The biggest opponent you will face in tennis is yourself.
Please remember that and never take your mind game for granted.
Learn to get out of your own way, so that you can discover your true authentic style of play, I mean one that comes naturally to you.
So be aware that you have to get out of your own way and let your true style of play show.
I mean total self-expression here.
“Tennis is about self-discovery and then self-expression, when tennis players get to this state of mind, they find that it’s easier to play their best tennis.”
This requires commitment, meditation, and concentration.
Through the power of concentration, you can become any player you want to become.
That is why I am writing this article for you today.
Every tennis player has 2 I’s.
But most players focus on the guilty self, instead of correcting their thoughts and letting the secret player out.
All tennis players have this “secret player” within them, but they don’t know how to let that player come out and shine on the court.
“See your mind as a river and never allow large rocks to block the flow, so you can keep your mind flowing daily.”
Many junior players do not work hard enough on their mental game and struggle in matches.
So, be aware of your thoughts and capture them, then correct them on and off the court.
Focus on moving your mind forward and maintaining your presence.
You will have to observe yourself closely every day like a hawk and protect your mind from reliving past failures and setbacks.
Play yourself in the moment, playing each point as hard as you can and as smart as you can.
Play each game with true intentions and watch each set and practice, as if it were the last on the court.
Because guess what my friend.
One day will be!
Imagine if for the next 2 months you went to practice like it was the last of your career.
How would you play that day?
I bet you would play as hard as you could and would be in the moment and having fun throughout the entire practice.
Well, if you want to reach your tennis goals and your full potential, step aside and let your real tennis come out.
In summary.
The only person who can stop you from winning is YOU!
