I've been working with the Tamil Nadu Tennis Association for the past eight months, and the fitness levels these young athletes have achieved are incredible. We use science-based assessments like the Yo-Yo test to track progress, and these scores show the grit and determination they've put in.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/d3a007ee-d5a6-481e-972b-c659b04a3877) - [Video: Let's bust a huge myth. I often see athletes avoiding carbohydrates, thinking it's healthy, but for performance, carbs are your best friend. They are the primary fuel for your muscles, essential for energy during long matches and for quick recovery between sessions.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/0abd6f4b-19b3-45b9-86de-7d336272ef05) - [Video: This is the Bulgarian Split Squat Jump, a powerful tool I use to build explosive, single-leg strength. For any sport that requires a quick first step or a powerful leap, this exercise develops the unilateral efficiency and dynamic power that makes a real difference on the field.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/17b8a1f2-3b7f-486a-b66a-b41eda87f135) - ![It's an incredible feeling to see hard work pay off.

It's a compound movement that builds lower body strength, core stability, and coordination all at once. This is a perfect example of how I program functional exercises that directly translate to better performance in any sport.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/82be1970-f2d9-40d2-b92d-e77067a6bb7e) - ![Working with the next generation of athletes at FC Madras is an amazing experience.

We do not guess. We use FMS screens, Yo-Yo tests, and 2km runs to map out your specific movement patterns and injury history. This tells us exactly where you are leaking power and what needs to change before you ever lift a heavy barbell. My approach to strength and conditioning is simple. It is about closing the gap between 'thinking you are fit' and actually being ready to perform. We cut out the fluff. No gimmicks, no wasting time on workouts that look good on Instagram but do not translate to the field or daily life. ### The Science of Performance I do not believe in punishment workouts. I believe in programming that makes sense. When I coach the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association or youth players from FC Madras, the goal is always the same: peak output and injury prevention. We track load, monitor recovery, and use explosive movements like Bulgarian Split Squat Jumps to build unilateral strength. If you are a cricketer or tennis player, those micro-movements are what give you that split-second advantage. ### Myth-Busting and Reality I spend a lot of time unlearning the bad habits athletes pick up. If you are avoiding carbs, thinking static stretching is the only way to recover, or ignoring your sleep, you are fighting a losing battle. My programs focus on the whole picture: nutrition, sleep hygiene, and mobility. We use tools like contrast showers and ice baths not because they are trendy, but because recovery is where the adaptation happens. ### Your Path to Strength Whether you are dealing with a recurring injury like ITB syndrome or looking to increase your vertical leap, the process starts with data. My sessions are designed to be challenging, transparent, and educational. You will understand the why behind every rep. If you are ready to stop guessing and start training with a clear purpose, let us get to work. ## About Arjun Basu I am Arjun, a Strength & Conditioning coach who lives for the why behind every movement.
