Many players have unconventional diets, training programs, and other ways to get better that are different from the expected. Yet Iga Swiatek has found an even stranger way of warming-up: using her feet to balance sticks on cans.

While practicing with her coach, Piotr Sierzputowski, Swiatek used her foot to move a stick from one set of Red Bull cans to another. Warming-up has never looked so fun.

While Swiatek did not say what the game was meant to improve, fans can assume it helps with balance and control.
