Panicking Never Wins
Posted on Dec 13, 2007 under The Mental Game |Here’s what to do instead:
1. Act more confident that ever! Your opponents love to see you panic; don’t let them.
2. Determine why your opponent is playing well. Do the shots you are presenting suit your opponent’s game? If so, adjust the game style. Is it because your opponent is grooved in a certain rhythm? If so, break the rhythm.
3. Concentrate on the three basics:
- A. Footwork
- B. Watching the ball.
- C. Keeping the ball in play.
4. Momentum can change like the wind! Be ready when it changes in your direction!
