Most Common Reason Why You Miss A Return Of Serve
Hi, well this is my problem: I have a good and strong drive but sometimes when I am receiving the serve my return, unexplainably, becomes too weak and goes to the net.
Why? Concentration matter?
One of the most common reasons why this happens is if you play “too careful”.
Especially if you are thinking that you “don’t want to miss”.
Although the intention may be smart – to keep the ball in play and be consistent – it is a negative intention – NOT to miss.
If “missing” is present in your mind – it will tend to guide your body towards missing.
For mind – body connection it doesn’t matter whether you are thinking of “missing” or “not missing”.
It’s the same – there is an image of missing the shot that exists in your mind and you are trying NOT to make it.
Your body responds to images in the mind, not to logical words.
So in order to hit the ball IN, you need to see that in your mind.
Be decisive and play with a positive purpose.
Will you still miss some returns?
Yes, but a lot less than if you had an image of “not missing” in your mind.
