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.
