The Psychological make up of Elite Athletes

Have you ever wondered what is the difference between a top class athlete and one that just doesn't manage to break through that final barrier?

Elite Athletes have....
More Confidence
Great Arousal Self-Regulation
Better Communication Abilities
More Positive Thoughts
More Determination or Commitment

They find the following concepts most useful in making their way to the top.
In no particular order...
Great Arousal Regulation
Use the abilities of Visualisation
Understand Confidence Building Mechanisms
Know how to Increase Motivation
Have a great knowlegde of Attention or Concentration exercises
Can control Self Talk to great benefit
and
They understand the importance of Mental Plans to full effect

My twelve week course covers alot of the above for on and off court scenarios and i am currently in the midst of producing a more advanced version.

I have many players of all abilities apply for mental skills training, if you want or need a consultation then feel free to contact me. enquiries@andytennis.co.uk
