As a competitive tennis player.
The first thing you need to understand is that... you aren't really playing tennis in your matches, but you are actually playing the mental game.
This is why most players get and stay in tennis slumps during their careers.
They don't know the game they are playing, and their coaches aren't teaching them this fact at all!!
So, now that you know what game you are really playing, let me show you how to learn it faster.
And remember that....any competitive tennis player can learn the mental game faster, by learning how to concentrate better during practice.
"The Champion players know that they win their matches in practice."
The key to learning the mental game faster is to focus on 1 thing at a time and never live or relive any tennis matches in your mind too many times, before you play them.
Here is what I mean.
What's 2+2?
See how you didn't even have to think before you answered that question?
This is the mental level you are trying to reach with your mental game.
Most tennis players tend to play in the past or in the future, instead of in the presence moment on the court.
This prevents them from performing at their best during competition.
To learn the mental game faster, be more aware of where your mind is at when you are on court.
Watch your thoughts and observe your reactions during a match, the minute you find yourself thinking about a mistake or error, quickly bring yourself back to the present moment, by breathing deeply and then focus on the next point.
"Your goal is to rewire your brain through constant mental repetitions."
This is where you want to go with your mental game and this is how you can get there and get there fast.
Let Go of All The Negativity You Are Hanging On To Now.
You are carrying around a lot of mental baggage right now, and it is preventing you from mentally breaking through.
Remove the mental blocks today, this can be done through deep warrior meditation.
When you are in deep warrior meditation, all your problems and your answers are revealed to you in silence, but your job is to be honest with your self and let them go.
Play in the Ideal.
Tennis players will follow their ideals, so if you are not where you mentally want to be, take a hard look at your ideal and see if it is congruent with the player that you want to become in the near future.
Then if it isn't, create a new one that is and play in that one, until you can do it for real on court.
Those 2 tips can help you learn and then master playing the mental game in months.
Remember this.
You Are Not Playing Tennis, You Are Actually Playing the Mental Game.
We already talked about this one.
Many juniors don't do this and that is why they struggle for their whole careers.
That is why, I focus on helping them to learn how to play the mental game faster, because the quicker they learn how to play it, the faster they will start winning more matches.
Work on your mental game, twice as much as you work on your match play game.
This is by far the fastest way to learn it.
Imagine what it would feel like... to be able to play every match at your MENTAL best?
Well, it can be done.
Try out these 3 tips and focus all your energy on them and when you are working on them, never get frustrated when learning the mental game.
Just trust the process !!
And I can promise you this...
You are going to love the results that you get from doing it.
