Tennis Frustration on the court. |
“When
you lose a couple of times, it makes you realize how difficult it is to win.”
Steffi Graf.
It happened with all the players when they up and
down during the match, meaning they are playing badly or they are winning.
Fight- you may not be playing well, however you can control how well you compete.
Everyone has frustration problems with anything they take seriously. But the
main thing you can do is when you hit a bad shot or a double fault, whatever,
you have to have a really short memory and just put it out of your head. All of
the good pros learn to manage their anger, disappointment and frustration.
Here are some tips from me what to do when you are
playing so badly on during the match:
-It is OK that does not mean that you are going to
lose the match.
-You have to be more focus on watching the ball hit
your strings.

Flavia Penetta of Italy shows her frustration. |
-Move, as long as the ball is in play.
-Keep your feet moving all the time.
-Slow down, take your time and go to your towel
between points.
-Relax, take deep breathes, keep your head in the
match and play one point at a time.
-Do not think about the score, just play point;
between points and change-over visualize you hitting good shots.
-Believe that your hard work will pay off and don't
worry too much.
-You absolutely cannot be mentally weak when you
play a sport seriously. If you beat yourself mentally, you will never beat
anyone physically.
-Meditation before you play, yoga, do your own
routines, can help you. But your main problem is focus if you are getting
angry at yourself.
