Psychology for Tennis Player's
Every tennis player and coach knows, or should know, that tennis psychology has an incredible effect on performance.
Furthermore, many elite players believe that optimal performance at the top tier of competition is more the right tennis psychology approach than physical.
"The whole thing is never to get negative about yourself. Sure, it's possible that the other guy you're playing is tough, and that he may have beaten you the last time you played, and okay, maybe you haven't been playing all that well yourself. But the minute you start thinking about these things you're dead. I go out to every match convinced that I'm going to win. That's all there is to it".
By Jimmy Connors - Connors former World N0: 1 Tennis Player.
