Dear Tennis Player,
- Don’t insult yourself when you make mistakes and don’t root against yourself. Always support your efforts in a positive way, even when the ball goes out or you’re down.
- Don’t yell at yourself; you’ll play worse. Play joyfully, freely, and make the choices you want to make.
- Don’t criticize how others play just to imply that you understand tennis. Support your lesser friends in the Circle, let them feel your support.
- Remember that too much tension is harmful, even if you were playing in the Wimbledon final. Have fun, use humor to reduce your fears.
- After the match is over, don’t tell yourself that you are deeply disappointed and will stop playing. Accept defeats, even the ones that sting the most.
- Don’t always blame the field, the weather, bad luck. Remember that it is your mind that commands technique and tactics and not the other way around.
- Do not disrespect your opponents. Show them respect in your every behavior on the field.
- It is never others who make you wrong. It’s you who hasn’t been able to respond to a shot or hasn’t adapted to that type of play.
- Don’t make the same mistake over and over, don’t insist on a shot that doesn’t fit. When you make a mistake, do something different and change the way you play.
- Don’t play to close the point or the game as soon as possible. Take your time to build the point.
