GET IN MATCH CONDITION
THE NUMBER 1 CHALLENGE IS TO DEVELOP THE SKILLS OF TENNIS IN THE ENVIRONMENT OF A MATCH CONDITION… TENNIS PLAYERS NEED TO PLAY WITH PURPOSE EMPHASIZING THE STRENGTHS AND MINIMIZING WEAKNESSES. THE OBJECTIVE IS TO DOMINATE USING THE STRENGTH OR SKILL THAT IS YOU’RE VERY BEST. THE EXAMPLE IS PETE SERVE, THIS IS A DOMINATE WEAPON THAT HE USES TO SET UP POINTS THAT HE PUTS AWAY AT THE NET. THE SERVE IS SO WELL PLACED AND RELIABLE THAT PLAYERS FEAR THE OUTCOME BEFORE HE EVEN HITS THE BALL. THE STRATEGY FOR PLAYERS IN THE GAME TODAY IS OFFENCE, OFFENCE, OFFENCE WITH WHAT EVER SHOT THAT PRESENTS THEM WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO SCORE. MOST PLAYERS NEVER PLAY PRACTICE MATCHES AGAINST PLAYERS OF LOWER SKILL JUST TO PRACTICE UNDER THE MATCH CONDITION. THE FEAR OF LOSS IS SO GREAT THAT THE COME BACK TO THEIR BEST GAME IN ORDER TO WIN WHEN THINGS ARE NOT GOING WELL. PLAY THOSE PRACTICE MATCHES SO YOU CAN PRACTICE UNDER GAME CONDITION WITHOUT REGARD FOR THE OUTCOME.
