Accept, let go and play!
The best way for a tennis player to handle stress and bad days is to accept this feeling, accept that you are human, adopt a realistic perspective about it, because is impossible to be 100% sharp everyday of the year. And let go of emotions, feel the emotions, they are all part of it, you will always have emotion, accept it and let go of control, just let it be and keep going. Keep in mind that at the end of the day tennis is just a game, it matters but not that much.

Purpose of routines, Careers cut short because of broken minds.
With the structure of this sport is really easy to fall into a result-oriented way of thinking and that could hurt the self-esteem and mental health of a player causing depression, anxiety, losing motivation, etc. This is one reason why is so important to take care of your mind if you want to have a long term and healthy career.

Things I learned in my first year coaching at a collegiate level. Tennis Wimbledon Gallery Vintage Store
I have seen and lived closely how stressful can be playing on the ITF circuit, week after week trying to get through every filter with the primary goal of breaking into the top 100. And to be honest, being a student athlete has some similarity to it in some aspects, just with a lot more material benefits and human resources behind the athletes, which yes for sure it can help to ease some pressure off their shoulders, definitely. But student-athletes also have a lot in their plates to take care of, and what I’ve learned this past season is that managing time and guiding people is way more important than teaching the athlete a new skill on the court. It takes patience, empathy and compassion to help players get through their own challenges. Despite having a rough first season, I kind of grateful because it taught me what should be done and what shouldn’t, so I’m excited to face a new season with that experience in my pocket.

Wimbledon ban on russian players, the ATP/WTA stripping ranking points, is it a good solution?; "Why did you quit tennis?"; Coach duties; Club matches in Europe
First episode after a very long break. I am reading a part of an interesting Op-ed from MADISON WILLIAMS from SI Staff about Russian players not playing Wimbledon, I think she has a good point about the real problem here. A very serious answer to a question that always makes me reflect on my tennis career, a perspective on a what makes a good coach, what is the most important duty when it comes to help a player be better and some basic reasons why playing Interclub leagues matches in Europe is a good idea.
