TFP 180: 7 Ways to Improve Your Focus in 2021
The Tennis Files Podcast
01/06/21 • 34 min
On Episode 180 of The Tennis Files Podcast, you’ll learn 7 ways to improve your focus during your matches and practices in 2021.
I get a lot of questions from tennis players on how to stay focused when playing, which is one of the keys to success in tennis. When we lose our focus, an avalanche of mistakes can creep up in our game and matches that are going well can quickly turn around in our opponent’s favor. A myriad of problems from nerves to deviating from winning strategies, losing discipline, and negative emotions can all happen as a result of losing focus and not being able to refocus in time.
If you struggle to play your best tennis because you can’t seem to stay focused on the court, then you won’t want to miss this episode!
