1. She Likes Being Under Pressure

Bouchard is a tennis player, which means she’s often put in high-pressure situations. However, she tells ELLE that she doesn’t let it get to her. “I like being under all this pressure, because if I’m not, then it’s because I’m not good enough. This level of pressure comes with the territory, so I’d rather have it all than nothing. It’s what motivates me to improve everyday.

2. She Does Cardio and Strength Training

Being a tennis player, Bouchard has to stay in shape. She tells ELLE that she does a mix of cardio and strength training. “As a tennis player, I have to work on my strength and cardio. I find the game of tennis has become more physical, and players are spending more time at the gym."

3. She Makes Time For Herself

Bouchard has a busy schedule, but she always makes time for herself. She tells ELLE, “When I do have some free time, I lie on the couch and relax, physically and mentally. It’s important to take time away from tennis. When I can, I head to Montreal to visit my family. I’m not there often because I train in Florida. I miss my siblings, but it’s the sacrifice I’ve made.”

4. She Always Carries Healthy Snacks

Bouchard tells Self Magazine that she always makes time to carry healthy snacks with her. “I always have my energy bars and energy gels on hand. And bananas, definitely. All tennis players eat like five bananas a day.” “From a nutritional standpoint, not many foods measure up to the quality and quantity of nutrients packed inside a banana. A medium-sized banana provides about 105 calories with virtually no fat, cholesterol or sodium. They are an excellent source of potassium, a mineral important for regulating blood pressure, fluid balance, heart health plus good nerve and muscle function. A banana can help prevent muscle cramps after exercise. They also provide a good source of vitamins C and B6, as well as magnesium,” says the Mayo Clinic.

5. She Cooks Breakfast

Bouchard eats healthy meals. She tells Self Magazine that she likes to cook breakfast for herself. “I’m not a cooking person, so there’s not much in the fridge. On the rare occasion that I do cook, I make myself breakfast. Eggs are my go-to in the morning for some protein. Orange juice as well. You have to start your day off with that.” “Protein feeds the muscles you are trying to build from your workout routine, which in return creates a faster metabolism and helps you lose weight, according to a study published by the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism. The amino acids in the egg can help provide your body with the protein it needs to build that muscle you desire!” says our sister site Eat This, Not That!

1. She Is Discipline

“I’m very disciplined and focused; I need to be,” Genie told Elle Canada. “If I do something then I’ll commit. I don’t think I’m naturally an emotional person. When I make a mistake, I’m obviously disappointed in myself, but I can’t dwell on it. I’ve learned not to dwell on the mistake while I’m playing because that will just lead to more mistakes. It’s a vicious cycle. I can’t afford to be an emotional rollercoaster.”

2. She Spends Four Hours a Day Playing Tennis

“I spend most of my time on the tennis court. I wake up at 8,” Genie told Elle Canada. “Then I hit the tennis court for two hours working mainly on my technique. After lunch, I spend about another two hours on the tennis court.”

3. She Works Out

After she is done playing tennis she heads to the gym. “As a tennis player, I have to work on my strength and cardio. I find the game of tennis has become more physical, and players are spending more time at the gym,” she told Elle. “I love doing weights because I know I’m getting stronger and I really enjoy that part of the gym. I also spend extra time on my lower body because I have to have strong legs on the court,” she added to The New Potato about her gym workouts. “I don’t really find any workouts overrated because fads don’t get incorporated into my routine. I always stay focused and do my training and stick to what is good for me.”

4. She Eats a Lot of Protein and Carbs

Genie fuels up with protein and carbs. “My favorite meal of the day is breakfast. I could literally eat breakfast food three times a day. I love eggs benedict because it’s the perfect way to get that protein in the morning before I start my day,” she told The New Potato. “Before a big match I always have a big bowl of pasta to refuel. It’s a typical tennis player meal. I have to fill up on carbs because I burn so much energy during a match, so I need to make sure I get those carbs in and fuel up beforehand.” She also refuels her body post-match with a protein shake. “Right when I come off the court it’s hard for me to eat an entire meal right away, so it’s an easy way to get calories in during that crucial 30-45 minute window. In the hours afterwards, I try to stock up on protein and carbs.”

5. She Hydrates and Sleep

Genie also hydrates and gets enough sleep. “It’s really important to stay hydrated. I notice a big difference in my performance and with my skin. I feel better and I look better, and I find that to be important. I also think that sleep is a necessity and should be a priority. A big part of my job is to get enough hours every night to recover and do it all again the next day. Nobody wants bags under their eyes!” she told The New Potato.

Bouchard broke down her typical skincare routine to Evening Standard. She says that she uses products that protect her skin, since she spends a lot of time outside. “I typically start by using Cetaphil’s Daily Facial Cleanser and then their Daily Facial Moisturizer with SPF. I love Cetaphil because it's super gentle on my skin, while still cleansing and protecting my skin. As a professional tennis player, I spend so much time out in the sun, so I think it's really important that I keep my skin protected with Cetaphil’s moisturizer + SPF.”
