FG SAMARTSIDIS
A deaf tennis player, once ranked 7th in the world, writing the sport science journal he wished existed.
Sport, science, and the craft of building better athletes — training, physiology, recovery, and tennis, chapter by chapter. Kept by Grigorios Samartsidis — Greece's deaf No. 1, and a former No. 1 in Cyprus's mainstream men's tennis — hearing players included.
The Sports
01 / 04 liveTennis is the first sport this journal opens with. The others are on the calendar — drafted, but not yet in print.
Tennis
The deepest sport ever invented — 100 chapters from first bounce to final set, covering every angle of the game: science, technique, tactics, body, and mind.
Football
High-speed running, change-of-direction load, and the hidden cost of a 90-minute match.
Basketball
Vertical force, jump-landing mechanics, and the back-to-back schedule problem.
Volleyball
Repeated maximal jumps, shoulder durability, and the physics of the spike.

Movement
Biomechanics, motor control, and the architecture of efficient action.
Philosophy
What sport is for, and what we owe the people who do it.
Psychology
Attention, motivation, anxiety, and the inner conditions of performance.
Manifesting
Intention, ritual, and the practice of becoming the athlete on the page.
