Learning The Mental Game Faster

thomas daniels

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 same mental level you are trying to reach, with your mental game.

I'm talking......

Where it becomes automatic for you, when you are under pressure.


Tennis players tend to play in the past or in the future on the court and off the court!!!

This prevents them from playing in the moment, when it counts.

"To learn the mental game faster, be more aware of where your mind is at, at all times."

Watch your thoughts and observe your reactions during practice or a match, and the minute you find yourself thinking about a mistake or an error, quickly bring yourself back to the present moment, by breathing deeply and then focus on the next point.

Your breath is your anchor.

Your goal, is to rewire your brain through constant repetitions.

Next thing.

Let go of all negativity.

Are you carrying around any mental baggage right now?

If so.

Remove it today.

This can be done through deep warrior meditation.

When you are in deep meditation, all your problems and your answers are revealed to you in silence, but your job is, to be honest with your self and then let them go.

And last.

Play in the Ideal.

"Tennis players will always follow their ideal in matches, 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".

If it isn't, create a new one that is and play in that one, until you can do it for real, on the court.

These tips, can help you learn and then master, playing the mental game in months.

Remember this.

If you play in tournaments and compete.

You are not playing tennis, you are actually playing the mental game.

And your results will be determined by, how well you learn how to play it.

The tips in this post, are a good place to start.

Oh yeah.

Think deeply on this information and don't just read it and pass it off.

Stop being negative!!

Because, that is your main problem, you are out there playing tennis and your opponent is playing the mental game and that is why they are beating YOU.


"My mission in coaching, is to help all competitive tennis players, transform their mental games in their careers".

So, please allow me to do that.......by following my coaching philosophy here!!

Okay.

I'll talk to you guys soon.

I don't make the rules. So you can do whatever you want. I just thought it odd. That's all.

I take it you did not play Div 1 tennis??

Mental toughness and handling pressure comes from match play.

Maybe I played for the wrong school.

I have studied budo, mushin, fudoshin, Zhanshin and chi kung etc, for years here in Japan.

Do you know what those are?(Maybe not)

Please go to my blog and read my coaching philosophy.

Also, don't question me, before you read my work, because(it speaks for itself), I have created the most powerful playing concept for tennis players and I'm trying to get it to more players around the world.

So honestly, if you want to get my products please do that.

You lost me with these unrelated questions though.

Focus on the message!!


Take care.

My psychologist was telling me this.

Mind is 12% conscious and 88% unconscious (figures can vary slightly based on whats been researched).

You put in enough conscious (thinking harder than usual) effort and it eventually becomes sub conscious.

Like learning to drive. You start off, you think about where the indicator is, you really concentrate on parking, you start slow and work your speed up. Eventually, you don't think about it because you've been driving long enough. You don't need to tell yourself when to indicate, it just happens.

Some people are born with more mental toughness than others but it is something that is learn't. For me I make conscious changes and implement them in my behavior. When I'm tired I try hard by mentally forcing myself to play as if I wasn't tired. Every time I do this, it becomes easier.

When my strokes are off, I think about what I'm doing wrong and then force myself to make the changes. They might not be completely natural but they will become that way eventually.

OP great solid post, thank you. Badd Jordan, like your attitude. Tennis is a mental focus intensitive game that also requires athletic ability. If you
lack the mental focus you will loose, regardless of your athletic ability.

I get it, but, break it down more,you are saying( Do it consciously, until you are doing it unconsciously on court.)

Take care.

So you are selling "products" and yet it is not okay for people to question you to ascertain your background and where your "authority" on a particular subject come from? I take interest because I have a reasonably solid background in performance psychology and have been lucky enough to work with and alongside some of the worlds best practitioners in this field, so I am interested to understand your background.

Your defensive response is not warranted - did you expect to post on the internet and not have anyone ask you questions about what you had written.

I did read your blog, there isn't really a lot on there (at least not since 2013) so finding out about your coaching philosophy is tricky (unless you have a newer blog that I couldn't find?).

"I have created the most powerful playing concept for tennis players" - As a coach myself I would love to hear more about what makes your concept the "most powerful"?

Steve Peters has a great analogy for this - In your head you have three elements, "The Human" (the conscious thinking bit of your brain), "The Computer" (the autonomous bit) and "The Chimp" (the reptilian bit that keeps you safe from harm).

All three off them could attempt to drive you to work - The Human would get you there safely, but it would take 3 days because it would question and re-question every decision it had to make along the way. The Chimp might get you there in 3 minutes, but equally you'll probably crash along the way or veer off course and never make it. The Computer would get you there smoothly and in time, with minimal interruptions.

