Tennis tidbit: Attitude is everything!

Most tennis players hate to lose. The one thing that I suggest to fellow players and past students is that before you set yourself up to lose…look within. This brings me to attitude. Having a POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE (PMA) before you set foot on the tennis court is half the battle. For example, through years of tournament play and early losses, I have learned that my attitude sets the tone for the type of match play I can expect from myself.

For example, my worst enemy used to be fear, remember that fear is a natural response and a little fear can be good prior to a match. But don’t let fear affect the PMA you need on the court. My bottom line with this tennis tidbit is: PMA = WINNER!
