What do you think during a game? Would you betray your head? Are you unable to focus?
Well, watch this picture and try the strategy I propose
Imagine that this is a tennis court and the dark circle you, but everything that surrounds the tennis court is out of the game , so that if any of the things that set off the track comes to you to the head, your mind off the track even though your body is still there. I will explain with examples. If you think about the past (The player always wins or always win with this player, the ball of the third point from the previous game have sung me bad when I was very good, What a shame to have lost the previous set!, Etc ...), but your body is on the track your thinking is out of the game, thinking about something that has absolutely nothing to do with the tennis itself. It is also wrong to think in the future (There, I've won / lost the game; Oops! What ball easier! I'm going to stick a smash that will know, This girl is very high in the rankings and I will to crush; etc ...). The emotions can betray us because they make us do more with heart than head (cag me ... your ...., Did not want to do the ridiculous, what a mess of game I'm doing!, Etc ...). Finally, if we focus our attention to physical sensations, always find something (I have loaded legs, so warm!, I have hunger, etc ...). So the first thing to do is identify this kind of thinking can be fought and once we realize we have them, replace them with more practical thoughts of a technical or tactical. Some examples:
Examples of unproductive thoughts and replacing production:
For this strategy shift in thinking work, you must practice a lot, both in training and in matches. No easy task, but with practice you learn. The trick is to make an effort to identify unproductive thoughts, and for this I suggest that parties will write a capital "T" in the palm of each hand, to take into account the relevance of Technical and Tactical ..
