How do you improve your game off the courts...
Relaxation/meditation..... it's been raining on and off....great time to visit a Korean spa....you can stay as long as you like some places open 24/7.....soak, sweat, wash, scrub.....feel refreshed, relaxed....radiant..good stress relief.....you can do all the work yourself there or have someone do part of it for you....

All of those sound like good things. I jog and try to eat healthier. It does not look like a problem for you, but if I drop 5 or 10 pounds, I see a noticable improvement in my tennis game.
I've never been to a Korean spa, how are they different from a american spa?
(By the way, you posted this discussion under Professional Tennis and I moved it to General).

I like to incorporate cross training. Biking, Swimming, Basketball, Volleyball. Those are sports/Activities that use similar movements and allow for the athlete to enhance those skills without realizing that that was the goal. I have seen vast improvement in one of my students as he has incorporated specifically volleyball. Now, he did have an outstanding coach that understood the necessity of having well tuned athletes on his team, but I have seen a marked improvement in my student's on court speed. The biking and swimming are especially good as they are pretty much low impact, a welcomed break from the high impact tennis provides. Basketball is good for quickness and hand eye coordination.

you know, I actually have seen some serious benefits of P90X. It has been a little rough on my knees, and so I have to tone it down and take week off breaks, but wow, speed, agility, balance, endurance and muscle-both upper and lower. There are weights used in the program, but he tells you the amounts to lift in order to create mass or tone. It has been a great program. But to rid yourself of the boredom of the same things over and over again, yes, the others you listed are great.
