Trigger Word Drill

This drill will help you apply self-talk to help you stay focused on different tasks in tennis. The goal of this exercise is to help you stay focused in the moment. Firstly, select 3 tasks in tennis. When you have done this, select a word or short phrase that describes the correct action in each. I.E. serve you may say - hit up, return of serve – stay low. You should try and use these words or phrases before the execution of a task. When you have mastered your cue word statement for each task move on and select a new statement to help you focus on a different aspect of the same task. You might want to change the task and develop new cue word statements!
Good Luck
