Mental Tennis Tips

You Need to Focus To Win The Match

By Jane Forman - Contributing Coach

Hey everyone! I’m online regularly, and I do pay attention to all of your feedback. Lately, I’ve been reading about certain things that bother many of you during your matches. I know how irritating those are, so I thought that I (along with my new assistant, Beba!) would address that in this week’s video.

So many things annoy us during matches, but if you dwell on these negative thoughts, you’ve got nothing left to figure out how to win the match. You have to realize that your opponents are trying to beat you. And if they can mentally bring you down, they are one step ahead.

My advice is to rise above the things that bother you and focus all your energy on how to win the match!


As always, my goal is to give you the tips and tools you need to be the best tennis player you can be. If you have any questions about rules, strategies, or situations that happened to you on the court, please tell me about it in the comments section below and I’ll address it in a future video! Also, be sure to share my posts with your tennis friends and connect with me through the social media links in my bio at the top of this post!
