The other clip is about planting positive thoughts in your head, and not saying anything negative out loud or in your head. You may have missed a serve but SAY TO YOURSELF IM GOING TO PLACE THE NEXT SERVE DOWN THE MIDDLE OF OUT WIDE...OR I MISSED THAT SHOT BUT IM GOING TO MAKE THE NEXT ONE, ETC!!!
Stay in the moment and truly have a blast, as I will be having a blast being your coach tomorrow. We will have many more competitive matches after tomorrow, so sincerely treat it like any other match. Its fun playing a rival, and especially when we are both good teams. We've worked on the little things and you'll ALL be successful doing such tomorrow.
We had a great practice today, and it was a beautiful day. Monday will be a beautiful Monday, and everyone will play and we'll stay there till the cows come home or the rooster crows.
The Perspective of Having Fun during Match Play In Order To
Overcome The Lost Point by Jack Groppel
Ed Tseng A Great Zen Tip
And hum this goofy but classic Lionel Richie song in your head, or any song, as such is a great way to start your warm-up for the match. You'll get some good energy from the music to get your feet moving to start the match. We'll stay all night long to play a point, game, set or match. Remember the 75% rule to start a match. No risky, big shots for the first two games of the match, work into a rhythm first. Let your opponent serve first and choose to receive on the sunny side of the court to begin the match.
Another two tips for calming are trying to read the words on the ball, and thinking about the next point and how your going to exploit your opponents weakness. ALWAYS THINK ABOUT THE NEXT POINT!! Be in the moment not the point that just past.
