    What if the biggest opponent you face on the tennis court isn't standing across the net, but living inside your head?

    HOW TO HANDLE PRESSURE IN TENNIS WITH DR ELLEN REED

    In this episode of Between the Points, Dr Ellen Reed, a renowned High-Performance Coach and best-selling author, discusses the mental workout, designed by her mentor and colleague Dr. Jason Selk. The mental workout is an actionable approach that takes 2-3 minutes daily and allows us to be abnormal on the tennis court and handle the pressure situation like a champion. Here's way that the Mental Workout can help. Handling Pressure Situations: Mental toughness allows players to stay composed during crucial points in a match, such as tiebreaks or break points. Techniques like deep breathing, visualization, and focusing on the next point can help maintain composure. Overcoming Adversity: Players need to stay resilient when facing setbacks, whether it's losing a few games in a row, dealing with bad weather, or coming back from an injury. Mentally tough athletes can maintain confidence and adjust their strategies despite these challenges​ Focus and Emotional Control: Maintaining focus and controlling emotions are essential. Players often practice mindfulness techniques, such as mindful breathing and body scans, to stay present and reduce anxiety. Positive self-talk and reframing negative thoughts are also effective strategies Check out more of Dr. Ellen Reed https://www.instagram.com/drellenreed/ https://linktr.ee/drellenreed More from me INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/greg.kusnierz/ WEBSITE https://betweenthepoints.com/  YOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/@greg.kusnierz
