The biggest opponent you are going to 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 you can discover your true authentic playstyle, that is, one that comes naturally to you.
So realize that you have to get out of your own way and let your true play style come through.
I mean total self-expression here.
“Tennis is all about self-discovery and then self-expression. When tennis players get to this state of mind, they find 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.
That is why I am writing this article for you today.
Every tennis player has 2 selves.
But most players focus on their own foul, instead of correcting their thoughts and letting the secret player out.
All tennis players have this “secret player” inside of them, but they don’t know how to let that player out and shine on the court.
“See your mind as a river and never allow big rocks to block the flow, so you can keep your mind flowing daily.”
Many youth players do not work 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 mentally moving forward and maintaining presence.
You will need to watch yourself closely every day like a hawk and guard your mind from reliving past failures and setbacks.
Play 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 your last on the court.
Because guess what friend.
One day will be!
Imagine if for the next 2 months you were to practice as if it were the last of your career?
How would you play that day?
I bet you would play as hard as you could and be in the moment and enjoying all the practice.
Well, if you want to achieve your tennis goals and your full potential, step aside and let your true tennis come out.
In summary.
The only person who can stop you from winning is YOU!
