Felt out of breath in the first game.
Felt nervous.
My movement had no rhythm. |
Breath deeply.
Relax the muscles |
- Take slow deep breaths in between points.
- Walk slowly into the Service box and pause before hitting the ball.
|
The Referee decisions kept playing on my mind. |
Focus on the task, eg length, game plan.
Block the referee out of your mind. |
- Concentrate on the process, the things you can control, eg the strokes and movement, getting to the T, tight length, etc.
|
I was so frustrated I could scream when my opponent got my drop shots back. |
Concentrate on the game and the basics of the 10 fundamentals |
Ask yourself:
- Are the drops being played at the right time.
- Is my game repetitive and lacking variety.
