You probably know the importance of staying relaxed when you hit your shots, but if you’re like most players you find it almost impossible to do. This is because there is an underlying reason why you can’t. In this video I explain what the underlying reason is and show you exercises to start to fix the problem.

Excellent tips Richard thank you
Brilliant!
Very informative,!. Many thanks
You explained my number one problem in tennis.
Great video.
Excellent instruction.
Q: One day, after playing errorless baseball seasons in center field, I looked up at a routine fly ball and as I began running, saw it jiggling wildly and only by mere luck caught it. Every ball thereafter looked the same.
On switching to tennis, I notice it as I land from split step and when running, making success against big hitters very rare. Have you ever "cured" jiggle-vision?

Hats off Awasome
New subscriber here. Your way of teaching is very good. Thank you!
Thanks, glad you found the video helpful.
Great video, so thanks. I was never blessed with good eyesight , but I am sure that she exercises let the years have stopped my vision regressing. I stand to be corrected, but it seems to make sense that we have to exercise to maintain strength in other muscles, so why not eyes?
I totally agree with your emphasis on the visual system and its influence on our nervous system, proprioception, and diaphragmatic breathing. I think it’s something that most tennis players don’t ever consider, and for no fault of their own. I would just like to point out that these exercises might not be as beneficial for someone who is say, wearing the “wrong glasses or contact prescription” or that is also patterned because of their occlusal forces, as well as their visual system. It’s impossible to separate these systems influence on each other and how they can keep us in a fight or flight response, and throw off our entire proprioception. A lot of the people you are talking about should find a postural restoration therapist on the postural restoration institute website to help them navigate these complex issues. Sorry for the mouthful. Your videos are very interesting. Improve your tennis by improving your brain!
Maybe they won't need glasses after doing these exercises?
Many thanks for the great video. Is safe to do for 10-year-old girls?
I know I get tense on my forehand.
To adjust, I quietly recite/or fill my head with a song to relax and clear my mind
Great to hear you've found something that works for you. With that said, there's a reason you clicked on the video, so it's possible that improving visual capacity could benefit your further.
That's a good point, I never thought about the fact that our vision is impaired by all-day office work and smartphone focus. However, I do actually tense up very much and cannot shake it off. And I know that it has to do with the intense pressure I put on myself to NOT foul up my hits, thereby effectively achieving what I want to avoid. I have too high expectations for my hits. Is there any mental prep training to relax about my game?
This might be why if you don't start playing at a young age, it's a lot more difficult to achieve a relaxed swing. I could see it in the people I played with.
Two things you can do. Instead of intensely focusing on not making mistakes, focus on footwork and keeping your head still during the swing. Your feet need to start moving the minute your opponent strikes the ball, starting with the split step as you already know, then never stops until you are in position to take your swing, then you think of keeping your head still through the swing. You will still make errors but if you can do these two things most of the time, the errors will be less. Eventually, you get into this habit and the errors become less and less. But tennis is a game of errors so you should never expect an error free game. The mental prep is to immediately forget the last error and switch attention to the next point as fast as you can.
This is why he's telling you to practice moving your eyes but not your head, so that you can keep your head still during your swing. If you take a peek to the other side by slightly moving your head up while you swing, that will alter your arm position by just a bit but enough to send the ball to the net.
@@tomsd8656. this is superb advice, thank you
@tomsd8656 Yes there are lots of things you can do to prepare mentally to help you relax. I've got a s few videos that talk about it.
But it's really important to address the underlying problem. Consciously, you are worried about missing the shot, but subconsciously, your brain is more concerned with survival. Not seeing optimally as you charge around the court, is scary for your "survival" brain. By improving your visual capacity it will help to control your emotions without additional effort because it lowers overall stress.
It's definitely a contributing factor. Wen players start at a young age, their visual system gets hundreds of thousands of repetitions, which the brain then adapts to. Sadly kids also spend massive amount of time on their phones. Normally more time than they spend playing tennis.
Le tennis est un sport complet qui améliore la vue Les exercices dont il est question sont bien recommandés dans tous les domaines
When we do complex visual with long breath we should try to keep our hands loose also right ?
Here is one for you, Richard. My one handed backhand is very relaxed, very precise and very strong. Federer would be proud of me (I'm actually using his very technique). But my forehand is quite tense. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad, but whatever I do, whatever my choaches suggest (3 of them in total), I just can't reach the level of relaxation I want. Well, in some way it helps - all my opponents expect my backhand to be weaker, while it's my main weapon, but improving my forehand would always be a good thing.
Any idea why the difference between backhand and forehand tension is so big?
Normally when people have big differences side to side it’s more related to coordination than vision.
Rotating through shots requires whole body coordination and there is normally an imbalance side to side.
The forehand is more complex than the backhand, and requires different timing. I notice I tense when I'm late with the swing, so think about being ready with plenty of time, then you can swing at the ball with leisure. You'll probably need to practice separate forehand timing and backhand timing, then practice switching between the two. Who said tennis was easy? Lol
how many of us started doing these exercises holding our breath 🤦♀️
It's fascinating isn't it. This is why so many players hold their breath when they play.
@@TennisHacker your reminded to breathe, with longer exhalation is so important!
Visual system is very important 🎾
Yep!
What is the frequency to do these? Once a day?
People respond differently to training. Doing them every day works well for some people, so that's a good starting point.
Hey, Tennis Hacker!
Can you or someone in the comments share
which product you are using (ball retriever/hopper) in this video?!?
Thanks!
I suffer from tensing up very much, however it has to do with fear of not hitting well. Obviously the result is that I do exactly what I want to avoid. I need to break this circle. Is there any mental prep training to help me get relaxed?
Do you stare at the ball until you hit it?
Yes, work on the drills from the video! As your eye movements improve, you'll be able to hit the ball more consistently. Which will then let you feel more confident. This will create a positive cycle.
absolutely not. I think my mind goes blank so that my eyes are open but not seeing.
@@NikosNtounas Why is it so important to stare at the ball until contact? I wonder if my theory is correct: the brain is making countless calculations on the court, and knowing exactly where the ball is 1) improves those calculations by using a more accurate input, and 2) improves the precision of future calculations by relating results to more accurate information on ball location.
A lot of the times we move our heads on the shot to early before we hit the ball
It's a common problem.
That’s me tight on my shots
does this work? anyone tried?
Meant to say eye exercises over the years sorry. Maybe I need to do more eye exercises or I am just crap at tech and typing.
I mean if one holds a racket, gets a ball and hit it the way it should be, you'll become a better player, trust me.
Breathing is my issue or rather not breathing. My view is that it has nothing to do with my eyes and reflexes. It is about the anxiety of not making the shot. The proof of this is the old adage warming up is easy; playing a competitive set is another game altogether. So when I’m knocking up I can breath (a little) and relax that tendon between deltoid and pectoral. Added to this is confidence. This grows with time. The self belief you can easily get the ball over the net…a later hit it where you want, during a game, is a great relaxant.
What I'm trying to explain in the video is that that the visual system creates an underlying subconscious threat". Consciously players perceive the stress of the match and the point, but that's only a small portion of the information that the brain has to deal with.
I highly recommend giving the exercises a try for a period of time and see if it helps. Rather than dismissing something that could potentially help.
Nonsense LMAO
Thank you for correcting me. It couldn’t possibly that there are things you don’t understand 😂
Tennis is not talking
