- It sounds like it is more a mental thing where you are rushing or certainly not relaxed in your game. I have a few ideas so just take a look to see which seems to be the best approach.
- Is the coach putting you under pressure during the coaching session, eg recovering the ball while running towards the back wall making you move under physical pressure? If not, that needs to be introduced.
- After the lesson, how much solo practice are you doing to really grove in the new swing or whatever?
- Read the Mental skills section, and in particular look at visualisation, and mental rehearsal.
- Try to only concentrate on one thing at a time during the match, eg watch the ball, get the racket back early, hit to the front wall targets - all of these are possible as one objective really.
- Take you time between points.
- Inhale deeply and slowly between points.
- Only think about things you can control, and forget about the opponent, or Ref etc.
- Warmup well before going on court.
- Be patient and not try to win every point too early.
Is this anything like what you have been doing?
