Great Players Like Pennetta Never Give Up!

by Head Coach

http://www.tennismindcamp.com/images/flavia_pennetta.jpgHey guys,

The LA Women’s Tennis Championship was amazing, wasn’t it? There was some amazing tennis being played!

There were tie-breakers, match points saved, break points saved, ball crunching serves, and wonderful fans all over. It was quite amazing, and I had a lot of fun.

Now if you watched it (…I know you did b/c we just talked about immersing yourself in the sport and watching professional competition just last week :wink: ), you should have picked up some very valuable tips. I sure did.

There was strategy being used from everywhere you could imagine: on the serve, the return, behind the baseline, at the net, and even in the chairs during change overs.

But, you know what the funny part was, with all that great stuff happening, what stuck with me the most didn’t happen while the players were on the court.

Confidence is one of those things you MUST have if you want to win. Deep down inside, you MUST feel that you can take on any opponent at any given time. Oh yes, I said *ANY* opponent, and I mean it :) .

A player who is not confident in himself has a high probability of losing the match even before the first ball is hit. So how do obtain this feeling? Well, confidence is generated by your complete mastery of your technique. This means practice and more practice. Aren’t you excited? Before you ask… Nope, there are no shortcuts.

You have to master…

single match.
