    Ace Your Nerves: Match-Day Tools for Young Athletes and Tennis Parents

    Does your child play confidently in practice but become nervous, tense, or discouraged during competition? In this episode of Game, Set, Match, mental performance coach and former professional table tennis player Dora Kurimay shares practical tools to help young athletes manage match-day nerves, recover after mistakes, and compete with greater confidence. Recorded as a webinar with Gotta Tennis and moderated by Andras Putyera, this conversation also explores how parents can support their child before, during, and after a match without adding pressure. 🎾 You’ll learn how to: • Build a simple pre-match routine. • Refocus between points with one breath, one physical reset, and one phrase. • Bounce back after mistakes and stay present. • Manage your own sideline stress as a parent. • Start supportive post-match conversations that encourage learning and connection. Mental preparation doesn’t mean eliminating nerves. It means knowing what to do when they show up. These strategies are designed for tennis families, but athletes, parents, and coaches across sports can apply them. 🎾 Download the FREE Match-Day Guide: Ace Your Nerves Parent & Coach Takeaway 📅 Have questions about your child’s mental game?
