Coaches do not teach the athletes to accept the mistakes

The coaches teach athletes to accept mistakes.

False. Coaches frequently speak of this need but rarely take the time in training to teach it. This is not a teaching strategy to say to a young “you did wrong, do not worry, go ahead and focused on what you need to do.” Because the athletes are instead worried, continue to think to the mistake committed and they lose the focus on what they should do. The coaches often think: “I do not know what to tell them, they know that for me is not a problem if they make mistakes, I just want they stay focused on the next action.” Athletes do not change and do not improve by applying pre-established sentences: if you are agitated, is calm; If you are distracted, concentrated; if you’re depressed, think positively. We must instead train to react positively to the errors. In tennis, for instance,  if in a game there are 200 points, the winning goes the player who makes less mistakes than the other. In this case, it could win the game by making 90 mistakes, therefore to accept this amount of mistakes is crucial if the player want to succeed. The tennis coaches who are always ready to provide technical instructions in training as a result of one mistake, blocking the game and providing explanations, rarely behave in the same manner as a result of mental mistakes. For example, if a player at the end of one point hastens the serve timing execution he/she is never stopped to bring it back to the timing of proper execution. In other words, almost exclusively coaches train the technique or the tactique and rarely the behavioral reactions, teaching to stop those harmful and stimulating those useful in the game.

Three common mental mistakes did by golfers

Three common mistakes did by golfers

• The athletes’ skill to direct attention toward the appropriate stimuli is often taken for granted
• Being physically fit and mechanically perform own routine does not mean to be focused
• Be focused or be able to refocus on the target after one mistake it’s difficult even for experienced players

This happens because the ability to stay focused, to respond promptly to the difficulties and to be accurte and effective in carrying out the answers to these situations is one of the main golf problems.

Il mental coaching nel Tennis

 Offerta di 2 Webinars di psicologia dello sport sul Tennis

La gestione degli errori nel Tennis

 Relatore: Alberto Cei

Data: 21 ottobre, ore 19.00-20.15

Durata: 75 minuti

Programma: Questo webinar è dedicato ai tennisti che sanno quanto è dura non spaccare la racchetta dopo l’ennesimo stupido errore e che vogliono migliorare il loro self-control proprio in questi momenti.

La forza di ogni tennista consiste nel giocare al meglio delle proprie capacità.Questo è ciò che conta:

  • Giocare come sai
  • Impegnarti al massimo su ogni palla

Solo alla fine della partita farai conti e si vedrà chi ha vinto. Pensare al risultato del set o del game serve solo ad aumentare il proprio stress agonistico e a perdere più punti ancora. “Il tennis lo ha inventato il diavolo” ha detto Adriano Panatta perché ti spinge in errore, a  pensare, ad esempio, che oggi giochi proprio bene e … di colpo cominci a sbagliare; oppure che vuoi fargliela pagare al tuo avversario con quelle pallette che ti mette sempre lì … e così ti arrabbi e non ne prendi più nessuna. O ancora che vuoi tirare forte la prima, vuoi osare … e ti trovi ad avere difficoltà sulle seconde. Lo stesso ha detto la Pennetta dopo la vittoria con la Williams: “pensavo solo a correre e a buttare la palla dall’altra parte”.

Il webinar è rivolto ai tennisti, ai maestri di tennis, agli psicologi a tutti coloro che amano questo sport bellissimo e così difficile.

Partecipando si acquisiranno competenze su:

  • L’errore come parte integrante della partita
  • Accettare che vi sono momenti difficili in ogni partita
  • Conoscere se stessi: in quali situazione commetto più errori
  • Come valorizzare il momento positivo di gioco
  • Come uscire da un momento di gioco negativo
  • Strategie e tecniche psicologiche per aumentare il proprio self-control

Per corrispondere meglio alle vostre esigenze, inviate tre domande su questo tema a cui vorreste trovare una risposta durante il webinar vi risponderemo.

Riceverai una e-mail di conferma entro 24 ore.

