Mental Conditioning – by Vernice Richards
Mind/Body Awareness**
One of the keys to optimal performance is the ability to be
completely aware of your body and in control of your thoughts and feelings
in the moment. A simple exercise can give insights into how well you are
able to perform at a task that you might be faced with.
Close your eyes, take three deep breathes. What did you feel?
Use the time to examine if there is any tightness/soreness in your body,
any fear or doubt in your mind, and any quickness of breath or
restlessness. These are your indicators. You can train yourself by repeating
the exercise using the time to alter the way you are responding.
Relax the muscles, encourage yourself and keep your breath slow and
steady.
You have the ability to change any response that might hamper your
performance for the better.
Strenght and Conditioning – by Johnmark Jenkins
„STRENGHT is a vital
component of better, more
efficient movement on court.”
ETA Coach Quote – Marcos Freitas
MARCOS FREITAS
The fundamental aspect to become a high performance tennis
player is the ability to find opportunities in every obstacle along
everyday training and match. The results will come along
through perseverance and believe. Never give up!
