Dealing With Pressure In Tennis Matches
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008
How to handle the kind of pressure when in a tournament situation, a player is 4-5 up serving, and fails to finish the match due to what we call “elbow”?
The player gets so tensed up that he or she can’t perform at the level they suppose to.
Also; when you have players that are naturally tensed up players, how you teach them to train more relaxed, and then apply that skill in a tournament setting?
The reason why the players get tense when serving for the match is because they don’t want to lose this opportunity. If they miss the chance, they will feel very bad. (that is only their opinion - in reality, there is only a probability of winning and not a guarantee)