 

La concentrazione nel tennis

Relatore: Alberto Cei

Data: 4 novembre, ore 19.00-20.15

Durata: 75 minuti

Programma: Questo webinar è dedicato ai tennisti che vogliono migliorare la loro concentrazione durante i game, riducendo i momenti di passività nel gioco e le azioni dettate solo dalla loro impulsività.

Per ogni tennista è necessario sapere riconoscere a cosa presta attenzione durante la partita. Pensa come giocare o a fare i punti? Pensa a correre e a buttare la palla dall’altra parte o pensa che il suo avversario è fortunato? Pensa che oggi è una giornata storta o ragiona, anche semplicemente ma ragiona. Tu che tennista sei?

Per essere concentrati durante gli scambi di gioco è necessario predisporsi a questo impegno durante le pause di gioco. E’ necessario possedere una routine stabile ed efficace che permetta al tennista di essere pronto nel momento del servizio o della risposta. Le pause più lunghe quando si è seduti rappresentano un altro momento importante per ridurre le tensioni mentali dannose, sostituendole con un atteggiamento che predispone al gioco. Verranno discusse le tecniche mentali che possono essere utilizzate in quei momenti per mantenere o ricostruire se necessario una condizione emotiva che valorizzi le proprie capacità di tennista.

Il webinar è rivolto ai tennisti, ai maestri di tennis, agli psicologi e a tutti coloro che amano questo sport bellissimo e così difficile.

Partecipando si acquisiranno competenze su:

  • Riconoscere a cosa si presta attenzione durante la partita
  • Coraggio, umiltà e tenacia sono abilità mentali decisive per restare concentrati sul gioco
  • Come predisporsi a essere attenti durante le pause tra i game
  • Come visualizzare le proprie azioni
  • Gli esercizi di mindfulness per restare concentrati sul presente

Per corrispondere meglio alle vostre esigenze, inviate tre domande su questo tema a cui vorreste trovare una risposta durante il webinar vi risponderemo.

In tennis is easy be bad with us

Tennis teaches me every day how easy it to play very bad for the players who are at the beginning of their professional career. These are young people, boys and girls of 18-21 years, who despite having quality of play and physical fitness cannot accept mistakes, are not confident in the court and negative about themselves. In other words, they are not tennis players accustomed to face errors and difficulties as normal and every days obstacles to overvome and above all they do not enjoy, because for them it’s an experience heavy and problematic. In my experience thing there are many more young people in the face of these difficulties choke rather than trying to master. The only way to change this situation is to start teaching to manage their emotions and thoughts in the court. At this regard, an important aspect to teach consists in the pause management (during the match but in the sessions too). Tennis players have to acquire a system allowing them to recover from the physical and mental fatigue, soon after, to get in the best mood to start a new point. This approach to the game should be practiced daily. They must know that the tennis technical and athletic component have to be trained along with the mental and that there is not a point in a game where all three are not present.

The patience is the most important skill to win

It’s well known that patience is an important mental skill, allowing to tolerate mistakes and failures. It allows, in fact, do not forget what we are able of doing and continue to use it to achieve our goals. Therefore those who do not have the patience, while refusing to accept the mistakes,they are not exempt from committing more and end up suffering more.

Parents and coaches need to practice this mindset because it allows them to maintain high motivation and belief that with the commitment and dedication to their children and athletes will compete at their best. The athletes, from their side, have to accept as written Lucio Dalla “that life is tough fight, courage and the desire to invent.”

The 10 ultimate questions to build a winning attitude

10 ultimate questions for coaches and mental coaches:

  1. How much are you convinced that beyond the technical/tactical and physical fitness, attitude is the basis to achieve great successes?

  3. How do you teach that the warm-up is not only physical but also mental?
  4. How do you teach that the attitude towards the physical and mental fatigue is crucial for improving confidence during the events?
  5. How do you teach that it’s necessary to fight moment to moment without thinking about the result?
  6. Do you stop the training because the attitude is wrong?
  7. How often do you award the attitude rather than the result?
