FIRST AID / CPR

We all know that tennis is mostly a head game...here are some tips from our recent psychology presentation.

There are many things that can distract us and affect our performance (people watching you, worrying about winning, pressure etc.) and we can't be focused for the entire time. We need to learn to switch on and off at the right times, and how to refocus when something doesn't go our way.

Develop your own focus plan:

FEEL (react)
FIX (constructively - come back to your body ie. breathing/roll your shoulders/bounce on your toes)
FORGET (switch off moment)
FOCUS (pre-shot routine)

Focusing on the things we can control helps us feel more confident, positive and in control.

Pre-shot routine:
Readying your body
Focusing your mind (have a clear plan)
Execute the shot with a clear mind

You can develop your own pre-shot routine (think Rafa!) for both serving and returning that includes both physical and mental steps. And remember to be a good coach to yourself!
