The common denominator of all these slow-release foods, says O'Keefe, is a generally high nutritive value with low calories. The healthy foods are exactly the ones you would expect, all that stuff your mom (and your doctor) told you to eat: lots of fresh vegetables and fruits, lean proteins like fish and legumes, and high-fiber whole grains.

What I think he should do is serve and volley. Just come in and learn to hit some low volleys and put some pressure on an opponent, because all his opponents do is float that first ball back, and he hasn't taken advantage of that huge first serve that...
