Build Mental Toughness

Tennis is as much a mental game as it is physical. Staying focused, calm, and confident under pressure separates good players from great ones.

Why Mental Toughness Matters

Every match brings nerves, momentum shifts, and pressure points. With strong mental habits, you:

• Bounce back from mistakes faster
• Stay focused during long rallies
• Handle match pressure with clarity

Train Your Mind

To get mentally stronger:

• Use routines – Pre-serve and between points
• Breathe with purpose – Calm your nerves
• Reframe mistakes – Focus on solutions, not judgment

“Champions don’t avoid pressure — they thrive in it.”

Take Action

Add mental habits to your routine:

1. Write 3 affirmations before matches
2. Practice breathing between drills
3. Review how you handled pressure after each session
