The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary!
Practices are physical, Tournaments are mental!
Try to understand the above phrase. A tournament mindset is totally different from that of a practice one, it's a very serious, highly focused frame of mind. Being serious comes from attitude not anger! Its about being completely in the moment not lost in self-doubt and emotional anxiety!
Keys to a greater tournament mindset
1. The ability to have a greater sense of concentration during specific moments and then being able to chill the rest of the time
2. Having the ability to flick the switch to a laser beam focus and then off the next
3. Being able to control intense emotions that come with the competitive lifestyle rather than emotionally crashing all the time.
I will blog about these 3 areas later in the month however, but remember a tournament mindset is more than just wanting to win, its about doing what is needed to win!
Look out for TennisMind.co.uk coming soon for players and coaches!
