High Altitude in Mexico

How many times a year do you travel? How many times do you flyl with a climate change? Did you know some parts of Mexico have the ultimate high altitude? I was in Metepec, Mexico and it was hard to breathe let alone play tennis. I went there 2 weeks early so I can climatize to the weather. It was super helpful to my game. Not only did I play well, but I got more points than expected and my ranking increased by a ton here.

Playing in high altitude is extremely tough. It makes it hard to breathe, hard to poop sometimes, and a few other things. I decided to sleep more and to work out intently when necessary. I didn’t want to pass out of anything so I didn’t overwork myself. I also did the most to get used to the weather. Want to check out some of my tips?