Our goal for performance athletes is to "store" as many of their actions as possible in The Computer and as far as possible stop The Chimp interfering with them.

As a learner you got through 4 stages:
Unconscious Incompetence (You don't know what you are doing or how to do it)
Conscious Incompetence (You know what you should be doing, but cant do it yet)
Conscious Competence (You know how to do it, but you have to really think about it)
Unconscious Competence (You can execute the skill without thinking)

I would say most recreational tennis players hover between stage 2 and 3 - moving to 4 requires not just a fair bit of practice, but practice in the "right" way - in context, with variability.

*ETA - in relation to the above, the common (traditional?) methods of tennis instruction frequently fail to address the key principles of effective skill development, treating the game like it is played in a static system rather than a dynamic one. Hence why so many players get "stuck" in the middle and never reach unconscious competence.

It bothers me when someone tells you they have the most powerful system for "insert phrase" but then get really defensive about it when questioned.

Also if this system is about mental strength getting upset and mad when questioned about credentials is anything but mental strength. More like being mental.

New age crap that won't make you play better is my guess.

It's easy to come up with catchy phrases. Here is mine.

The Spartan method. Better tennis through the tough matches. The only system that allows you to channel the inner fighter in all of us. Buy my book.

Let's put this to bed sir!!! I have been coaching the mental game for 15 years, and I have helped more than 1000 lower ranked juniors here in kansai take their mental game to the next level. So, those are the facts and that is my record!! And yes I am an expert at teaching the mental game, which should be obvious to YOU, if you knew anything about the mental game. Take care and good luck my friend!!

No,I think you need to buy my book!!! You also need to do some research on people, before you start commenting about them!! This is actually why coaching is so bad around the world.Instead of focusing all your energy on getting better, many of you are focused on discrediting other coaches.

I'm not a coach. I have a junior player son. He gets better by hitting a bunch of balls. 5 or 6 days a week. And lots of matches. I am actually your target customer. And I would never hire you. Or buy your book. The claims are outrageous.

Yes, the logic is definitely similar to the "catch/hold/absorb" poster: "And yes I am an expert at teaching the mental game, which should be obvious to YOU, if you knew anything about the mental game."

In other words, I'm too stupid to understand what he's talking about since his concepts are not obvious and therefore it's a waste of time to try and alter his teaching to tailor it to the student. The *smart* people understand what he's saying.

Great philosophy by which to sell books.

If you cannot defend your methods maybe you don't really have one. Copying and pasting stuff about the mental game you find online is not the same as understanding it.

Your 1st post is just a bunch if generic feel good words. Won't work. Maybe on lame players with mediocre skill sets. But then again telling them to make sure they tie their shoes will improve their tennis just as well as your book.

You can rail about the mental all you want. 115 in the corner is an ace.

Notice even the pros have trouble with the mental part of tennis and still get tight? Part of the game. Play more get better at it. It is simple. We don't need your stupid ideas.

Why do imbeciles think they have some secret sauce no one else has?

Maybe you should ring Djokovic. He seems to lack motivation these days. Oh wait... He already has some self help guru on his team. About the same time he started sucking he took that person on.

Tennis is simple. Not the weird pseudo mental science you are going on about. Warrior method?? Sit down.

Sure.... Your warrior staff. Lol.

You know what my kid did today? Hit slices for 30 minutes. Hit i/o and in/in forehand for 30min off slices into his body. Played 2 sets. And then served a basket of 100 balls.

Pretty sure he got better at handling the low slice to his fh and and countering slice balls with his own slice bh. No warrior method needed. The old fashioned way. By playing tennis.

I thought OP was just trolling initially, but looks like he has been coaching for a while and has also been actively peddling marketing books to other prospective coaches to set up their own independent coaching careers:
https://www.linkedin.com/today/author/thomas-daniels-05306446

OP...A few of your articles talk about aggressive marketing. That's not going to work on this forum. A few of the established coaches here do free Q&A sessions and give specific advice than just some generic warrior mentality talk. Maybe you might want to consider doing that. I liked the tip on exhaling/inhaling/exhaling again during the service toss/load/swing motion. Maybe more concise tips like that?

Also, a few videos of your own play might be your best friend. A coach here had got into a long running argumentative thread about how others were stupid to not understand him, but all he put of himself hitting was a 10 sec clip. Put some clips out there that enhance your own credibility.
