Do you work on your mental game as well as your physical and technical?
Great discussion on nerves prior to the match.
It’s refreshing that this is becoming a bigger conversation because it’s so mental! No matter what level, if you have become invested in this game your ego becomes a thing. Some are better at managing it. Expectations scream “Self 1” aka ego involvement.
Good video, I also find I play my best when there are zero expextsctions… quiet mind leads to loose body… leads to better tennis.
LOL, I just played a 3.5 tournament match yesterday and I was telling my wife how I noticed that my heart rate was elevated in the first few games and it took me a while to calm down emotionally to get into a groove of playing. I even find that I will start to get mildly anxious a full day before a match. (Your video was posted just hours after I discussed this with my wife. Coincidence? Or did my iPhone or Alexa device prompt this video? 😆) Great content. It’s actually helpful to know that pretty much all players deal with anxiety before and during their matches. Learning to “snap” out of the cycle is the trick. For me, knowing that I did my best to prepare physically helps me calm down. Also, once I see my opponent hit the net a few times or double fault always elevates my spirit. Ha! They’re human, too! 🎾
Great conversation. Fascinating!
Thank you, nice interaction with Thomas, great player, great coach, better person!!
Great content! Please more of this!
Love this video! These are the aspects that truly make a difference when you’ve got the basics down. At Bollettieri’s we spent A LOT of time on the mental side and I learned a lot from your video, tak tak (thank you in Swedish )!
Very useful post. Thanks
Great vid. Excellent player in his day.
Thanks for the video. I watched the whole video and I don't know if I missed that part. But once the negativity creeps in, how do you snap out of it???
Expectations
Very nice video! Just a bit hard to hear what's being said with the background noice.
You guys should’ve been sitting
Not many people remember Johansson, which is a shame because he was a fantastic player. It’s no easy feat to take out Marat Safin to win Australian open. You also forgot to mention he beat a another world No.1 Russian player Yevgeny Kafelnikov.
Zero expectations, you can play free . Start to find your game bit by bit ... good advice
Good video! Who is this guy with tattoos?
The background noise is very distracting...
