Epirus Ambassador Profile: John Lumley, Real Tennis Professional
We are very proud to introduce a new member of the Epirus Ambassador Team: John Lumley.
Here's a bit about John's background both on and off the court:
- What is your main sport?
Real Tennis - What is your proudest moment related to your primary sport?
Winning the 2018 IRTPA Championships with both of my parents there cheering me on. - What are your current goals associated with your sport?
To one day become World Champion. - Which other sports do you play?
Squash, Rackets, Doubles Squash & Golf - What are your favourite cross training activities?
Squash as well as going to the gym. - What do you do professionally?
I am a Real Tennis professional working out of the Racquet Club of Philadelphia. - How do you use your Epirus Dynamic Duffel bag?
I use it for training trips, weekend tournaments as well as day to day use. - What’s the weirdest item you keep in your racket bag?
I keep a large supply of colorful headbands that I rotate depending on what color scheme I am in the mood for that day. - Do you have any superstitions or quirks that are part of your routine?
I am a very superstitious person so I have an established routine before I play each match. I have a banana an hour before I play, always shower half an hour before, take my pre-match drinks and supplements exactly at the same time and warm up to my favorite playlist. - What's one part of your sport that you know more about than most people?
I was given the nickname “The Hare” years ago because of my speed on court and obsession with keeping my hair-do in place during my matches, so I suppose I would be qualified to give advice on both!
Follow John on Instagram and Twitter to keep tabs on his quest to become World Number One.
