So strength in those muscle groups isn't functional? It doesn't have any translation to "everyday life" movements?

I had a training session with someone that wanted "sports specific" training for competitive volleyball and tennis, but didn't want to do any of the functional things that are sports specific. The person wanted to do a lot of useless busy work to get tired and feel like she's training for her sport....I can't accept that client.

What's functional and sport-specific for volleyball and tennis?
What did she want to do in lieu of that?
