Simple Thoughts to PLAY and WIN by
- Play by the “RULES of the GAME”. Hit the ball Over the Net, Inside the Lines. Very simply put, you can’t play the point if it ain’t over the net inside the lines.
- You need not fight battles you cannot win. Focus on only the things you can control. Don’t let the game with yourself be harder than the game with your opponent.
- Stay in the present. Keep your mind on the task at hand.
- Project a positive powerful presence.
- Engage in POSITIVE SELF TALK.
- Maintain you rituals. The same number of bounces before the serve, fixing your strings between points.
- Play the match on your own terms. Control the pace of play.
- It is ok to be nervous, just don’t be afraid.
- Visualize it and you’ll realize it.
- Keep it simple. Keep the ball out front, move your feet, keep your eyes on the ball and good things will happen.
