ADD RESOLVE TO YOUR TENNIS GAME



AS A TENNIS PLAYER your life is full of difficulties. Whether it's difficulties within your daily routines involving your practice, fitness or matches, things can occur daily that chip away at your confidence in your ability to reach your goals and expectations

To different degrees, those challenges can affect your ability to continue practicing and playing at your optimal level. They can be demotivating. 

You need high levels of RESOLVE to be a successful tennis player. You need the ability to keep striving towards your goals despite those difficulties. 


So how do you develop or strengthen resolve? How do you continue going forward despite the difficulties and challenges? 

T
he 3 most important factors for developing RESOLVE are …


1. REMOVE YOURSELF FROM NEGATIVITY

Remove yourself from any negative environment you might be in at the time. Nothing you try to do to build strong resolve will work within a negative environment.



The negativity could be coming from the people around you or your surroundings. Remove yourself immediately and find a better, more positive environment!


2. HAVE GOALS

Know where you want to be in the future and create daily plans based on how to get there.

Have GOALS and METHODS on how you will reach your goals.

If the goal is to rise up the rankings to reach a certain position, identify what areas will give you the boost you need to get there (it could involve working on a technical, tactical, fitness, or mental part of your game), then create the means to improve in that area(s).

Setting goals and daily schedules to work on your goals is empowering and will strengthen your resolve when faced with difficulties or challenges.


3. MOTIVATION


If you have REMOVED YOURSELF FROM NEGATIVITY and have established GOALS and know how you want to work on your goals daily you will feel empowered and motivated!

Motivation comes from being in a positive environment and having an action plan based on your long term goals.

                           



Motivation is the juice you will draw from every day, both on, and off the court.

Once you have these three elements present in your tennis life you will find that your resolve to win in the close or long matches is greater. You feel entitled to win those matches because you're putting the work in off-court, you've paid your dues!
