Think To Win Mental Toughness For Tennis Game

The author presents tools he used as a player and those he learned as a coach to improve your mental game.

Tennis is what I do, I coach high performance and top nationally ranked tennis players. I find more and more that the key for success in all levels of play is in the mind of a player. That is often neglected! As a player, I considered myself a nightmare for my opponents as I would naturally use all the tools I had to reach the goals I set to myself. Now as a coach, I put in this book all the tools I used as a player and also learned as a coach. This is a great tool and knowledge not only useful for tennis but for all sports and life in general.

From the author of Mental Toughness Training for Sports comes a collection of columns written for World Tennis magazine on playing "the mental game".

Tennis is more mentally difficult than most other sports. Because of its one-on-one nature, it feels more important than it is. Competitive matches can become highly stressful, and losing is painful. Emotions tend to get out of hand, with fears and nerves becoming difficult to control. Confidence comes and goes; the scoring system is diabolical; and everyone is at risk of choking, even the greatest players in the world. This book attacks these and other issues faced by players of all levels. Dr. Allen Fox’s solutions are logical and straightforward, and most importantly, they have been tested on court and they work.
