention should be paid to scapulohumeral rhythm and symmetry.
Also, effort should be made to maintain a stable pelvis and neck.
Each of these exercises achieve essentially the same thing, however, it’s important to utilize a variety of methods in order to find what is best for the specific situation or individual

Push up Plus
<a href=” http://www.t-nation.com/article/bodybuilding/everything_pushups&cr=”>Click here</a> to view videos of the above exercises
Once you have completed a standard style push up, add the “plus motion” by protracting (move shoulder blades apart) your scapula as much as possible without changing your spinal alignment. This can be difficult for some people to dis-associate their scapula from the rest of their body.
When performing the push up plus, we like the hands to be no wider than the shoulders, sometime I will even keep the hands together (thumbs touching). This allows for increased ROM and increased demand on the Serratus muscle.
Each of the above exercises should be performed for time frames of 20sec – 1 min.
Injury Prevention
In conclusion I would like to mention that even if you don’t have a flaw such as scapular winging. It important to add push up exercises like the ones shown above into your training as injury prevention. In addition, these movements can add variety and fun to almost any training program.
