You know that I am always trying to gain the upper hand, training the mental game by reading and studying it every day.
Tennis is 90% mental!
As a mental coach, you must constantly ask yourself this question:
“How can I get my students to master how to play the mind game better?”
So you have to keep asking yourself the same question throughout your coaching career.
If you are a competitive tennis player, then you must ask yourself this:
“How can I master the mental game.”
I think it’s time to change the tour names to,
(The ATP Mental Tennis Tour or The WTA Mental Tennis Tour).
Just kidding guys.
No, but seriously.
The fact is that the best players in the world, I mean the world class players here, have LEARNED how to focus their energy on the pitch.
The reason for this is that they practice it every day.
Whereas the lower ranked players never work on their mind games in practice.
“All the best tennis players can block losses, setbacks and outside forces and stay focused on their tennis goals.”
While the other players tend to struggle and continue to struggle in their playing careers.
Which brings me to the mental advice I have for you today.
Get in harmony and align with your mental game and nothing can stop you.
“Everything is energy and the best tennis players focus their energy only on thoughts, which can and will empower them.”
I read before that 90% of all tennis players focus on their flaws and what they can’t do on the court.
That’s a big mistake, because thinking this way will always create the next problem for them in games.
Nervous energy, rather than focused energy.
Many tennis players are struggling in match play right now as I write this.
And the reason for this is simple.
they don’t have a Mental Game
ACTION TIPS
For the next week, do not have anything to do with anyone or with any thought that weakens you or drains your energy.
Fuel your focused energy by thinking only empowering thoughts and about your tennis goals and write them down 2 times a day.
First, just focus and get through that first week, do whatever you have to do to make it to 1 week.
It is very important, because you want to get out of the force field of negative energy, that you are in right now!!
And this can help you do just that.
Next week your main goal should be to stay focused on your tennis goals.
